It’s a fetal heart rate monitor that uses the Doppler effect. Here’s how: ### How to use
1. ** Preparation ** : Before use, apply the coupling agent to the surface of the tire attachment probe to enhance the ultrasonic conduction effect. Check whether the device is fully charged.
2. ** Look for fetal heart location ** : about 16-20 weeks pregnant, fetal heart is generally near the median line below the navel; After 20 weeks of pregnancy, it can be looked for according to the fetal position, the head position is on both sides below the navel, and the breech position is on both sides above the navel. Pregnant women lie on their backs, relax their abdomen, and slowly move the handheld probe in the corresponding area to explore.
3. ** Measurement record ** : When you hear the regular sound of “plop” similar to the progress of a train, it is the fetal heart sound. At this time, the screen will display the value of fetal heart rate and record the result.
### Care points
1. ** Cleaning ** : Wipe the probe and body with a soft dry cloth after use to keep the surface clean. If there are stains, wipe the device with a small amount of clean water. Do not immerse the device in water.
2. ** Storage ** : Place in a dry, cool, non-corrosive gas environment, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature. When not used for a long time, the battery should be removed.
3. ** Periodic inspection ** : Periodically check whether the appearance of the device is damaged and whether the cable is damaged to ensure normal use.
### Suitable for people and stages
- ** Applicable population ** : mainly applicable to pregnant women, especially those who have a history of adverse pregnancy, suffer from pregnancy complications (such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, etc.) or are psychologically worried about the health status of the fetus and want to know the fetal heart rate at any time.
- ** Application stage ** : Generally around 12 weeks of pregnancy can start to use, as the gestational week increases, fetal heart rate is easier to monitor. It can be used throughout pregnancy to monitor fetal heart rate, but the third trimester (after 28 weeks) is of greater significance to help understand fetal safety in utero.
