More Information

No
The description focuses on basic Doppler technology for detecting and displaying FHR, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a fetal ultrasonic monitor intended for displaying fetal heart rate and allowing the user to hear the heartbeat sound, not for treating any medical condition.

Yes
The device is described as a fetal ultrasonic monitor that detects and displays FHR, and it is explicitly stated that it is "especially suitable for routine use in OB/GYN," indicating its role in providing objective medical information for monitoring purposes.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as an ultrasound sensor, LCD display, speaker, and battery operation, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the BABYCARE device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • BABYCARE's Function: BABYCARE uses ultrasonic energy to detect and display the fetal heart rate and allow the user to hear the fetal heartbeat. It interacts directly with the pregnant woman's body and does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, BABYCARE falls under the category of a medical device but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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).
