Intended Use
PUREtrace™ is an electromyography (EMG) device that non-invasively measures intrapartum uterine activity. PUREtrace™ is indicated for use on women who are at term (≥37 completed weeks), in labor, with singleton pregnancies. The signal is acquired from surface electrodes that are placed on the maternal abdomen. PUREtrace™ is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.
Device Description
PUREtrace is a device for registering the electrical activity of the uterine muscle (myometrium) of laboring patients. PUREtrace consists of a multi surface-electrode patch (Graphium patch) and a hardware module (PUREtrace module). The Graphium patch is applied to the abdomen of the patient and acquires the electromyography (EMG) signal of the uterine muscle (electrohysterography, EHG). During a contraction, a large number of uterine muscle cells contract in a controlled manner and the changes in potential can be measured as changes in electrical on the skin of the pregnant woman's abdomen. This signal is sent to the PUREtrace module, converted into a measure for uterine activity and subsequently sent to a compatible fetal monitor where it is displayed as a tocogram. PUREtrace is available in multiple variants with different output connectors to facilitate interfacing with various fetal monitors.

No
The document describes a device that measures electrical signals and converts them into a displayable format. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The performance study focuses on clinical interpretation and comparison to predicate devices, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

No
The device is used to measure and display uterine activity, providing diagnostic information for healthcare professionals, rather than directly treating a condition.

Yes

The device measures intrapartum uterine activity using electromyography (EMG) and displays it as a tocogram, which provides information about the physiological state of the patient (uterine contractions). This measurement helps healthcare professionals understand the labor progression.

No

The device description explicitly states that PUREtrace consists of a multi surface-electrode patch (Graphium patch) and a hardware module (PUREtrace module), indicating it includes physical hardware components for signal acquisition and processing.

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.
  • PUREtrace Function: PUREtrace is described as an electromyography (EMG) device that non-invasively measures uterine activity by acquiring electrical signals from surface electrodes placed on the maternal abdomen. This is a measurement of physiological activity on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, PUREtrace falls under the category of a medical device that measures physiological signals, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

An observational clinical study has been conducted with an enrollment of 42 women at term and in active labor, who were simultaneously monitored on uterine activity (UA) with PUREtrace, tocodynamometry (TOCO) and intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC). 40 UA registrations that consisted of sufficient useable data were assessed to evaluate the performance of PUREtrace. The tracings were reviewed by three individual clinical investigators, who were blinded to the technology used and the study subjects corresponding with the tracings. The clinical investigators assessed the interpretability of the tracings. In addition, they annotated the tracings by marking all deflections they assessed to be uterine contractions.

Device Description:

PUREtrace is a device for registering the electrical activity of the uterine muscle (myometrium) of laboring patients. PUREtrace consists of a multi surface-electrode patch (Graphium patch) and a hardware module (PUREtrace module). The Graphium patch is applied to the abdomen of the patient and acquires the electromyography (EMG) signal of the uterine muscle (electrohysterography, EHG). During a contraction, a large number of uterine muscle cells contract in a controlled manner and the changes in potential can be measured as changes in electrical on the skin of the pregnant woman's abdomen. This signal is sent to the PUREtrace module, converted into a measure for uterine activity and subsequently sent to a compatible fetal monitor where it is displayed as a tocogram. PUREtrace is available in multiple variants with different output connectors to facilitate interfacing with various fetal monitors.

Indications for use:

PUREtrace™ is an electromyography (EMG) device that non-invasively measures intrapartum uterine activity.

Predicate Comparison

The following table compares PUREtrace to the predicate device with respect to indications for use and technological characteristics:

5

PUREtrace has the same intended use but different technological characteristics compared to the predicate device. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Summary of non-clinical performance testing

Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that PUREtrace met all design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:

  • . Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:2009 including cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009), sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010) and irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010)
  • . Electrical Safety testing per IEC 60601-1:2005 + CORR. 1 (2006) + CORR.2 (2007) with US deviations per AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility testing per IEC 60601-1-2:2007

Software verification and validation testing was also conducted as recommended in FDA's Guidance Document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (May 11, 2005).

Summary of clinical performance testing

An observational clinical study has been conducted with an enrollment of 42 women at term and in active labor, who were simultaneously monitored on uterine activity (UA) with PUREtrace, tocodynamometry (TOCO) and intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC). 40 UA registrations that consisted of sufficient useable data were assessed to evaluate the performance of PUREtrace. The tracings were reviewed by three individual clinical investigators, who were blinded to the technology used and the study subjects corresponding with the tracings. The clinical investigators assessed the interpretability of the tracings. In addition, they annotated the tracings by marking all deflections they assessed to be uterine contractions. The study demonstrated that PUREtrace performed substantially equivalent to the predicate device for displaying uterine activity of term pregnant women in active labor.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

Based on the comparison and analysis above, PUREtrace is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
