Abstract		Primary objective: To build and test a simple vibroacoustic foetal stimulator. Research design: A vibroacoustic foetal stimulator was constructed and subjected to bench testing. Clinical trial was carried out in comparison to an electro laynx. Main outcome and results: Screening specificity of 98% and 100% sensitivity was achieved, with no decrease in specificity due to user's maladjustments. The device was characterized by simple use, maintenance and disinfection. Conclusion: The device is a good screening instrument for foetal health in prenatal care, despite its simplicity and low price.
