Nicolet Imex Probe for Elite Doppler

This Probe is used with the CareDOP, Elite 100 & Elite 200 Dopplers.



The 2 MHz OB probe has a deeper signal penetration and is best used to determine fetal viability in larger women and later in pregnancy. It will consistently pick up the fetal heartbeat at 12 weeks, and is prefered for use during labor and delivery. The 2 MHz waterproof OB probe is ideal for underwater labor and delivery. When using the 2 MHz waterproof probe, the main unit of the Doppler remains outside of the water bath to provide clear, undistorted sound.

The 3 MHz OB probe has a shallower focus than the 2 MHz and is more sensitive to early fetal heartbeats. It can pick up the fetal signals as early as 8-10 weeks. It is most commonly used to find fetal heartbeats and to monitor the fetus in the earlier stages of pregnancy.

The 5 MHz Vascular probe has a deeper penetration than the 8 MHz. It is most commonly used for post-surgical patients, monitoring hard-to-find pulses, locating and monitoring deep veins and arteries in legs; and for ABI studies in larger patients.

The 8 MHz vascular probe has a shallower focus and is best used for monitoring peripheral vessels. It is most commonly used for Ankle/Brachial Index (ABI) studies; finding pedal pulses; wound care; and locating hard-to-find pulses in peripheral vessels of diabetic patients.
