No
The device description focuses on the physical components and function of a fetal spiral electrode for ECG signal acquisition, with no mention of AI or ML for signal processing or interpretation.
No
The device is described as an electrode for monitoring fetal heart rate by obtaining an ECG signal, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
No
The Intended Use / Indications for Use section states that the device is "For patients requiring fetal heart rate monitoring during labor." Fetal heart rate monitoring is a measurement of a physiological parameter, which is characteristic of a monitoring device rather than a diagnostic one. While the device obtains a fetal ECG signal, the purpose is for monitoring, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly details physical hardware components, including a spiral needle electrode, guide tube, drive tube, reference electrode, adapter cable, and maternal reference electrode connection.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: This device is a fetal spiral electrode that directly measures the fetal ECG signal by penetrating the fetal scalp. It is used for real-time monitoring of the fetal heart rate in vivo (within the living body).
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the body. It directly interacts with the patient's tissue to obtain a physiological signal.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The device consists of a stainless steel spiral needle electrode. It is fixed to the fetal scalp by penetration of the skin by the spiral needle and thereby obtains the fetal ECG signal. A guide tube and a drive tube are required to place the electrode and are then removed before monitoring is begun. A stainless steel reference electrode is included close to the body housing the spiral electrode.
The electrode is connected to the fetal monitor using a reusable adapter cable. A disposable maternal reference electrode connection is built into the adapter cable.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The safety and effectiveness are similar to existing devices as demonstrated in the laboratory testing. Biocompatibility testing shows that the materials used in the Fetal Spiral Electrode are safe for this application. Effectiveness is the same as the predicate devices. The laboratory testing verified the performance.

§ 884.2675 Fetal scalp circular (spiral) electrode and applicator.
(a)
Identification. A fetal scalp circular (spiral) electrode and applicator is a device used to obtain a fetal electrocardiogram during labor and delivery. It establishes electrical contact between fetal skin and an external monitoring device by a shallow subcutaneous puncture of fetal scalp tissue with a curved needle or needles. This generic type of device includes nonreusable spiral electrodes and reusable circular electrodes.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

The legally marketed devices to which equivalence is claimed are: Life Trace Fetal Spiral Electrode (K943732), Corometrics Spiral Electrode (K792669), HP Spiral Scalp Electrode (K771553), Medi-Trace Fetal Monitoring Spiral Electrode (K904745), MAI Fetal Scalp Electrode (K872057), Surgicraft Copeland Disposable (K844608).
Description of the device: The device consists of a stainless steel spiral needle electrode. It is fixed to the fetal scalp by penetration of the skin by the spiral needle and thereby obtains the fetal ECG signal. A guide tube and a drive tube are required to place the electrode and are then removed before monitoring is begun. A stainless steel reference electrode is included close to the body housing the spiral electrode.
The electrode is connected to the fetal monitor using a reusable adapter cable. A disposable maternal reference electrode connection is built into the adapter cable.
Intended use: For patients requiring fetal heart rate monitoring during labor.
The Fetal Spiral Electrodes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because: they have the same intended uses, namely, use for monitoring fetal heart rate, and they have the same basic technological characteristics as predicate devices, namely, an electrode that attaches to the fetal scalp. They use the same or similar materials, all of which have been shown to be biocompatible and to function well in the intended application.
The safety and effectiveness are similar to existing devices as demonstrated in the laboratory testing. Biocompatibility testing shows that the materials used in the Fetal Spiral Electrode are safe for this application. Effectiveness is the same as the predicate devices. The laboratory testing verified the performance.
