Dr Diaz Portable Pocket Fetal Doppler with Alarm Function

Description

A fetal doppler, also known as a fetal heartbeat monitor, is a handheld medical device used to listen to and monitor the heartbeat of a developing fetus during pregnancy. The device utilizes the Doppler effect, which is a change in frequency or pitch of sound waves when they bounce off a moving object, to detect and amplify the fetal heartbeat.

How it Works:

1. Ultrasound Waves: The fetal doppler emits ultrasound waves, which are high-frequency sound waves that can penetrate through the abdominal wall and reach the developing fetus.
2. Doppler Effect: When the ultrasound waves encounter movement (in this case, the moving blood in the fetal heart), their frequency changes. This change is known as the Doppler effect.
3. Detection: The device’s probe, which looks like a small wand, is placed on the mother’s abdomen. The probe contains a transducer that sends and receives the ultrasound waves.
4. Amplification: The doppler detects the reflected ultrasound waves as they bounce back from the moving blood cells in the fetal heart. The device amplifies these signals and converts them into audible sounds.
5. Audible Heartbeat: The amplified signals are then played through a speaker or earphones, allowing the expectant mother, medical professionals, or others present to listen to the rhythmic sound of the fetal heartbeat.

Product Features:

Dr Diaz Fetal dopplers come with various features designed to make them user-friendly and effective in monitoring the fetal heartbeat. While specific models may have different capabilities, here are some common features you might find in a Fetal Doppler:

1. Ultrasound Probe: The device comes with a handheld probe equipped with a transducer. This probe is placed on the mother’s abdomen to emit and receive ultrasound waves, allowing the detection of the fetal heartbeat.
2. LCD Display: Some fetal dopplers have an LCD display that shows essential information such as the baby’s heart rate, signal strength, battery status, and other relevant data.
3. Audio Output: Fetal dopplers have a built-in speaker or a headphone jack to provide an audible representation of the fetal heartbeat. This allows the expectant parents or medical professionals to listen to the baby’s heartbeat in real-time.
4. Heart Rate Indicator: The device may have a heart rate indicator that displays the baby’s heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). This feature helps in tracking the baby’s heart rate over time.
5. Battery Operation: Most fetal dopplers are battery-operated, making them portable and convenient for home use or clinical settings.
6. Volume Control: To adjust the sound level of the fetal heartbeat, many dopplers have a volume control option.
7. Real-Time Monitoring: Fetal dopplers provide real-time monitoring of the fetal heartbeat, allowing for immediate feedback and reassurance.
8. Signal Quality Indicator: Some models have a signal quality indicator, which helps users find the best position on the mother’s abdomen to obtain a clear and strong heartbeat signal.
9. Recording Capability: Certain advanced models might have the ability to record and save audio clips of the fetal heartbeat for future playback or for sharing with loved ones.
10. Multiple Probes: Some fetal dopplers offer interchangeable probes with different frequencies, suitable for use in various stages of pregnancy or for different body types.
11. Bluetooth Connectivity: In more advanced models, you may find Bluetooth connectivity, allowing the device to pair with a smartphone or other devices for data transfer or additional features through dedicated apps.
