Maybe you're interested in renting/buying a Fetal Doppler or you know someone who has. If so, you may be unaware that by FDA regulation you must acquire physician approval in the form of a prescription to legally rent/purchase a baby Doppler. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, the penalty for procuring a medical device without a prescription can be as high as $16,500 per violation. This means that not only the company that you rent/buy from could be fined but you, the customer, as well. Beware online Fetal Doppler rental companies who don't require a prescription. These companies are putting their profitability in front of your well being.

All you need do is follow up with your physician and make sure they fax it back. It's easy and most importantly legal.

Are Fetal Doppler monitors safe?

This is an important question many expecting parents are asking themselves and the answer is yes! Since the late 1950's ultrasound technology has been used in Obstetrics/Gynecology with no evidence of any ill effect. This holds true to mother and child. The FDA regulates ultrasound technology and has approved the Fetal Doppler for 'continuous use.' This isn't to say you should monitor the heartbeat of your unborn baby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We feel that with everything in life, moderation is the best policy. When using a Fetal Doppler each exam should take no longer than 7-10 minutes 2-3 times weekly maximum.
