The product is mainly used to detect the fetal heartbeat rate (FHR) and the sound of the fetal heartbeat (SFH).
The growth and development of a fetus can be found out through examination of these indices. It is applicable for department of gynaecology and obstetrics and clinic daily
Fetal Doppler consists of probe (transmitter and receiver) and signalprocess unit.
Ultrasonic wave is transmitted from one piezoelectric ceramic at the front of
the probe to the uterus of the pregnant women. Echo is received by the
other piezoelectric ceramic at the front of the probe when ultrasonic wave
reaches the fatal heart. Then it is converted into voltage. This Doppler signal
is detected and demodulated from the received signal. And the Doppler
frequency is consistent with the rhythm of the fetal systole and diastole.
Once cardiac valves vibrate and a Doppler frequency excursion is formed. It
is transmitted an output signal of cardiac valves vibrating, and it is sent to
the loudspeaker for getting a rhythmical sound with the fetal heartbeat.
Simultaneously, it is sent to a counter which calculate periods of heartbeat
that is fetal heartbeat rate (bpm=beat per minute).
