Intended Use
The BirthTrack System is an ultrasound device intended to be used for monitoring the active phase of labor in women with term pregnancies, vertex presentation, and ruptured membranes. It is intended to be placed when cervical dilation is between 3 cm and 7 cm. The device continuously measures cervical dilation and fetal head station with ultrasound transducers attached to the maternal abdomen and cervix and to the fetal scalp. These measurements are displayed numerically and graphically as a function of time to show the progress of labor.
Device Description
Barnev's BirthTrack system uses ultrasound technology to provide measurements of cervix dilatation and fetal head station. The BirthTrack Workflow and measurements cycle have not changed with this version and signals from disposable sensors located on the maternal cervix and fetal head provide objective and continuous cervical dilatation and fetal head station data, reducing the need for frequent vaginal examinations. However signal analysis was enhanced with a new algorithm- a "side inclination" correction algorithm. The system's GUI was also enhanced introducing a graphic illustration of CD and HS as measured by the BirthTrack system
More Information

No
The summary mentions a "new algorithm" for "side inclination" correction, but there is no indication that this algorithm utilizes AI or ML techniques. The description focuses on ultrasound technology and signal analysis without mentioning any AI/ML specific terms or concepts.

No
The device is described as an ultrasound system used for monitoring cervical dilation and fetal head station during labor, providing diagnostic information rather than directly treating or mitigating a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for monitoring the active phase of labor and provides continuous measurements of cervical dilation and fetal head station. This information assists healthcare providers in assessing the progress of labor, which is a diagnostic function. While it doesn't diagnose a disease, it provides critical information to diagnose the stage and progress of a physiological process (labor).

No

The device description explicitly states it uses ultrasound transducers attached to the maternal abdomen, cervix, and fetal scalp, indicating hardware components beyond just software.

No, 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 outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • BirthTrack System Function: The BirthTrack System uses ultrasound technology to directly measure cervical dilation and fetal head station within the living body (in vivo). It is a monitoring device that provides real-time data about the progress of labor.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that it is an ultrasound system used for in-vivo monitoring, not for testing samples in a laboratory setting.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Based on bench studies and clinical evaluation, we believe that the Birthtrack System is a low risk device. Moreover, the risks imposed by the Birthtrack system are lower or equal to these imposed by the predicate devices and standard medical practice. The performance of the Birthtrack system is substantially equivalent to the performance of its predicate device cited above and to these of manual procedures.

§ 884.2800 Computerized Labor Monitoring System.

(a)
Identification. A computerized labor monitoring system is a system intended to continuously measure cervical dilation and fetal head descent and provide a display that indicates the progress of labor. The computerized labor monitoring system includes a monitor and ultrasound transducers. Ultrasound transducers are placed on the maternal abdomen and cervix and on the fetal scalp to provide the matrix of measurements used to produce the display.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls are the FDA guidance document entitled: “Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Computerized Labor Monitoring Systems.” See § 884.1(e) for availability of this guidance document.

Predicate Device:

The BirthTrack System is comparable to the following predicate devices:

  • The system evaluated is software version 2 of the previously cleared BirthTrack (K080672) manufactured by Barnev. It is enhanced with a new User Interface and a new algorithm.

Device Description:

Barnev's BirthTrack system uses ultrasound technology to provide measurements of cervix dilatation and fetal head station. The BirthTrack Workflow and measurements cycle have not changed with this version and signals from disposable sensors located on the maternal cervix and fetal head provide objective and continuous cervical dilatation and fetal head station data, reducing the need for frequent vaginal examinations.
