The Pocket Fetal Doppler (Models CONTEC 10D, CONTEC 10E and CONTEC10F) is used to detect the fetal heart rate. The device should be used by health care professionals including nurses, midwives, and specialized technicians in the hospital, clinic, community and home. The device is intended for use at or after 12 weeks gestation.
The Pocket Fetal Doppler is a hand-held fetal Doppler used for non-invasive measurement and numerical display of the fetal heart rate (FHR) utilizing pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasound. The Pocket Fetal Doppler includes three models: CONTEC10E and CONTEC10E and CONTEC10F. All models have four components: upper shell, display and probe. The material for probe cap and shell is ABS. The device contains an ultrasonic signal transmitter and receiver, analog signals processing unit, FHR calculating unit, and LCD display control unit. The device is used to detect the fetal heart rate. The device should be used by health care professionals including nurses, midwives, and specialized technicians in hospital, clinic, community and home. This device can detect a fetal heart rate value at or after twelve weeks gestation.
The CONTEC10D is powered by a 3.7V lithium battery, the ultrasonic signal is continuously transmitted at a frequency of 2.5MHz.
The CONTEC10E and CONTEC10F is powered by two 1.5V batteries (AA LR6), the ultrasonic signal is continuously transmitted at a frequency of 2.5MHz.
The FDA 510(k) summary for the Pocket Fetal Doppler (CONTEC 10D, 10E, 10F) does not contain the level of detail typically found in a clinical study report for device acceptance criteria and performance, especially for AI/ML-based devices. This is a traditional medical device (fetal Doppler) and not an AI/ML device, hence some of the requested information (like number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or training set details) is not applicable or provided in this document.
However, based on the provided text, here's an attempt to extract the relevant information regarding performance and acceptance, and clarify what is not applicable or available:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for this device are primarily based on its ability to accurately measure fetal heart rate (FHR) within specified ranges and its compliance with relevant electrical safety, EMC, and performance standards.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
| Feature/Test | Acceptance Criteria (from testing standards/specifications) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| FHR Measuring Range | 50 BPM ~ 240 BPM | 50 BPM ~ 240 BPM |
| FHR Resolution | 1 BPM | 1 BPM |
| FHR Accuracy | ±2 BPM | ±2 BPM |
| Acoustic Output (ISATA) | < 20 mW/cm² (FDA guidance) | CONTEC 10D: < 10 mW/cm²CONTEC 10E/F: < 20 mW/cm² |
| Biocompatibility | Meets FDA Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1..." recommendations (Attachment G) | Device considered biocompatible (passed testing per ISO 10993 standards) |
| Electrical Safety | Complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11 | Complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11 |
| EMC | Complies with IEC 60601-1-2 | Complies with IEC 60601-1-2 |
| Performance (Ultrasonic) | Complies with IEC 60601-2-37 | Complies with IEC 60601-2-37 |
| Battery Safety | Complies with EN 62133 | Complies with EN 62133 |
| Use Life | Met design specifications | Passed Use Life testing |
| Battery Life | Met design specifications | Passed Battery life testing |
| Battery Indicator Performance | Met design specifications | Passed Battery indicator testing |
| Software Verification & Validation | Consistent with Basic level per 2023 FDA guidance "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" | Documentation consistent with Basic level |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document describes non-clinical testing to verify design specifications and compliance with standards. It does not mention a "test set" in the context of patient data or clinical trials with a specific sample size. The performance metrics (FHR range, resolution, accuracy) are likely derived from bench testing using simulators or controlled inputs, and not from a dataset of patient recordings.
- Sample Size: Not specified as it's non-clinical, likely involves a series of tests on manufactured units.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data. The tests are performed on the device itself.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
Not applicable. This is a hardware device measuring a physiological parameter. The "ground truth" for its performance is established by reference to calibrated measurement equipment and standardized test protocols, not by expert human interpretation of data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. There is no human interpretation or "test set" for adjudication, as it's a non-clinical device performance study.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:
No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI/ML diagnostic aids where the impact on human reader performance is evaluated. This device is a direct measurement tool for FHR, not an interpretive aid.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done:
Yes, the performance characteristics (FHR measuring range, resolution, accuracy, acoustic output) are essentially standalone performance metrics of the device as an instrument, independent of human interpretation during a diagnostic process. The stated performance data (e.g., FHR accuracy ±2 BPM) represents the device's inherent capability.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance tests is based on technical specifications and adherence to international and national standards. For example:
- FHR accuracy would be verified against a precisely known or simulated fetal heart rate signal.
- Acoustic output would be measured using specialized acoustic measurement equipment.
- Biocompatibility is determined by laboratory testing against ISO 10993 standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This device does not employ machine learning or AI that would require a "training set" of data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this traditional medical device.

§ 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).
