Patent ID: 7854237

Claim:
An aligning device adapted to be placed on top of a fetal monitoring transducer, the device comprising: a housing body encapsulating at least one hollow chamber, the hollow chamber comprising at least one resiliently deformable wall; and a valve means for creating a selectively operable fluid conduit passing through the housing body to the hollow chamber, and wherein the housing body comprises: five hollow chambers comprising a first central chamber, and four radially disposed chambers, each of the five hollow chambers being in fluid isolation from the other hollow chambers, each chamber having a corresponding resiliently deformable wall; the valve means further comprises five individual valves, each valve being associated with a specific hollow chamber of the five hollow chambers to enable individual fluid control of each chamber whereby the associated resiliently deformable wall may be selectively inflated or deflated by a pumping means coupled via the associated valve.
