The Monica AN24 is an intrapartum maternal-fetal monitor that non-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR) and uterine activity (UA). The AN24 acquires and displays the FHR & MHR tracing from abdominal surface electrodes that pick up the fetal ECG (fECG) and maternal ECG (mECG) signal. Using the same surface electrodes, the AN24 also acquires and displays the UA tracing from the uterine electromyography (EMG) signal. The AN24 is indicated for use on women who are at term (>36 completed weeks), in labor, with singleton pregnancies, using surface electrodes on the maternal abdomen.
The AN24 maternal-fetal monitor is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.
The Monica AN24™ is a small, battery-powered device for L&D surveillance of fetal well-being. The AN24™ is designed to passively monitor Fetal Heart Rate (FHR)), maternal heart rate (MHR) and Uterine Activity (UA) during pregnancy and can be used at any time from > 36 completed weeks gestation in laboring patients. The AN24™ is suitable for singleton pregnancies only.
The Monica AN24 is a small, battery powered electrophysiological monitor (specifically fetal ECG, maternal ECG and uterine EMG). The electrical signals are passively monitored on three channels using five electrodes placed on the pregnant abdomen in specific locations. From these electrical signals the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR) and Uterine Activity (UA) are continuously extracted and displayed in the same standard format as the predicate device.
Here's an analysis of the Monica AN24 device's acceptance criteria and study, based on the provided 510(k) summary:
Monica AN24 Device Acceptance Criteria and Study Analysis
The Monica AN24 is an intrapartum maternal-fetal monitor. This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the Monica AN24's Maternal Heart Rate (MHR) monitoring capability to a predicate SPO2 pulse oximeter (Philips M1191A). The FHR and UA monitoring capabilities had previously been cleared (K101801).
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The study aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Monica AN24's MHR monitoring compared to the predicate SPO2 pulse oximeter.

§ 884.2720 External uterine contraction monitor and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An external uterine contraction monitor (i.e., the tokodynamometer) is a device used to monitor the progress of labor. It measures the duration, frequency, and relative pressure of uterine contractions with a transducer strapped to the maternal abdomen. This generic type of device may include an external pressure transducer, support straps, and other patient and equipment supports.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
