Maternity system agreement signed

This new product provides maternity, fetal medicine and neonatal applications to integrate with the Huntleigh Dopplex Centrale labour ward CTG monitoring and archiving system. Peter Cashin, managing director of the Diagnostic Products Division of Huntleigh Healthcare, said: “This relationship places Huntleigh Healthcare in a unique world-leading position, allowing us to offer our customers total solutions from handheld Dopplers and fetal monitors, right through to integrated hospitalwide, or even Trust-wide maternity systems.” While Huntleigh Healthcare intends to take this product into the global marketplace, it is also ideally placed to deliver an advanced maternity system into the National Programme for IT, giving maternity units in England the opportunity to choose world class products which are locally developed and supported.
