These findings are all the more positive as they relate, specifically, to the extremely powerful, high-intensity hospital ultrasound machines, and not to the tiny ultrasound output of portable Dopplers. Indeed, no reported difficulties have ever been raised since the introduction of low-power Dopplers, such as the BabySonic.
For additional peace of mind, BabySonic adheres to stringent standards, regulations and directives. Please click on the links for further information.
