3.6 Fetal Heart (FH) Examining

FH examining with 2.0MHz/3.0MHz obstetrical probe

1) Confirm the fetus’s position by hand.

2) Determine the probable probe location for ideal FHR examining.

3) Take out the probe and switch on the Doppler.

4) Apply a certain amount of coupling gel to the probe faceplate and place the probe against the

abdomen at the predetermined location. Move the probe around or tilt it until clear and

rhythmic heart sound is heard from the headphone or speaker. At the same time, a numeric

FHR is displayed on the LCD (except SONOTRAX Lite).

NOTE:

1 The best quality records will only be obtained if the probe is placed in the optimum

position.

2 Positions with strong placental sounds or umbilical blood flow sound should be

avoided.

3 If the fetus is in the cephalic position and the mother is supine, the clearest heart

sound will normally be found on the midline below the umbilicus. During examining,
the pregnant woman’s prolonged lying in the supine position should be avoided
owing to the possibility of supine hypotension. Sitting up or lateral positions are
preferable and may be more comfortable.

4 It is impossible to examine FHR unless a fetal heart sound is present. The fetal pulse

can be distinguished from the maternal pulse by feeling the mother’s pulse during
the examination.

recording, and RECORDING appears on the LCD. The longest record time depends on the

recording sampling frequency set in mode 5.

The machine stops recording and returns to the examining status when the time is over or when

you press the REC/PLAY button again.

Playing:

Press the REC/PLAY button in mode 1, 2 or 3 when the machine is not recording, PLAYING

appears on the LCD, and the machine plays the recorded signals.

The machine stops playing and returns to the examining status when the signal playing is

completed or when you press the REC/PLAY button again.

NOTE:

Only the last set of recorded fetal heart sounds is saved in the Doppler. It is cleared
when new sounds are recorded.

3.9 Vascular Examining (Optional)

WARNING

The device is not intended for ophthalmic use. Do not use it for examining ophthalmic
vessels, or any other procedures which may cause the ultrasound beam to pass through
the eye.

4MHz, 5MHz or 8MHz vascular probes are to be connected to the Doppler to perform vascular

examination.

Choose the appropriate probe as required. The probe with how frequency has a deeper

penetration depth, while the probe with high frequency has better resolution and wider detecting

range. The 4MHz vascular probe is optimized for examining blood vessels; the 5MHz vascular

probe is optimized for examining deeper vessels, and the 8MHz vascular probe is optimized for

examining surface vessels.

Apply a liberal amount of gel on the site to be examined. Place the probe at a 45º angle on the skin

over the vessel to be examined. Adjust the position of the probe to obtain the loudest blood flow

sound. Refer to figure 3-13 for the probe sites:

SONOTRAX Series Ultrasonic Pocket Doppler User Manual Operation

Figure 3-13 Probe sites

For best results, keep the probe as still as possible once the optimum position is found. Adjust the

volume as required. High pitched pulsatile sounds are emitted from arteries while veins emit a

non-pulsatile sound similar to a rushing wind.

Vascular examination only provides audio signals of arteries and veins. The figure displayed on

the LCD screen is null.
