Intended Use
The Philips Avalon CTS Cordless Fetal Transducer System (M2720A) and Accessories is indicated for pregnant women from about 22 weeks of gestation on through delivery. It is intended for continuous cordless fetal monitoring in connection with a fetal monitor for resting or ambulating patients, also usable during hydrotherapy, for antepartum testing and labor and delivery (intrapartum). The system should only be used by, or under the direct supervision of, a licensed physician or other health care practitioner who is trained in the use of fetal heart rate monitors and in the interpretation of fetal heart rate traces. It is not intended for home use.
Device Description
The Perinatal Monitoring System operates by measuring, processing, and transmitting standard fetal parameters to any Philips Series 50 fetal monitor using radio transmission technology. A group of three wireless transducers is available to obtain specific fetal data in the antepartum period and during labor and delivery. The transducers are designed to operate while the patient is ambulatory, including activity taking place in a submerged water environment, like bathing and hydrotherapy. The devices are identified by the following model numbers: System and Base Station M2720A; Toco transducer M2725A (measures uterine activity externally); US transducer M2726A (measures fetal heart rate and fetal movement profile); and the optional ECG/auxiliary transducer M2727A (measures DECG or direct fetal scalp ECG and MECG or maternal ECG).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a system for measuring, processing, and transmitting standard fetal parameters using radio transmission technology. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.

The device is intended for continuous cordless fetal monitoring, measuring and transmitting fetal parameters. It is a diagnostic and monitoring device, not one that directly treats a condition or disease.

Yes

The device measures, processes, and transmits standard fetal parameters (fetal heart rate, uterine activity, fetal movement profile, DECG, MECG) to a fetal monitor for interpretation, which are used to assess the health of the fetus. This process of collecting and providing data to interpret a patient's condition falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components (transducers, base station) and the summary of performance studies includes hardware verification testing.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Philips Avalon CTS Cordless Fetal Transducer System measures physiological parameters directly from the pregnant woman and the fetus (uterine activity, fetal heart rate, fetal movement, direct fetal ECG, maternal ECG). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes monitoring the pregnant woman and fetus during pregnancy and labor, not analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Stacha:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
