The Fetal Doppler is intended to detect fetal heart beats, display fetal heart rate, and play the fetal heart sound from early gestation. The device should only be used by a trained medical professional in a clinical setting and is not intended for operated by the patient at home.
The subject device (model FD88) is a hand-held device for non-invasive measurement and display of the fetal heart rate (FHR) utilizing Dopler ultrasound. It includes two major components: main unit and probe. The main unit consists of the main board, power module, battery, speaker, and LCD screen. The main unit is supplied by a rechargeable 3.7V/500mAh Li-ion battery. The wired probe contains two angled semi-circle ultrasonic crystals, one for transmission and the other for reception. The ultrasonic signal is continuously transmitted (at a frequency of 2.5 MHz), received and presented to the user as numerical display. This device is intended to be used after 12 weeks gestation for singleton by a trained health professional in a clinical setting.
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted for the Fetal Doppler, Model FD88 (K182710).
Here's the information broken down as requested:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The submission does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the Fetal Doppler's performance. Instead, it states that the device's "Performance is Same as the predicate device," and then lists the predicate device's performance specifications. Therefore, the predicate device's performance can be inferred as the "acceptance criteria" for substantial equivalence.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (from predicate device K180419) | Reported Device Performance (Model FD88) |
|---|---|---|
| FHR Measuring Range | 50-210 bpm | Same as predicate device (50-210 bpm) |
| Resolution | 1 bpm | Same as predicate device (1 bpm) |
| Accuracy | ± 2 bpm | Same as predicate device (± 2 bpm) |
| Acoustic Output (ISATA) |
§ 884.2660 Fetal ultrasonic monitor and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A fetal ultrasonic monitor is a device designed to transmit and receive ultrasonic energy into and from the pregnant woman, usually by means of continuous wave (doppler) echoscopy. The device is used to represent some physiological condition or characteristic in a measured value over a period of time (e.g., perinatal monitoring during labor) or in an immediately perceptible form (e.g., use of the ultrasonic stethoscope). This generic type of device may include the following accessories: signal analysis and display equipment, electronic interfaces for other equipment, patient and equipment supports, and component parts. This generic type of device does not include devices used to image some relatively unchanging physiological structure or interpret a physiological condition, but does include devices which may be set to alarm automatically at a predetermined threshold value.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
