The Team3 fetal monitors are indicated for use by trained healthcare professionals in noninvasive and invasive monitoring of physiological parameters in pregnant women and fetuses, during the antepartum and intrapartum periods of pregnancy.
The Team3 fetal monitors are intended for pregnant women with singleton or twin pregnancies from the 28th week of gestation, through to term and delivery.
In cases of triplet, the Team3 fetal monitors are intended for use from 30th week of gestation through 35 weeks gestation.
The devices are intended for use in clinical and hospital-type facilities.
Sonicaid Team3 Antepartum is suitable for use when there is a need to monitor the following physiological applications:
- Single, twin or triplet fetal heart rates by means of ultrasound
- Uterine activity - externally sensed
- Manual fetal movement detection - maternally identified using the event marker
- Automatic fetal movement detection (defaults to OFF / Not for use in twin or triplet pregnancies)
- Maternal heart rate and oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry
- Maternal non-invasive blood pressure
- The DAWES REDMAN Cardiotocography (CTG) analysis output - advises whether a number of defined criteria indicative of a normal cardiotocograph record has been met for singleton pregnancies but not for triplet pregnancies. It provides nonspecific analysis in twin pregnancies due to nonspecific fetal movement input
Sonicaid Team3 Intrapartum is suitable for use when there is a need to monitor the following Physiological applications:
- Single, twin or triplet fetal heart rates by means of ultrasound and/or FECG
- Manual fetal movement detection - maternally identified using the event marker
- Maternal heart rate via ECG electrodes
- Uterine activity - externally or internally sensed
- Maternal heart rate and oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry
- Maternal non-invasive blood pressure
The Sonicaid Team3 is a fetal monitoring device designed for perinatal monitoring. The subject device provides non-invasive and invasive monitoring of physiological parameters in pregnant women and fetuses, including singleton, twin, and triplet fetal heart rate monitoring, during antepartum and intrapartum periods. The subject device includes systems and accessories intended to perform perinatal monitoring as aligned with product code HGM.
The subject device is a modification to the Sonicaid Team3 (K241368) to allow for triplet fetal heart rate monitoring. This modification affects the hardware of the device only. An additional port has been made available on the front of the monitor to allow for a third ultrasound transducer to be connected, so three fetal heart rates can be monitored at once.
All other parameters, materials, software and technology remain identical to the predicate device.

The Sonicaid Team3 subject device has the same intended use as the predicate device - a system and accessories intended to perform perinatal monitoring. As noted in the table above, the subject device has identical technological characteristics as the predicate device, except for the inclusion of a third ultrasound transducer port, to allow for triplet fetal heart rate monitoring. This different technological characteristic does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and can be addressed through performance testing.
6. Performance Data
| Testing Conducted | Discussion |
|---|---|
| Functional Performance Bench Testing | Performance bench testing was performed on the Sonicaid Team3 device with the incorporation of the new technological characteristic – triplet fetal heart rate monitoring. Ultrasound performance bench testing for triplet heart rate detection was included. Testing demonstrated accurate and simultaneous detection of three independent fetal heart rates across the full operating range (30–240 bpm), with accuracy within ±2 bpm, meeting the predefined acceptance criteria. No concerns were noted. The performance verification, along with the risk analysis confirmed there are no new safety, effectiveness or performance concerns. |
| Clinical Validation | Clinical validation was assessed via a prospective observational study and carried out by trained healthcare professionals, such as Midwives, in a variety of UK hospital settings and feedback was given. The validation testing was to confirm the device meets the user requirements and functions as intended, with the focus |
K250777

K250777
Page 6 of 7
| of the validation to confirm triplet functionality. In this study of 15 FHR tracings from 8 patients (30–35+6 weeks GA), 100% of evaluators reported correct display and print of fetal heart rates, 100% rated trace quality acceptable, and 93% rated audio performance acceptable, with no major or minor concerns documented. It was concluded that the Sonicaid Team3 meets the intended use and is fit for purpose in regards to the additional feature of monitoring triplets. | |
|---|---|
| EMC | Further EMC testing was conduction on the product with triplet fetal heart rate monitoring functionality option, by a third party laboratory. Testing confirms device complies with EN 60601-1-2:2020 |
7. Conclusion
The results of the performance testing described above demonstrates that the Sonicaid Team3 is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
