WARNING
FHR Monitoring
Before applying the Doppler to inspect FHR, you should always check
whether the Doppler is in good condition and whether there is evident
damage that might a ffect patient‘s safety and the device‘s function.If
evident damage is found, stop using it at once and replace it with a good
one.
Procedures to Monitor FHR:
a) Have the patient lie on her back.
b) Apply appropriate
amount of coupling gel
to the ultrasonic
transducer head of the
Doppler and switch on
the Doppler.
c) Palpate the patient‘s
abdomen gently to
confirm the fetus‘s
position.
d) Place the Doppler on
the patient‘s abdomen,
and move it around the
fetus‘s position or tilt it
until a clear and
rhythmic heart sound is
heard and FHR numeric is stably displayed.
Note:
1 Do not mistake the maternal heart rate for fetal heart rate.Do not
mistake the maternal heart rate for fetal heart rate. The fetal pulse
should be different from the maternal pulse, which can be measured at
the wrist or neck.
2 Do not wear gloves to touch the keys. If there's water and coupling gel
on the fingers, please clean them first or the touching effect will be
influenced.
How to Find the Best FH Signal:
1) The easiest way: take the position the doctor last monitored for FHR
as a reference and move the Doppler around the position slowly
until the best FH signal is found.
2) The fetal heart position may change as the fetus moves inside the
uterus. You can confirm the fetal position first according to the
position of the uterus fundus in different gestational weeks.
The clearest and loudest fetal heart sound is generally obtained
when the Doppler is placed on the fetus‘s back. Fetal movement is
usually the movement of fetal limbs. So, if frequent fetal movement
occurs at the right side of the abdomen, the fetus‘s back is
probablyat the left sideand vice versa.You can find the fetus‘s back
according to fetal movement‘s position.
If the fetus is in cephalic delivery position, the fetal heart is either on
the right side or on the left side below the navel; if the fetus is in
breech delivery position, the fetal heart is either on the right side or
on the left side above the navel.
Steps to Find Fetal Heart:
Have the patient lie on back and relax >> confirm fetal position by hand >>
apply coupling gel to t he Doppler>> place the Doppler on patient‘s
abdomen and start looking for the fetal heart >> the fetal heart is found
when the Doppler gives out a continuing thumping sound
―boom-boom-boom‖.
1 The Doppler‘s degree of protection against harmful ingress of water
is IP22. Do not immerse it in water.
2 The Doppler is delicate and sensitive. Please handle it with care and
try to avoid dropping on to the ground or any hard surfaces. Any
damage caused by dropping is not covered by the warranty.
3 Keep the coupling gel away from children. If swallowed, consult a
physician at once.
Note:
1 The best quality of fetal heart signal is obtained only when the Doppler
is placed on the best monitoring position.
2 Do not place the Doppler near positions where placental sound or
umbilical blood flow sound is loud.
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
navel. During monitoring, t he pregnant woman‘s prolonged lying in
the supine position should be avoided to reduce the possibility of
supine hypotension. Putting a pillow or cushion under the pa tient‘s
head or feet can be of help.
4 It is not possible to obtain accurate FHR unless a clear fetal heart
signal is detected. If the calculated FHR is not in accordance with the
beat of the fetal heart sound, the fetal heart sound auscultation result
shall prevail.
5 When applied to the patient, the Doppler may warm slightly (less than
2°C (35.6°F) above ambient temperature). When NOT applied, the
Doppler may slightly (less than 5°C (41°F) above ambient
temperature).
After Monitoring
1) Switch off the Doppler.
2) Wipe the remaining gel off the patient and the probe with a clean soft
cloth or tissue.

Ultrasound Intensity and Safety
Ultrasound in Medicine
The use of diagnostic ultrasound has proved to be a valuable tool in
medical practice. Given its known benefits for non-invasive investigations
and medical diagnosis, including investigation of the human fetus, the
question of clinical safety with regards to ultrasound intensity arises.
There is no easy answer to the question of safety surrounding the use of
diagnostic ultrasound equipment. Application of the ALARA (As Low As
Reasonably Achievable) principle serves as a rule-of-thumb that will help
you to get reasonable results with the lowest possible ultrasonic output.
The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) states that
given its track record of over 25 years of use and no confirmed biological
effects on patients or instrument operators, the benefits of the prudent use
of diagnostic ultrasound clearly outweigh any risks.
