Activeforever Babycom Home Doppler Fetal Heartbeat Monitor - Manual

Home Fetal monitoring device
Introduction
Nano Medica has developed Babycom , a patented home fetal monitoring
device that enables fast, easy, convenient detection of the fetal heartbeat
and determines the fetal heart rate. Babycom’s proprietary wide beam angle
ensures accurate results simply and safely. Now, in the privacy of your own
home you can monitor your baby's heartbeat with the same state-of-the-
art devices used by your medical practitioner. Being able to share this
special experience, creates a bond with you and your family, reassures you,
gives you peace of mind, and connects you to your baby's world.
How It Works
Babycom is based on the Doppler shift principle. The tip of the sensitive
transducer contains two piezoelectric crystals. One crystal transmits very
low ultrasonic waves; the other detects these reflected waves. As these
waves reach moving tissue, such as the fetal heart, they bounce back and
their pitch shifts slightly. This change in pitch is the Doppler shift. Babycom’s
wide ultrasonic beam angle and further algorithmic processing convert the
shifted ultrasonic waves into the audible sound of the fetal heartbeat. (Since
the sound waves do not travel through the air easily, a gel is applied
between the transducer and the abdomen to conduct the sound waves.)
About Diagnostic Ultrasound
Ultrasound in pregnancy has been used as a diagnostic tool for more
than 25 years. It has long been considered one of the safest means
available for obtaining information about the unborn baby. Global studies
and tests conducted by manufacturers, government agencies, and
research institutions have not indicated or revealed any adverse side
effects of diagnostic ultrasound.
