The provided 510(k) summary for the BABYCARE fetal ultrasonic monitor does not contain explicit acceptance criteria or a detailed study proving the device meets specific performance thresholds in a clinical or standalone setting. Instead, the submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (IMEX's Pocket, 510k #K910462) based on technological characteristics and performance parameters.
Here's an analysis of the information provided in the context of your request:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since explicit "acceptance criteria" for a study are not listed, the table below presents the performance characteristics of the BABYCARE device as described, and how they are compared to the predicate device. The claim is "identical" or "similar" rather than meeting pre-defined acceptance thresholds from a study.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred/Claimed from Predicate Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (BABYCARE) |
|---|---|
| Ability to measure fetal heart rate after 12 weeks of pregnancy | Possible to measure fetal heart rate after 12 weeks of pregnancy (Identical to predicate) |
| Output power (sound/ultrasound) | ≤ 100mW/cm² (Identical to predicate) |
| FHR Measuring Range | 50bpm ~ 240bpm (Identical to predicate) |
| Resolution | ± 3bpm (Listed in technical specifications) |
| Ultrasound frequency | 2.0 Mhz (Listed in technical specifications) |
| Sensitivity | 12 Weeks Fetus (Listed in technical specifications) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not report any specific sample size for a test set or study data. The entire submission is based on a "technological characteristics" comparison to a predicate device, not on new clinical performance data from a specific test set. Therefore, there is no information on data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications
This information is not provided as there is no mention of a study involving ground truth establishment by experts for the BABYCARE device. The claims are based on substantial equivalence to an already approved predicate device.
4. Adjudication Method
Not applicable. No study requiring adjudication is described in the provided text.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not conducted/reported. The submission does not describe any MRMC study or any comparison of human readers with or without AI assistance. The device is a standalone fetal heart rate monitor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for interpretation by human readers.
6. Standalone Performance Study
A formal standalone performance study with detailed results is not explicitly described in the provided 510(k) summary. The "Performance" claim in the table is "Identical" to the predicate, meaning it is expected to perform comparably based on its technical specifications. The technical specifications listed (FHR Measuring Range, Resolution, Sensitivity) are inherent to the device's design and operation, rather than derived from a performance study.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
Not explicitly stated/used for the BABYCARE device's performance demonstration. The entire premise is substantial equivalence to a predicate device, implying that the predicate's established performance serves as the reference.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. The BABYCARE device described is a hardware-based fetal heart rate monitor using continuous wave Doppler echoscopy. There is no mention of a "training set" as it is not a machine learning or AI-driven device.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for this type of device, ground truth establishment for a training set is not relevant.

§ 884.2660 Fetal ultrasonic monitor and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A fetal ultrasonic monitor is a device designed to transmit and receive ultrasonic energy into and from the pregnant woman, usually by means of continuous wave (doppler) echoscopy. The device is used to represent some physiological condition or characteristic in a measured value over a period of time (e.g., perinatal monitoring during labor) or in an immediately perceptible form (e.g., use of the ultrasonic stethoscope). This generic type of device may include the following accessories: signal analysis and display equipment, electronic interfaces for other equipment, patient and equipment supports, and component parts. This generic type of device does not include devices used to image some relatively unchanging physiological structure or interpret a physiological condition, but does include devices which may be set to alarm automatically at a predetermined threshold value.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
