Intended Use
The WatchChild™ System is a complete Obstetrical Information Management System which has the ability to record, store, and display data from fetal monitors and maternal vital signs monitors, and manages patient information from the initial Fetal Stress Tests through post delivery discharge. WatchChild organizes clinical data which would normally be provided on paper records or other clinical systems and devices. This system serves as a decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record. This device is intended for use in a hospital/clinical environment.
Device Description
The WatchChild™ Obstetrical Patient Data Management System is a data management system that interfaces with patient monitoring equipment to record, display and/or archive the data. The system is a computer based system that contains software for easy data storage and retrieval of fetal/maternal data. The system is comprised of, in addition to the software, an IBM RISC System/6000, redundant disk drives to assure reproducibility of information, X-terminal graphics workstation, optical disk drive, and laser printer. WatchChild archives all fetal monitor data, maternal hemodynamic and waveform data (NIBP and SaO2), patient charting, admission forms, examinations, flowsheets, medications, lab results, discharge information, and notes. WatchChild automatically reads NIBP, SaO,, and heart rate at hospital defined intervals.
More Information

No
The description focuses on data management, storage, and display, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as an "Obstetrical Information Management System" and "data management system" that records, stores, and displays data from other monitors. It acts as a "decision support tool" and "electronic medical record," but it does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an "Obstetrical Information Management System" that records, stores, and displays data from fetal and maternal monitors, and manages patient information. It serves as a "decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record." While it organizes clinical data and supports decision-making, it does not explicitly state that it performs a diagnostic function or provides a diagnosis. Its primary role appears to be data management and information organization.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of software in addition to hardware components such as an IBM RISC System/6000, redundant disk drives, X-terminal graphics workstation, optical disk drive, and laser printer.

Based on the provided information, the WatchChild™ System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • WatchChild's Function: The WatchChild™ System is described as an Obstetrical Information Management System. Its primary function is to record, store, and display data from fetal monitors and maternal vital signs monitors. It also manages patient information and serves as a decision support tool and electronic medical record.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the system analyzing any biological samples from the patient. It interfaces with monitoring equipment that collects physiological data directly from the patient.

Therefore, the WatchChild™ System falls under the category of a medical device that manages and displays patient data, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device that analyzes biological samples.

Dear Ms. Goldfinger:

We have reviewed your Section 510/k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Fectiver on , Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510/k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), piease contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
