Hi all,
Just in case anyone was looking to buy one. Read this:
"The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is asking women not to use the Baby Beets Fetal Doppler after concerns that it might not reach the required standards of safety and quality, or that it works, as required by the Medical Devices Regulations. The MHRA was alerted to the product being sold on the Internet by a legitimate manufacturer of foetal monitors. As there is no evidence that the safety and performance of this product has been assessed in accordance with the Medical Devices Regulations, the product could pose a potential risk to the mother and/or baby in respect of any energy emitted.
Clive Bray, Director of Device Technology and Safety at the MHRA said, The MHRA is currently assessing certain safety aspects of the product. It must be stressed that initial indications are that the health risk to a pregnant woman and/or their baby is small. However, as a precautionary measure, I strongly urge anyone using this product to immediately discontinue use."
