The TGA has cancelled all home-use fetal dopplers left on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, warning that the devices may give false reassurances to pregnant women.

A TGA safety review started in 2022 after obstetric services reported three stillbirths and one early neonatal death when patients were falsely reassured by at-home dopplers.
