Intended Use
Intended for use in measuring the intensity, duration, and frequency of uterine contractions during labor. Also, the catheter may be used for amnioinfusion of fluid into the uterus or to sample amniotic fluid.
Device Description
An intrauterine catheter with a pressure transducer at the tip, a port for amnioinfusion and amniotic fluid sampling signal wires, and an introducer which is removed after placement. System includes a reusable cable with a zero mechanism and an attachment strap. Catheters are packaged within a PETG tray with a heat sealed tyvek lid. Unit of sale is a case of 10 IUPC's.

No
The summary describes a physical catheter and associated hardware for measuring uterine contractions and performing amnioinfusion/sampling. There is no mention of software analysis, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance study section also focuses on meeting established specifications rather than evaluating algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is used for measuring uterine contractions and for amnioinfusion or fluid sampling, which are diagnostic and procedural functions rather than therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used to "measuring the intensity, duration, and frequency of uterine contractions during labor," which provides information about the patient's physiological state to help guide medical decisions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a catheter, pressure transducer, cable, and introducer, indicating it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure uterine contractions, perform amnioinfusion, and sample amniotic fluid within the uterus. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body and physiological processes.
  • Device Description: The device is an intrauterine catheter with a pressure transducer, ports, and associated components for insertion into the uterus.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device operates inside the body.

The device described is a medical device used for monitoring and intervention during labor, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples in a lab setting.
