What is foetal heart simulator calibration?
Foetal heart simulator calibration ensures these devices accurately replicate foetal heartbeats, allowing biomedical engineers to verify the performance and accuracy of foetal heart monitors used in obstetric care. Calibration involves checking heart rate simulation accuracy against a higher-precision reference standard, ensuring reliable readings for foetal health assessments.
Why is calibration important for foetal heart simulators?
Foetal heart simulators play a critical role in maternity care, helping clinicians monitor the health of a foetus before birth. Regular calibration is essential to:
- Ensure accurate foetal heart rate measurements for patient monitoring
- Maintain compliance with medical safety regulations
- Prevent incorrect diagnoses due to inaccurate heartbeat simulations
- Support reliable performance in hospitals, maternity wards, and medical manufacturing
Incorrect foetal heart rate readings could lead to misdiagnosis of foetal distress, delayed intervention, or unnecessary medical procedures, making regular calibration crucial for patient safety.
