Spengler Pocket Doppler: Precision and Versatility for Portable Obstetric and Vascular Examinations
The Spengler pocket Doppler is a versatile medical device designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals, providing a portable and precise solution for obstetric and vascular examinations. Whether in a hospital setting, medical office, or at home, this 3-in-1 instrument is a smart choice for on-the-go practitioners.
Featuring a high-resolution 45 x 25 mm color LCD screen, the Spengler pocket Doppler displays essential data with clarity. Fetal heart rate is presented in real-time, with the option to choose between three working modes: real-time display, average fetal heart rate, and manual mode. This flexibility allows professionals to customize their approach based on the specific needs of each medical situation.
The device is compatible with three separate probes, sold separately, to offer maximum versatility. The 2 MHz probe is dedicated to fetal examination, ensuring reliable and precise detection of fetal heartbeats. The 5 MHz probe is specially designed for vascular examination, allowing practitioners to assess blood vessels accurately. Finally, the 8 MHz probe is dedicated to cardiac examination, providing detailed information on heart rhythm.
Ease of use is at the core of the Spengler Doppler's design, with intuitive controls including buttons for power on/off, volume adjustment, and choosing the working mode. A 3.5mm headphone jack allows for connecting headphones or a recorder, offering a private listening option or the ability to record data for later reference.
The LCD screen not only displays fetal heart rate but also graphical data such as the pulse waveform, signal strength (bar graph), and battery charge indicator. Numerical data, including heart rate, nominal frequency of the probe, and working mode, complete the information provided by the device.
In terms of performance, the Spengler pocket Doppler offers a fetal heart rate range of 50 to 240 beats per minute (BPM), with an accuracy of +/- 2 BPM. The working frequencies of the probes are also specified, with automatic detection when using interchangeable probes.
The Doppler is powered by two LR6 AA batteries, providing sufficient autonomy for daily examinations. Power consumption is minimal, less than 0.8 W, ensuring efficient use of batteries. Additionally, automatic shutdown after one minute without a signal helps extend battery life.
In terms of operating conditions, the Spengler Doppler is designed to operate in a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C, with relative humidity below 80% and atmospheric pressure between 70 kPa and 106 kPa. Recommended storage conditions include a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C, relative humidity below 93%, and atmospheric pressure between 50 kPa and 106 kPa.
The ergonomic design of the Spengler Doppler is reflected in its compact dimensions of 135 x 92 x 29 mm and its lightweight of 245 g (with batteries), making it an ideal travel companion for on-the-go healthcare professionals.
The Spengler pocket Doppler stands out for its versatility, precision, and user-friendliness. With its advanced features, interchangeable probe options, and portable design, it provides healthcare professionals with a powerful tool for effective obstetric and vascular examinations, regardless of the location of use.
