Comments on: My Fetal Dopplers Is Not FDA Approved. :(? http://www.babyheartbeatmonitor.co.uk/my-fetal-dopplers-is-not-fda-approved.php Listen to your baby heartbeat from 8 weeks Tue, 22 May 2012 11:02:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Growing Xanden Wyatt-Due 3/5/09 http://www.babyheartbeatmonitor.co.uk/my-fetal-dopplers-is-not-fda-approved.php/comment-page-1#comment-2279 Growing Xanden Wyatt-Due 3/5/09 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 06:13:30 +0000 http://www.babyheartbeatmonitor.co.uk/my-fetal-dopplers-is-not-fda-approved.php#comment-2279 how's it working for you?? Is it finding your baby's heartbeat okay and giving accurate readings? I honestly wouldn't worry about stuff like that for this doppler. I guess it just means its intended to be used in another country? I think its okay... :) I'd use it also as long as it works...... Some people say that you shouldn't use any doppler. I would just take it into your midwife maybe or try to return it and get another. You aren't suppose to use it all day every day but I think once a day is fine. i used mine once or twice a day until my boy started moving. how’s it working for you??

I would not use it just because it can cause fetal problems, its a high frequency. The mHz is the reason its not fda approved.

Most likely this company just didn't bother with the paperwork/expense to go through the procedure to get the FDA stamp. Personally, I would feel fine about it. It's a fetal doppler like most others. There's a decent chance that it was made in the same factory as other brand name, approved devices.There's nothing magical about FDA approval (unfortunately). Use the doppler correctly (i.e., briefly), even on a regular basis, and you will be just fine. It’s not the frequency; there are plenty of 2.5mHz dopplers (and 2, and 3mHz) that are approved.
