UltraTec PD1dwr - Water Birth Fetal Doppler

The UltraTec PD1dwr is an extension of the PD1+ to provide General Practitioners or Midwives with a product suitable for use in “water birth” applications. A waterproof probe allows fetal signals to be located easily under water while the audio and fetal heart rate data are available to the user in the normal way.

The UltraTec PD1dwr is a small, lightweight, high sensitivity pocket Doppler with built in fetal heart rate processing. The 2MHz fetal Doppler probe is sealed for immersion in water and ideal for use by a General Practitioner or Midwife for routine antenatal fetal detection or waterbirth FHR monitoring.

The fetal heart rate is displayed on a large LCD display with the audio signal available to the user via the built in loudspeaker or optional headset with output level controlled by rotary volume control. FHR traces are available by connection of the serial output to the optional UltraTrace 2 PC compatible software.

The fetal signals are easily located using the sealed lightweight narrow beam transducer while internal signal processing minimises the noise artefacts.

The unit is powered by a standard 9V battery which provides over 6 hours of use. The PD1dwr meets all current EEC standards for medical equipment.
