This warranty covers defects in material and workmanship and is accompanied by a guaranteed satisfaction policy.
Which interchangeable probes work with the LifeDop 250?
The LifeDop 250 is compatible with the full line of Summit Doppler non-directional interchangeable probes, making it suitable for both obstetrical and vascular monitoring applications. You must select one probe frequency when purchasing the unit (or choose the ‘No Probe’ option).
Available probe options include:
- 3 MHz Probe: Ideal for general-purpose use and early fetal heart detection.
- 2 MHz Probe: Recommended for late-term fetal heart detection.
- 2 MHz (Waterproof) Probe: A specialized option available for certain clinical environments.
Durability and Convenience Features
This probe system is designed for long-term clinical use:
- Superior Protection: Probe crystals are protected by high-quality durable plastic casing, guarding against cracking from accidental drops.
- User-Serviceable Cable: The connection cable utilizes a standard phone cord, allowing users to easily replace a worn or broken cable with any standard phone cord to minimize downtime and avoid service costs.
Does the display offer an extended heart rate range?
Yes, the LifeDop 250 features a large LCD that provides an extended fetal heart rate range.
The monitoring range is:
- 50 to 220 bpm (beats per minute)
Additionally, the informative display shows crucial real-time feedback on battery life and signal quality.
What is included with the LifeDop 250 display Doppler?
The Summit Doppler LifeDop 250 Display Hand-Held Doppler is sold as a complete, factory-new unit ready for immediate use, featuring a robust rechargeable power system. The base package includes:
- LifeDop 250 Display Main Unit: This is the ergonomic handheld device with the large LCD screen that indicates heart rate (50 to 220 bpm), battery status, and signal quality.
- Rechargeable Power System: This includes three rechargeable batteries and the dedicated recharge adapter.
- Interchangeable Probe: Customers are required to select one compatible non-directional probe (e.g., 2 MHz or 3 MHz) or the ‘No Probe’ option during purchase.
Unique Durability Feature
A notable feature is the user-serviceable cable for the probe. The connection uses a standard phone cord, allowing users to quickly and easily replace a worn or damaged cable themselves, which helps to minimize downtime and avoid professional service costs.
Are the probe cables user-replaceable?
Yes, a standout feature of the LifeDop 250 is its user-serviceable probe cable design, which enhances durability and operational efficiency. The connection between the main Doppler unit and the interchangeable probe utilizes a standard phone cord.
This design provides significant benefits:
- Minimizes Downtime: Staff can quickly replace worn or damaged cables themselves, avoiding the need to send the entire unit away for repair.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Standard phone cords are inexpensive and readily available, making maintenance fast and affordable.
Does the LifeDop 250 have an informative digital display?
Yes, the LifeDop 250 is equipped with a large LCD screen designed to provide clear, crucial feedback during examinations. This informative digital display shows three essential data points:
- Extended Fetal Heart Rate: Displays the heart rate in an extended range from 50 to 220 beats per minute (bpm).
- Signal Quality: Provides visual feedback on the quality of the ultrasound signal being received.
- Battery Life: Indicates the remaining charge, ensuring you know when to recharge the included batteries.
Does the rechargeable LifeDop 250 show battery status?
Yes, the Summit Doppler LifeDop 250 is designed for continuous use and easy power management.
The unit is supplied with three rechargeable batteries and a necessary recharge adapter/power supply.
For convenience, the large, informative LCD screen provides critical feedback, including the real-time battery status and a clear low battery indication, helping to ensure extended usage time.
What are the LifeDop 250's dimensions and weight?
The LifeDop 250 is 140 mm (H) x 70 mm (W) x 35 mm (L) and weighs 0.71 lb (320 grams).
Is ultrasound gel required for optimal performance?
Yes, using ultrasound gel is required to ensure optimal performance and accurate readings from the LifeDop 250.The gel acts as an acoustic coupling agent, maximizing signal transmission between the probe and the skin. This is essential for two key benefits:* Accurate Detection: Ensures the device reliably captures readings across the extended fetal heart rate range (50 to 220 bpm).* High-Quality Audio: Works with the custom chip technology to deliver clear audio and minimizes common ultrasound crackling noise.For optimal results, compatible consumables such as Parker Aquasonic Clear Ultrasound Gel are suggested.
Does this Doppler offer superior sound quality?
Yes, the Summit Doppler LifeDop 250 is engineered for superior sound quality and clear diagnostic interpretation.
The system achieves this through several key features:
- High-Fidelity Speaker: The unit is equipped with a high-fidelity speaker designed to deliver clear, theater-quality sound performance.
- Custom Chip Technology: It utilizes custom chip technology to actively minimize the traditional crackling noise associated with standard Doppler devices, ensuring exceptional clarity.
This robust audio design ensures accurate and reliable monitoring for both obstetrical and vascular applications.
