Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 Rate Display Doppler

The interchangeable probe system is a major advantage of the Sonicaid FD2, offering high versatility for various clinical needs:

• Versatility: The system enables seamless transition between two primary diagnostic uses:
  • Obstetric Monitoring: Specialized probes (2 MHz or 3 MHz) are available for fetal heart rate (FHR) detection.
  • Vascular Assessment: A selection of probes (4 MHz, 5 MHz, 8 MHz, 8 Widebeam, or 10 MHz) supports non-invasive vascular applications.
• Optimized Signal Detection: Using the correct, specialized probe frequency for the specific application ensures high sensitivity and optimized performance. This is particularly valuable for enhancing signal detection in challenging cases, such as early gestation or patients with higher BMIs.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 is equipped with advanced Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) processing designed for superior performance and clear, reliable readings across various conditions. Its sophisticated technology is built to handle challenging clinical scenarios.

Key features that ensure optimal detection include:

• Three Unique Processing Modes: The FD2 utilizes three distinct FHR processing modes optimized to enhance signal quality across the widest range of conditions.
• Exceptional Sensitivity: This superior processing is particularly beneficial for examinations in early gestation and for patients with higher BMIs.
• Automatic Noise Reduction: Integrated automatic noise reduction helps produce acclaimed, lifelike fetal heart sounds, ensuring accurate and reliable monitoring.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 is compatible with the Dopplex Printa II accessory, enabling hard copy printouts of the FHR trace for detailed record-keeping. The FD2 provides real-time fetal heart rate data output and event marker capability, which are utilized when connected to the Printa II.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 uses a common, readily available battery type, simplifying replacement and maintenance.

Key details regarding the power supply:

• Battery Type: It operates on a single 9 volt (6F22) battery, which is included with your purchase.
• Efficiency: The device is highly efficient, capable of supporting up to 250 one-minute examinations on a single battery.
• Power Conservation: To preserve battery life, the unit utilizes automatic shut-off features (10 minutes when actively in use, and 3 minutes when no signal is detected).
• Status Indicator: A low battery indicator is included to provide timely notice when replacement is needed.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 includes both a built-in loudspeaker for audible detection of fetal heart sounds and a headphone output for private listening.

The Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 Doppler comes complete with essential items to ensure you can begin monitoring immediately. The comprehensive package includes:

• Main Doppler Unit (FD2)
• User Instructions
• 9 volt 6F22 battery
• 60g tube of ultrasound gel
• Carry Bag (Doppler Carry Pouch)

The unit also incorporates several features for convenience and functionality, such as a built-in loudspeaker, headphone output, and an integrated belt clip.

Important Note on Probes:

The FD2 system utilizes high-sensitivity, interchangeable probes. A probe and its 3.5m extended cable are only included if a specific frequency variant (e.g., 2 MHz Obstetric or 8 MHz Vascular) is selected at the time of purchase. If you choose the ‘Doppler Only; No Probe’ variant, the transducer probe is not included.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 Doppler features an automatic shut-off function designed to maximize the longevity of the battery life (up to 250 examinations of 1-minute duration).

The auto shut-off thresholds are as follows:

• If the device is actively in use, it shuts off after 10 minutes.
• If no fetal heart rate (FHR) signals are detected, the device shuts off sooner, after 3 minutes.

The Doppler unit operates on a standard 9 volt 6F22 battery.

The Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and during home visits. It’s designed for obstetricians, midwives, and vascular specialists. Combining it with the Dopplex Printa II is highly suggested.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 features a high-sensitivity, interchangeable probe system to ensure maximum versatility and specialized monitoring across various applications.

This system allows users to select the optimal probe frequency based on their diagnostic needs:

• Obstetric Monitoring (2 MHz or 3 MHz): These probes are optimized for superior fetal heart rate (FHR) detection, providing excellent performance even in challenging cases like early gestation or with patients who have higher BMIs.
• Vascular Assessment (4 MHz up to 10 MHz): A range of probes (4, 5, 8, 8 Widebeam, or 10 MHz) is available for non-invasive assessment of various vascular flows.

Yes, the Huntleigh Sonicaid FD2 Doppler is designed for maximum portability, making it ideal for use during rounds and movement across clinical settings.

• Lightweight and Compact: The unit measures only 140 mm x 74 mm x 27 mm and weighs just 0.65 lbs (295 g), including the probe and batteries.
• Convenient Carry Features: It includes a dedicated carry bag and a built-in belt clip for hands-free transport.
• Integral Storage: The design features integral probe protection and storage, securing the high-sensitivity interchangeable probe when not in use.
• Power Efficiency: The device operates on a standard 9-volt battery, capable of supporting 250 one-minute examinations before replacement is needed.
