It functions as an accessory to the Koala Intrauterine Pressure System. The clinician uses the syringe to prime the intrauterine pressure catheter prior to monitoring. The device facilitates the preparation of the pressure monitoring system for clinical use. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing confirmed materials are safe for the intended application. Effectiveness is equivalent to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics 10 cc syringe pre-filled with 0.9% isotonic saline. Sterile, single-use. Biocompatible materials. ## Regulatory Identification An intrauterine pressure monitor is a device designed to detect and measure intrauterine and amniotic fluid pressure with a catheter placed transcervically into the uterine cavity. The device is used to monitor intensity, duration, and frequency of uterine contractions during labor. This generic type of device may include the following accessories: signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, and component parts. ## Predicate Devices - Medex MX 4042 Series Intrauterine Pressure Catheter (pre-filled syringes) - Quest (formerly Healthdyne Cardiovascular) ISOFLO Intrauterine Pressure Monitoring & Amnio ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Name: Wm. Dean Wallace Address: 6477 So. Cottonwood St., Murray, UT 84107 Telephone: (801) 268-8200 Fax: (801) 266-7373 Proprietary Name: Common/Usual Name: Classification Name: Intrauterine Pressure Monitor and Accessories Monitor, Pressure, Intrauterine The legally marketed devices to which equivalence is claimed are the pre-filled syringes used with the Medex MX 4042 Series Intrauterine Pressure Catheter and the Quest (formerly Healthdyne Cardiovascular) ISOFLO Intrauterine Pressure Monitoring & Amnio. Description of the device: The pre-filled Syringe is 10 cc syringe filled with 0.9% isotonic saline and is an accessory to the Koala Intrauterine Pressure System used in priming the catheter. This product is a sterile, single-use device. Intended use: This accessory is used with a Koala Intrauterine Pressure System and is used in priming the catheter. The pre-filled syringe is substantially equivalent to the predicate device because: - It has the same intended uses, namely, to prime the catheter in intrauterine pressure monitoring, - It has the same basic technological characteristics as predicate devices, namely, it is a syringe pre-filled with saline, and - It uses the same or similar materials, all of which have been shown to be biocompatible and to function well in the intended application. The safety and effectiveness are similar to existing devices as demonstrated in the laboratory. Biocompatibility testing shows that the materials used in the pre-filled syringe are safe for this application. Effectiveness is the same as the predicate devices. Wm.
