NeoBeat

NeoBeat - When life starts

NeoBeat is a reusable and consumable-free heart rate (HR) meter. The hands-free device is easy-to-use and provides an accurate digital display of the newborn HR.

NeoBeat takes seconds to put on a newborn's torso and presents the HR rapidly. With rapid detection of HR, clinicians may have a better understanding of the newborn, enabling timely continuation of care.

Available in two different sizes:

Intended for use on newborns weighing 1.5 - 5 kg

NeoBeat Mini

Intended for use on newborns weighing 0.8 - 2 kg
