Intended Use
These devices are replacement accessories for the original manufacturer's fetal monitor transducers and are intended to monitor and chart Fetal Heart Rate and maternal uterine activity. These devices are replacement accessories for the original manufacturer's fetal monitor transducers and are intended to obtain signals to monitor and chart Fetal Heart Rate and maternal uterine activity on a fetal monitor.
Device Description
Cetro America, Inc. Transducers for Ultrasonic and Tocodynamometer fetal monitoring will be used as replacements for similar transducers manufactured by Corometrics (currently GE), Hewlett Packard Medical (currently Phillips Medical) and Advanced Medical Systems (currently Spacelabs Medical) and their respective fetal monitors. The ultrasound transducer is used to detect Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) using the ultrasound Doppler shift technology. Ultrasound transducers operate in a pulsed Doppler mode with around a 33% Duty Cycle. The Tocodynamometer transducer uses a strain gauge to detect uterine contraction frequency and duration during labor.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on standard ultrasound Doppler and strain gauge technology for fetal monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is used for monitoring and charting Fetal Heart Rate and maternal uterine activity, which are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

No.

The device is a replacement accessory for fetal monitor transducers that monitor and chart Fetal Heart Rate and maternal uterine activity, rather than providing a diagnosis based on that data. It obtains signals, but does not diagnose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the devices are "Transducers for Ultrasonic and Tocodynamometer fetal monitoring" and describes their physical components and how they function using ultrasound and strain gauge technology. These are hardware components, not software.

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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that these devices are replacement accessories for fetal monitor transducers. They are used to monitor and chart Fetal Heart Rate and maternal uterine activity by obtaining signals from the patient's abdomen.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It directly interacts with the patient's body to acquire physiological signals.

Therefore, since the device does not perform tests on samples taken from the body, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a medical device used for physiological monitoring.

(a)
Identification. A perinatal monitoring system is a device used to show graphically the relationship between maternal labor and the fetal heart rate by means of combining and coordinating uterine contraction and fetal heart monitors with appropriate displays of the well-being of the fetus during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. This generic type of device may include any of the devices subject to §§ 884.2600, 884.2640, 884.2660, 884.2675, 884.2700, and 884.2720. This generic type of device may include the following accessories: Central monitoring system and remote repeaters, signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, and component parts.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
