No
The summary describes a traditional maternal/fetal monitoring system with standard vital sign measurements and alarms. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of these technologies.
No
The device is described as a "Maternal/Fetal Monitoring System" and its intended use is to monitor various physiological parameters of the mother and fetus, not to treat any condition.
Yes
The device monitors fetal heart rate, uterine activity, and maternal vital signs (blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heart/pulse rate, temperature) to assess fetal and maternal well-being, which falls under the definition of providing information to aid in diagnosis. While it states maternal vital signs are an "adjunct in patient assessment," the overall function of monitoring these parameters to understand the physiological state of the mother and fetus serves a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as Doppler Ultrasound, TOCO transducer, intrauterine pressure catheter, and probes for blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and temperature. This indicates it is a hardware-based system with software control, not a software-only device.
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 Corometrics 250 Series Maternal/Fetal Monitoring System primarily uses non-invasive methods (Doppler Ultrasound, TOCO transducer, blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, ECG) to monitor physiological parameters of the mother and fetus. While it uses an intrauterine pressure catheter for uterine activity, this is still a direct measurement within the body, not a test on a sample taken from the body.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples (blood, urine, etc.) to provide diagnostic information. It measures real-time physiological signals.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
I. Fetal Surveillance
A Corometrics 250 Series Maternal/Fetal Monitoring System is used for noninvasive and invasive monitoring of the fetus during the antepartum period as well as throughout labor and delivery (i.e. fetal heart rate and uterine activity monitoring). Fetal movement detection and fetal heart rate alarm options (user selectable high/low and poor signal quality alarms) are available.
II. Maternal Monitoring
A Corometrics 250 Series Maternal/Fetal Monitoring System is intended for monitoring maternal vital signs to help assess maternal well-being. The vital signs which can be measured with these monitor configurations are summarized as follows:
NOTE: Maternal vital signs provided by the monitor should only be used as an adjunct in patient assessment in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
Blood Pressure: The monitor is intended for use in the non-invasive monitoring of maternal blood pressure (NBP). This monitor is not intended for use in the neonatal or pediatric blood pressure monitoring.
Pulse Oximetry. The monitor is intended for use in the non-invasive monitoring of maternal functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (MSpO2).
Heart/Pulse Rate. The monitor is intended for use in the non-invasive monitoring of the maternal heart/pulse rate. Additionally, an MECG waveform 'snapshot'' may be displayed and printed.
NOTE: Only the maximum configuration provides both maternal heart rate and pulse rate data.

Dear Ms. Smieja:
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 such 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.
