switching on interface
Switching Off
Touch the power touch key for about 1second when the Doppler is on, and the Doppler will be switched
off.If the Doppler is not in operation or no signal is received for 1minute, the Doppler will be switched off
automatically.
⚫ FHR Detection
SD2 is designed to detect the fetal heartbeat from the 10th week of gestation.
Before applying the Doppler to inspect FHR, you should always check whether the Doppler is in good
condition and whether there is evident damage that might affect patient's safety and the device's
function.If evident damage is found, stop using it at once and replace it with a good one.
Procedures to Detect FHR:
a)
Have the patient lie on her back.
b)
Apply appropriate amount of coupling gel to the ultrasonic transducer head of the
Doppler and switch on the Doppler.
Palpate the patient's abdomen gently to confirm the fetus's position.
c)
Place the Doppler on the patient's abdomen, and move it around the fetus's position
d)
or tilt it until a clear and rhythmic heart sound is heard and FHR numeric is stably
displayed.
Note:
1 Do not mistake the maternal heart rate for fetal heart rate.The fetal pulse should be
different from the maternal pulse, which can be measured at the wrist or neck
2 Do not wear gloves to touch the keys. If there's water and coupling gel on the fingers, please clean
them first or the touching effect will be influenced.
How to Find the Best FH Signal:
1)
The easiest way: take the position the doctor last detected for FHR as a reference and move the
Doppler around the position slowly until the best FH signal is found.
2)
The fetal heart position may change as the fetus moves inside the uterus. You can confirm the fetal
position first according to the position of the uterus fundus in different gestational weeks.
➢ At the end of the 12-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 2-3 fingers' breadth (about 3-4.5
cm) above the symphysis pubis.
➢ At the end of the 16-week gestation, the uterus fundus is in the middle between the navel and
the symphysis pubis.
➢ At the end of the 20-week gestation, the uterus fundus is about 1 finger's breadth (about 1.5 cm)

The clearest and loudest fetal heart sound is generally obtained when the Doppler is placed on the
fetus's back. Fetal movement is usually the movement of fetal limbs. So, if frequent fetal movement
occurs at the right side of the abdomen, the fetus's back is probablyat the left sideand vice versa.You can
find the fetus's back according to fetal movement's position.
If the fetus is in cephalic delivery position, the fetal heart is either on the right side or on the left side
below the navel; if the fetus is in breech delivery position, the fetal heart is either on the right side or on
SpO2 Wave Display Interface
the left side above the navel.
Steps to Find Fetal Heart:
Have the patient lie on back and relax >> confirm fetal position by hand >> apply coupling gel to the
Doppler>> place the Doppler on patient's abdomen and start looking for the fetal heart >> the fetal heart
is found when the Doppler gives out a continuing thumping sound "boom-boom-boom".
1 The Doppler's degree of protection against harmful ingress of water is IP22. Do not immerse it
in water.
2 The Doppler is delicate and sensitive. Please handle it with care and try to avoid dropping on to
the ground or any hard surfaces. Any damage caused by dropping is not covered by the
warranty.
3 Keep the coupling gel away from children. If swallowed, consult a physician at once.
Note:
1 The best quality of fetal heart signal is obtained only when the Doppler is placed in the best
detection position.
2 Do not place the Doppler near positions where placental sound or umbilical blood flow sound
is loud.
3 If the fetus is in the cephalic position and the mother is supine, the clearest heart sound will
normally be found on the midline below the navel. During detection, the pregnant woman's
prolonged lying in the supine position should be avoided to reduce the possibility of supine
hypotension. Putting a pillow or cushion under the patient's head or feet can be of help.
4 It is not possible to obtain accurate FHR unless a clear fetal heart signal is detected. If the
calculated FHR is not in accordance with the beat of the fetal heart sound, the fetal heart
sound auscultation result shall prevail.
5 Whether the fetal heart sound can be obtained or not is related to the skill and qualification of
the operator.
