Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler – Desktop FHR Monitor with Color LCD (Korea)

Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler – Desktop FHR Monitor with Color LCD (Korea)

The Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler is a Korean made desktop fetal heart rate monitor designed for clinics, maternity homes, and small hospitals requiring a reliable fetal heart rate monitor that doesn’t require the expense of a full CTG machine. It is ideal for use by gynecologists, midwives, and antenatal care centres with a moderate to high number of patients daily and who prefer having a dedicated, easy to read device at their desks instead of a hand held device passed between rooms.

Key Features & Benefits

• Large color LCD screen – The Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler displays fetal HR in big and clear digits so that the staff can read the reading from the LCD screen during the busy OPD hours without squinting at the small handheld display. 
• Desktop, fixed position design – The Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler remains fixed in the consultation room, which makes the routine checks quicker than having to look for the portable doppler between consultations. 
• Audio output for heartbeat sound – Allows the mother to hear the heartbeat directly, which is many times more reassuring to patients and instills trust in the visit in the Pakistani clinics.
• Stable signal processing – Avoids spurious readings due to foetal activity, which means the same test does not need to be repeated several times.
• Simple one button operation – Few training requirements are required, as the Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler is important when different members of staff rotate antenatal duties in the clinic. 
• Compact footprint – The Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler will fit on a standard clinic desk with a BP machine and weighing scale; no additional space is required. 
• Stable operation on standard mains supply – Works off the standard electrical outlet of the clinic, and if the clinic is in a location that has unstable voltage, then it is recommended to use it in conjunction with a basic UPS or stabiliser.

Who Should Buy This / Use Cases

This Doppler is ideal for busy antenatal clinics or small maternity units in big cities such as Lahore, Karachi, Multan and Faisalabad where dozens of routine check ups are conducted every day, and a fast and reliable desktop unit such as the Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler is needed to save time. It’s equally suitable for a private practitioner with only one consultation room who is seeking a professional device that’s not a basic handheld one. 

Its low running cost and simplicity of maintenance are beneficial for government and semi government dispensaries having limited budgets but regular attendance at the antenatal clinics. In many parts of the country, the electricity supply fluctuates, and sometimes power cuts for a few seconds could happen, so clinics are recommended to use a stabilizer or small UPS to safeguard the internal components of the Bistos BT-250 Fetal Doppler over the years of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to use a fetal doppler at home?

Most physicians recommend waiting until at least 12 weeks into the pregnancy before trying to identify a heartbeat because the heartbeat may not be detectable at this stage, not because there is a problem with the device. 

How to use fetal doppler?

Put a drop of ultrasound gel on the abdomen, take the probe, and lay it flat on the skin under the belly button. Slowly slide the probe at a low angle until you hear the heartbeat in a steady rhythm; do not press too hard. 

Is it safe to use a doppler in the first trimester?

The use of a Doppler ultrasound is considered safe for occasional use, but medical professionals discourage regular home use and suggest that a medical expert be used for checks during early pregnancy instead. 

Do at home fetal dopplers use radiation?

No, Fetal dopplers are not based on ionizing radiation, which is what is used in regular obstetric ultrasound at clinics. 

How many times can you use a fetal Doppler at home?

It’s not a one size fits all number, but doctors say if you’re using it to check out often, you shouldn’t use it for that unless it’s what your healthcare provider recommends on regular check up visits.
