Aura Baby Encore is a compact handheld fetal Doppler designed to let expectant parents listen to fetal heartbeat sounds at home. It features an integrated 3 MHz probe, built-in speaker, and backlit LCD display.

Encore uses an integrated AXS™ 3 MHz high-sensitivity Doppler probe designed for fetal heartbeat listening.

Yes. Encore features a built-in MedHD™ speaker so fetal heartbeat sounds can be heard directly from the device without additional equipment.

Yes. The backlit LCD screen displays a calculated heart-rate reading in beats per minute (BPM) when the device processes a consistent signal.

Aura Baby Encore features an exclusive black backlit LCD display designed for clear, easy-to-read viewing.

Fetal heartbeat sounds may become easier to locate as pregnancy progresses. Results vary depending on gestational age, fetal position, body type, placenta position, and technique. Not finding a heartbeat with a home Doppler is not an indication that something is wrong.

Yes. Ultrasound gel helps transmit Doppler sound waves between the probe and the skin and is recommended whenever using Encore.

Ultrasound gel is recommended for proper sound transmission and the best listening experience. Using the device without gel can make fetal heartbeat sounds more difficult to locate.

Apply ultrasound gel to the lower abdomen and move the probe slowly while making small angle adjustments. Early in pregnancy, the fetal heartbeat may be located lower in the abdomen. Fetal position changes frequently, so the location can vary.

A fetal heartbeat is often described as a fast, rhythmic galloping sound. Other sounds, including your own pulse, movement, and blood flow, may also be heard through a fetal Doppler.

An adult resting heart rate is generally slower than a fetal heart rate. The Encore may display a calculated BPM reading when it receives a consistent signal, but the device should not be used to diagnose or assess fetal health.

Fetal position, gestational age, placenta location, body type, probe placement, and the amount of ultrasound gel can all affect listening. Try repositioning the probe slowly rather than moving quickly across the abdomen. If you have any medical concerns, contact your healthcare provider.

The displayed BPM is a calculated reading generated when Encore processes a consistent Doppler signal. Movement, maternal pulse, background signals, or an inconsistent signal may affect the displayed number. Encore is not intended for medical diagnosis or fetal assessment.

No. Aura Baby Encore is not a substitute for professional prenatal care. Always follow the prenatal care schedule and medical advice provided by your healthcare professional.

After use, remove ultrasound gel from the probe with a soft cloth and clean it according to the care instructions provided with the device. Do not immerse the Doppler in water or allow liquid to enter the device.

A 3 MHz probe is commonly used for fetal Doppler applications and is designed to provide sensitive detection of fetal heartbeat sounds through the abdomen.
