Abstract: Monitoring and assessment of fetal movement with an input/output device (such as a touch screen) adapted to display a schematic representation of a pregnant woman's abdomen; at least one processor; a memory device; and at least one program adapted to receive input on the input/output device and record a fetal movement at a position in said pregnant woman's abdomen corresponding to a position of the input on the input/output device, and to count and save in the memory device a plurality of positions of fetal movements in said pregnant woman's abdomen over a recorded time period and to update the display with the position of the fetal movements in said recorded time period.

Abstract: A balloon adaptor formed from a single piece body for receiving therein a balloon flange. The balloon adaptor has a one-way valve that is located between an inflating opening and a balloon insertion opening. The balloon insertion opening has a forwardly diverging conical surface and ends, in a rearward portion thereof, with a sharp shoulder. The balloon flange abuts against a shoulder abutment surface that holds the balloon attached to the balloon adaptor during inflation of the balloon. The present invention also discloses a balloon release mechanism for easily releasing the inflated balloon from the balloon adaptor.
