Study Details:
The provided text from the 510(k) summary does not describe a clinical study with human subjects, a test set, expert readers, or ground truth establishment in the manner typically associated with AI/ML device evaluations. This submission is for a traditional medical device (Fetal Doppler) where substantial equivalence is demonstrated through engineering and performance testing against standards, and comparison to a predicate device.
Therefore, the following points are not applicable or not detailed in this specific 510(k) summary, as it's not a submission for an AI/ML-based device:
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of a clinical test set for AI/ML. The performance testing was likely conducted in a lab environment using appropriate phantoms, simulators, or controlled setups as per the referenced standards (e.g., IEC 60601-2-37 for ultrasonic medical diagnostic equipment).
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a Fetal Doppler's accuracy would be established through calibrated instruments or reference measurements, not expert consensus on images.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
- If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No, this is not an MRMC study. The device is a diagnostic tool, not an AI assistance system for human readers.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The device is a "standalone" hardware device, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated intrinsically.
- The type of ground truth used: For FHR accuracy, the ground truth would be precise, known heart rate simulations from equipment or calibrated reference measurements. For biocompatibility, it's lab test results comparing to established biological responses. For electrical safety, it's compliance with specified measurement limits.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device.
In summary, for this Fetal Doppler (K211940), substantial equivalence was demonstrated primarily through:
- Comparison to a predicate device (K182526) showing sameness in intended use, design, mode of action, and core FHR specifications.
- Non-clinical performance testing against recognized international and national standards for biocompatibility (ISO 10993), electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601 series), battery safety (IEC 62133), software verification (FDA guidance), use-life, FHR accuracy (IEC 60601-2-37), and acoustic output (NEMA UD 2 and FDA guidance).
The documentation asserts that any differences in technological characteristics (like acoustic output) do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, thus supporting the substantial equivalence determination.

Fetal Doppler
The iCareNewlife Fetal Doppler is indicated for monitoring fetal heart rate during the antepartum period as a general indication of fetal well-being. The device is for heart sounds through the speaker only. The device is intended to be used by health care professionals including registered nurses, midwives, ultrasound technicians, and physician assistants, by prescription from licensed physicians in hospitals, clinics and private offices.
The device is a hand-held ultrasonic fetal heart beat detector, which can detect the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR). The built-in speaker of the device allows for listening of the fetal heartbeat. The device is generally applied to above 16 weeks gestation.
Ultrasonic wave is transmitted from one piezoelectric ceramic at the front of the uterus of the pregnant women. Echo is received by the other piezoelectric ceramic at the front of the probe when ultrasonic wave reaches the fetal heart. Then it is converted into voltage. This Doppler signal is detected and demodulated from the received signal. And the Doppler frequency is consistent with the rhythm of the fetal systole and diastole. Once cardiac valves vibrate and a Doppler frequency excursion is formed. lt is transmitted an output signal of cardiac valves vibrating, and it is sent to the loudspeaker for getting a rhythmical sound with the fetal heartbeat.
The device is powered by a 9V alkaline battery.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The document does not provide details on a specific clinical test set sample size or its provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The "Performance Data" section primarily describes bench testing, biocompatibility testing, electrical safety, and EMC testing. The comparison to the predicate device is a theoretical assessment based on specifications.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided in the document. Since there is no described clinical test set, there's no mention of experts establishing ground truth for such a set.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided in the document, as a clinical test set with an adjudication method is not described.
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 document describes a Fetal Doppler, which is a device for detecting fetal heart rate through sound. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging system that would involve human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance is not applicable and was not done.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
The iCareNewlife Fetal Doppler is a standalone device in the sense that it directly outputs fetal heart sounds via a speaker, and heart rate measurements (if displayed). It doesn't appear to be an "algorithm only" device that relies on a separate human interpretive step for its primary function of detecting the FHR. The "Performance Data" section details the device's technical specifications and compliance with safety and performance standards for its direct operation.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the technical performance characteristics (e.g., FHR measuring range, accuracy, acoustic output), the "ground truth" would have been established through calibrated measurement instruments and standardized testing procedures during bench testing. For biocompatibility, electrical safety, and EMC, compliance was determined against recognized international standards (ISO 10993, IEC 60601 series). There is no mention of clinical ground truth (e.g., expert consensus on observed fetal heart rates, pathology, or outcomes data) for a clinical performance study.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not provided in the document. The device does not appear to involve machine learning or AI algorithms that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "Performance Data" describes traditional engineering and safety testing.

However, the information regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria is extremely limited. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical bench tests and compliance with recognized standards.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, highlighting what is present and what is missing based on your questions:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Safety & Electrical Performance | Compliance with IEC 60601-1 (General Requirements for Safety) | Bench tests demonstrated compliance. |
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) | Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 (Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility) | Bench tests demonstrated compliance. |

Biocompatibility (Irritation & Delayed Hypersensitivity) | Compliance with ISO 10993-10 (Test for irritation and delay-type hypersensitivity) | Bench tests demonstrated compliance. |
Intended Use Achievement | "detecting fetal heart beats" (as per the intended use statement) | The non-clinical tests collectively aimed to verify the device's ability to perform its intended function safely and effectively, implying it can detect fetal heartbeats. |
Missing Information:
- Specific quantitative performance metrics: The document mentions compliance with standards but doesn't provide specific numerical thresholds or the device's measured performance against those thresholds (e.g., specific accuracy levels for heart rate detection, signal-to-noise ratios, etc.). It only states that the device "met all design specifications" and "complies with the following standards."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The submission refers to "Bench tests," which implies testing of devices in a lab setting, but doesn't quantify the number of devices or measurements taken.
- Data Provenance: The tests are described as "Bench tests," which means they were conducted in a controlled environment, likely by the manufacturer (Beijing Choice Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.) given the context of a 510(k) submission. No information on country of origin for specific test data is provided beyond the manufacturer's location (Beijing, China), and the tests are inherently "retrospective" as they are performed on the manufactured device models for regulatory submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not applicable. This submission focuses on non-clinical engineering and biocompatibility tests. There is no mention of a clinical study, human observers, or experts establishing ground truth for fetal heartbeat detection in a direct patient setting for this 510(k). The "ground truth" for these non-clinical tests would be the established scientific and engineering principles outlined in the referenced standards.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not applicable. As there's no mention of a human-involved "test set" and ground truth establishment, there is no adjudication method described.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No. An MRMC study or AI assistance is not mentioned or relevant for this submission of a basic Fetal Doppler device. This device is a direct measurement tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic system requiring human interpretation comparison.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not explicitly stated in these terms, but conceptually, yes in its most basic form. The device itself is "standalone" in that it detects fetal heartbeats directly. There is no "algorithm only" performance reported in the context of advanced signal processing or AI. The performance of the device in detecting heartbeats without human interpretation of raw signals is what the IEC 61266 standard compliance would address.
7. The type of ground truth used
- For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is defined by:
- Engineering specifications and recognized international standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 61266, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10. These standards establish the acceptable performance thresholds and methodologies.
- Comparison to a predicate device: The submission states that the proposed device was verified to be "Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device" through bench tests, implying the predicate device's performance (which was already cleared by the FDA) served as a benchmark for equivalence.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning product and therefore does not have a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" for such a device would be its design and manufacturing process according to engineering principles.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth establishment for it.