6 If the fetal heart sound cannot be found for a long time, it is necessary make use of other
equipment.
7 When applied to the patient, the Doppler may warm slightly (less than 2°C (35.6°F) above
ambient temperature). When NOT applied, the Doppler may slightly (less than 5°C (41°F)
above ambient temperature).
⚫ SOV Prompt
When detecting fetal heart rate, there are possibilities that maternal HR signal is mistaken for FHR signal.
The SOV function can reduce these possibilities.Detect FHR and PR at the same time. When FHR and
PR signals overlap, SD2 will issue a sound. At this time, examine the patient or reposition the probe until
Volume numeric is displayed in the center of the
screen, and ranges from level 0 to 7.

⚫ SpO2 Detection
SpO2 Plethysmogram measurement is employed to determine the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in
the arterial blood. The SpO2 numeric shows the percentage of hemoglobin molecules which have
combined with oxygen molecules to form oxyhemoglobin. The SpO2/PLETH parameter can also provide
a pulse rate signal and a plethysmogram wave.
NOTE:
1 The device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
levels,
2 The monitor does not have specific SpO2 calibration baselines.
3 SpO2 waveform is not proportional to the pulse volume.
4 A Functional tester or simulator cannot be used to assess the SpO
be used to test the accuracy of a particular calibration curve duplicated by the device, and it
turns out the calibration curve meetsthe accuracy.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused but not limited by:
●
Incorrect device application
●
high levels of ambient light sources, such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light
source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight
●
failure to cover the sensor with fingerin high levels of ambient light conditions
●
dysfunctional hemoglobins
●
low peripheral perfusion
●
excessive or violent patient movement
●
venous pulsations
●
intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
●
externally applied coloring agents (nail polish, dye, pigmented cream)
●
defibrillation
●
placement of the device on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular
line
●
electromagnetic interference
●
Low perfusion
Lossofpulse signal can occur for the following reasons:
●
a blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with the device attached
●
there is arterial occlusion proximal to the device
●
low peripheral perfusion
⚫ Assessing the Validity of a SpO2 Reading
You can check the quality of the pleth wave and the stability of the SpO2 values to assess whether the
sensor functions properly and whether the SpO2 readings are valid. Always use these two indications
simultaneously to assess the validity of a SpO2 reading.
NOTE:
1 The SpO
accuracy has been validated in human studies against arterial blood sample
2
reference measured with a CO-oximeter. Pulse oximeter measurements are statistically
distributed, only about two-thirds of the measurements can be expected to fall within the
specified accuracy compared to CO-oximeter measurements. The volunteer population in the
studies composed of local healthy men and women from age 19 to 37, with variations of skin
pigmentations. The SpO
accuracy is as follows: ±2% for 90%-100% and ±4% for 70%-90%.
2
2 The pulse rate accuracy is obtained by comparison to the pulse rate generated with an arterial
oxygen simulator (also an electronic pulse simulator).
3 Generally, the quality of the SpO2 pleth wave reflects the quality of the light signals obtained by
the sensor. A wave of poor quality manifests a decline of the signal validity. On the other hand,
the stability of the SpO2 values also reflects the signal quality. Different from varying SpO2
readings caused by physiological factors, unstable SpO2 readings are resulted from the sensor's
receiving signals with interference. The problems mentioned above may be caused by patient
movement, wrong sensor placement or sensor malfunction. To obtain valid SpO2 readings, try to
limit patient movement, check the placement of the sensor, measure another site or replace the
sensor.
⚫ SpO2 Detection
1. Hold the device with one hand and press the thumb on the SpO2 sensor continuously.
2. Movement is not recommended during measurement.
3. When the signals are stable, read corresponding data from screen.
NOTE:Avoid external light sources such as radiated rays or ultrared rays.
After Detection
1) Switch off the Doppler.
2) Wipe the remaining gel off the patient and the probe with a clean soft cloth or tissue.
