-15%Handheld Fetal Doppler is a portable ultrasound device designed to assist with detection and assessment of fetal cardiac activity during pregnancy. The device uses Doppler ultrasound technology to detect movement associated with fetal cardiac activity and converts the detected signal into an audible sound. Models equipped with a digital display may also provide a calculated fetal heart rate (FHR). Its compact handheld design makes it convenient for antenatal clinics, maternity units, healthcare professionals and other appropriate pregnancy-care settings. KEY FEATURES: • Handheld fetal Doppler • Doppler ultrasound technology • Audible fetal heart signal • Digital fetal heart rate display where supported • Integrated speaker where supported • Compact and portable design • Simple handheld operation • Reusable ultrasound probe • Suitable for appropriate antenatal assessment • Designed for use with ultrasound coupling gel COMMON APPLICATIONS: • Detection of fetal cardiac activity • Fetal heart rate assessment • Routine antenatal examinations • Maternity assessments • Clinical skills training under appropriate supervision IDEAL FOR: • Maternity clinics • Antenatal clinics • Hospitals • Obstetric and gynaecology departments • Doctors and other appropriately trained healthcare professionals • Midwives and maternity-care teams • Medical and healthcare training environments • Home monitoring only where appropriate and in accordance with professional guidance GENERAL USE: Apply an appropriate ultrasound coupling gel to the examination area and position the probe according to the manufacturer's instructions. Move the probe gradually until an appropriate fetal cardiac signal is identified. Where a digital FHR function is available, allow the device sufficient time to establish a stable reading. After use, clean the probe and other patient-contact surfaces according to the manufacturer's instructions. IMPORTANT: A fetal Doppler is an assessment aid and is not a substitute for professional antenatal care, ultrasound examination or clinical evaluation. Difficulty detecting a fetal heartbeat at home does not by itself establish that something is wrong. Equally, hearing a heartbeat should not be used to assume that the pregnancy is otherwise well. Seek appropriate maternity assessment for concerning symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, significant abdominal pain, reduced fetal movements when movements are normally expected, or other pregnancy-related concerns.`
