Fetal & Maternal Monitor (Model: F15A, F15A Air) is intended for providing Non-Stress testing or fetal monitoring for pregnant women from the 28th week of gestation. It is intended to be used only by trained and qualified personnel in antepartum examination rooms, labor and delivery rooms.
Fetal & Maternal Monitor (Model: F15A, F15A Air) is intended for real time monitoring of fetal and maternal physiological parameters, including non-invasive monitoring and invasive monitoring:
Non-invasive physiological parameters:
- Maternal heart rates (MHR)
- Maternal ECG (MECG)
- Maternal temperature (TEMP)
- Maternal oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rates (PR)
- Fetal heart rates (FHR)
- Fetal movements (FM)
- FTS-3
Note: SpO2 and PR are not available in F15A Air.
Invasive physiological parameters:

- Direct ECG (DECG)
The F15A series fetal and maternal monitor can monitor multiple physiological parameters of the fetus/mother in real time. F15A series can display, store, and print patient information and parameters, provide alarms of fetal and maternal parameters, and transmit patient data and parameters to Central Monitoring System.
F15A series fetal and maternal monitors mainly provide following primary feature:
Non-invasive physiological parameters:
- Maternal heart rates (MHR)
- Maternal ECG (MECG)
- Maternal temperature (TEMP)
- Maternal oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rates (PR)
- Fetal heart rates (FHR)
- Fetal movements (FM)
- FTS-3
Note: SpO2 and PR are not available in F15A Air.
Invasive physiological parameters:
- Uterine activity
- Direct ECG (DECG)
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Fetal & Maternal Monitor (F15A, F15A Air) do not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer all aspects of your request regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them.
The document focuses primarily on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Edan Instruments, Inc., F9 Express Fetal & Maternal Monitor, K173042) through comparison of intended use, technological characteristics, and conformance to various safety and performance standards. It mentions "functional and system level testing to validate the performance of the devices" and "results of the bench testing show that the subject device meets relevant consensus standards," but it does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for each individual physiological parameter (e.g., FHR accuracy, SpO2 accuracy) nor the specific results of those tests beyond stating that they comply with standards.
Specifically, the document does not include information on:
- A table of acceptance criteria with specific quantitative targets for each parameter and the reported device performance values against those targets. It only states compliance with standards.
- Sample sizes used for a "test set" in the context of clinical performance evaluation (it mentions "bench testing," but this is typically laboratory-based and doesn't involve patient data in a "test set" sense for AI/algorithm performance validation).
- Data provenance for such a test set (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
- Number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.
- Adjudication methods.
- Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) studies or human reader improvement data with AI assistance.
- Standalone (algorithm-only) performance, as this is a monitoring device, not a diagnostic AI algorithm.
- Type of ground truth (beyond "bench testing" which implies engineered signals or controlled environments).
- Sample size for a training set or how ground truth for a training set was established. This device is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or interpretative algorithm in the way your request implies.
Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I can only address what is present or infer what is missing.
Here's a breakdown based on the available information:
Analysis of Acceptance Criteria and Performance Testing based on Provided Document
The provided 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (F9 Express Fetal & Maternal Monitor, K173042) by showing that the new device (F15A, F15A Air) has the same intended use and fundamentally similar technological characteristics, with any differences not raising new safety or effectiveness concerns.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a specific table with quantitative acceptance criteria for each physiological parameter (e.g., FHR accuracy, SpO2 accuracy) and the corresponding reported performance values obtained in testing. Instead, it states that the device was assessed for conformity with relevant consensus standards. For example, it lists:
- IEC 60601-2-37:2015: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment (relevant for FHR).
- ISO 80601-2-61:2017+A1:2018: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment (relevant for SpO2).
- ISO 80601-2-56:2017+A1:2018: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement (relevant for TEMP).
- IEC 60601-2-27:2011: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electrocardiographic monitoring equipment (relevant for MECG/DECG).
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from standards compliance): The acceptance criteria are implicitly the performance requirements specified within these listed consensus standards. These standards set limits for accuracy, precision, response time, and other performance metrics for each type of measurement.
Reported Device Performance: The document states: "The results of the bench testing show that the subject device meets relevant consensus standards." This implies that the measured performance statistics (e.g., accuracy, bias, precision) for each parameter fell within the acceptable limits defined by the respective standards. However, the specific measured values are not provided in this summary.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document mentions "Bench Testing" which implies laboratory-based testing using simulators, controlled signals, or phantoms, rather than a "test set" involving patient data. There is no information provided regarding:
- Sample size (e.g., number of recordings, duration of recordings, number of simulated cases) for the bench tests for each parameter.
- Data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) as this is not a study involving patient data collection for performance validation.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This is not applicable and not provided. For a traditional physiological monitor, ground truth for bench testing is typically established using:
- Calibrated reference equipment/simulators: e.g., ECG simulators to generate known heart rates, SpO2 simulators to generate known oxygen saturation levels.
- Physical standards/phantoms: e.g., temperature baths at known temperatures.
- Known physical properties: e.g., precise weights for pressure transducers.
Clinical experts are not involved in establishing ground truth for bench performance of these types of physiological measurements.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods are relevant for human expert review of complex clinical data (e.g., medical images for AI validation) to establish a consensus ground truth. For bench testing of physiological monitors, ground truth is objectively determined by calibrated instruments or defined physical parameters.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This is not applicable and not provided. An MRMC study is typically performed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of AI-assisted human interpretations versus unassisted human interpretations for AI-driven diagnostic devices. The Fetal & Maternal Monitor is a physiological monitoring device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation system. It measures and displays physiological parameters; it does not provide AI-driven assistance for human "readers" to interpret complex clinical information.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The device is a monitor that directly measures physiological parameters. It is not an "algorithm only" device in the sense of an AI model providing a diagnostic output. Its performance (e.g., FHR accuracy) is its standalone performance, as it directly measures these parameters. The document states "functional and system level testing to validate the performance of the devices," which would represent this type of standalone performance for the measurement functionalities. However, specific quantitative results are not given, only compliance with standards.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
As explained in point 3, the ground truth for bench testing of physiological monitors is established using calibrated reference equipment/simulators and physical standards.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable and not provided. This device is a traditional physiological monitor, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set." Its algorithms for parameter measurement are based on established physiological principles and signal processing techniques, not on statistical learning from large datasets.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable and not provided for the same reasons as point 8.
