More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard fetal and maternal monitor and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies listed are standard device validations, not AI/ML model performance evaluations.

No
The device is described as a monitor that non-invasively or internally monitors physiological parameters (such as FHR, uterine activity, maternal vital signs). There is no indication that it treats or cures any condition.

Yes

This device monitors various physiological parameters (FHR, TOCO, DECG, IUP, MECG, NIBP, MSpO2, TEMP) of pregnant women and fetuses. While it doesn't provide a direct diagnosis, the continuous monitoring of these parameters during antepartum examination, labor, and delivery is crucial for trained personnel to identify potential issues and make clinical decisions, thus serving a diagnostic function in the broader sense of assessing health status and identifying deviations from normal. It facilitates Non-Stress testing, which is a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "bedside fetal and maternal monitor" and lists various hardware components and sensors (ultrasound transducer, TOCO transducer, DECG, IUPC, NIBP sensor, SpO2 sensor, temperature sensor) used for data acquisition. Performance studies also include electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, which are relevant to hardware.

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 Fetal & Maternal Monitor described here is a device that monitors physiological parameters of the pregnant woman and fetus externally or internally using sensors and transducers. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Parameters Measured: The parameters measured (FHR, TOCO, FM, AFM, DECG, IUP, MECG, NIBP, MSp02, TEMP) are all physiological measurements taken directly from the patient, not from in vitro samples.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a patient monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Alice Yang:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of August 30, 2018.

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 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