Ultrasound Safety and the ALARA Principle
Ultrasound waves dissipate energy in the form of heat and can therefore
cause tissue warming. Although this effect is extremely low with Doppler,
it is important to know how to control and limit patient exposure. Major
governing bodies in ultrasound have issued statements to the effect that
there are no known adverse effects from the use of diagnostic
ultrasound,however, exposure levels should always be limited to As Low
As Reasonably Achievable (the ALARA principle).
Explanation of MI/TI
MI (Mechanical Index)
Cavitations will be generated when ultrasound wave passes through and
contacts tissues, resulting in instantaneous local overheating. This
phenomenon is determined by acoustic pressure, spectrum, focus,
transmission mode, and factors such as states and properties of the tissue
and boundary. This mechanical bioeffect is a threshold phenomenon that
occurs when a certain level of ultrasound output is exceeded. The threshold
is related to the type of tissue. Although no confirmed adverse mechanical
effects on patients or mammals caused by exposure at intensities typical of
present diagnostic ultrasound instruments have ever been reported, the
threshold for cavitation is still undetermined. Generally speaking, the
higher the acoustic pressure, the greater the potential for mechanical
bioeffects; the lower the acoustic frequency, the greater the potential for
mechanical bioeffects.
The AIUM and NEMA formulate mechanical index (MI) in order to
indicate the potential for mechanical effects. The MI is defined as the ratio
of the peak-rarefactional acoustic pressure (should be calculated by tissue
acoustic attenuation coefficient 0.3 dB/cm/MHz) to the acoustic frequency.
MI = Pr, α
fawf ×CMI
CMI = 1 (MPa / MHz )
TI (Thermal Index)
Heating of tissues is caused by absorption of ultrasound when the
ultrasound energy is applied. The temperature rise is determined by the
acoustic intensity, exposed area and thermo physical properties of the
tissue.
In order to indicate the potential for temperature rise caused by thermal
effects, the AIUM and NEMA formulate thermal index (TI). It is defined
as the ratio of the total acoustic power to the acoustic power required to
raise the tissue temperature by 1ºC (1.8°F).
According to different thermo physical properties of the tissue, TI is
divided into three kinds: TIS, TIB and TIC.
TIS (Soft Tissue Thermal Index): It provides an estimate of potential
temperature rise in soft or similar tissues.
TIB (Bone Thermal Index): It provides an estimate of potential
temperature rise when the ultrasound beam passes through soft tissue and a
focal region is in the immediate vicinity of bone.
TIC (Cranial Bone Thermal Index): It provides an estimate of potential
temperature rise in the cranial bones or superficial bones.
Measurement Uncertainties
The uncertainties in the measurements were predominantly systematic in
origin; the random uncertainties were negligible in comparison. The
overall systematic uncertainties were determined as follows:
1. Hydrophone Sensitivity: ± 12percent for intensity, ± 6 percent for
pressure. Based on the hydrophone calibration report by ONDA. The
uncertainty was determined within ±1 dB in frequency range 1-15 MHz.
2. Digitizer: ±0.3 percent for intensity. ± 0.15 percent for pressure.
Based on the stated accuracy of the 8-bit resolution of the Agilent
DSO6012 Digital Oscilloscope and the signal-to-noise ratio of the
measurement.
3. Temperature:±2.4 percent for intensity uncertainty, ±1.2 percent for
pressure uncertainty.
Based on the temperature variation of the water bath of ± 1ºC (1.8°F).
4. Spatial Averaging: ± 3.5 percent for intensity, ± 1.75percent for
pressure.
5. Non-linear Distortion: N/A.
No effects of nonlinear propagation were observed.
Since all the above error sources are independent, they may be added
on an RMS basis, giving a total uncertainty of ± 12.73 percent for all
intensity values reported, ± 6.37 percent for all the pressure values,,± 12.6
percent for the Mechanical Index, uncertainty of ±12.73% percent for
power,±0.15 percent for center frequency, ±6.87%for the MI.
Prudent Use Statement
Although no confirmed bioeffects on patients caused by exposure from
present diagnostic ultrasound equipment have ever been reported, the
potential exists that such bioeffects may be identified in the future.
Therefore, the ultrasound should be used prudently. High levels of acoustic
output and long exposure time should be avoided while acquiring
necessary clinical information.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment
due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
SD1 Ultrasonic Pocket Doppler is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the SD1Ultrasonic Pocket Doppler should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or
relocating the SD1 Ultrasonic Pocket Doppler.
