Intended Use
The Sense4Baby System Model B+ is indicated for monitoring of maternal and fetal physiologic parameters during the antepartum period. It is to be used by health care professionals in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, antepartum rooms, and in the patients' home on the order of a physician.
Device Description
The Sense4Baby Model B+ is a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system used to measure fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine contractions during antepartum (nonstress) testing. The system transmits the measured data to a gateway device, and then a HIPAA-Compliant web based portal for storage and physician review.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a system for measuring and transmitting physiological data, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is indicated for monitoring and measurement of physiological parameters during the antepartum period, which is a diagnostic rather than therapeutic function.

Yes
The device monitors physiologic parameters (fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine contractions) and transmits data for physician review, which is a key characteristic of diagnostic devices.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system" that "measure[s] fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine contractions." It also mentions "Hardware testing" and "Mechanical testing" in the performance studies, indicating the presence of physical hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Sense4Baby System Model B+ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Sense4Baby Function: The Sense4Baby System Model B+ is described as a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system that measures physiological parameters (fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine contractions) directly from the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Sense4Baby System Model B+ falls under the category of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mark Job,

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
