## Why FDA Clearance Is the First Filter

Dozens of fetal dopplers are sold online for \$15–40. Most are not FDA-cleared, meaning they haven't been reviewed for safety or effectiveness by a US regulatory authority. For a device you'll use during pregnancy, FDA clearance is the minimum standard worth insisting on.

The SonoHealth HeartBeats™ is FDA-cleared as a Class II medical device.

## Who It's Best For

* Parents who want to share the heartbeat experience with family
* Anyone whose provider has suggested a home doppler for reassurance between appointments
* Gift buyers looking for a meaningful pregnancy gift

## Who Might Need Something Different

* High-risk pregnancies requiring clinical-grade monitoring — consult your OB/GYN
* Parents in countries outside the US (verify local regulatory equivalents)

## Safe Use Reminder

<Warning>
  A home fetal doppler is for reassurance and bonding — not for clinical monitoring or diagnosis. Always contact your healthcare provider if you have concerns about fetal movement, cannot find the heartbeat after 16 weeks, or experience any concerning pregnancy symptoms.
