### PREDICATE DEVICE
The device to which Hill-Rom is claiming substantial equivalence is The WatchChild™ System Obstetrical Patient Data Management System cleared for marketing by FDA in 510(k) K014094 on January 11, 2002.
## DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE
The WatchChild™ Obstetrical Patient Data Management System (The WatchChild™ System) is a complete Obstetrical Information Management System that has the capability to record, store, and display fetal and maternal data from initial fetal stress tests through labor, delivery and discharge. Specifically, data from fetal monitoring and maternal vital signs monitoring equipment can be recorded, stored, and displayed on The WatchChild™ System via automation of the following areas:
- Admission/Discharge/Transfer (ADT) .
- Labor and Delivery notes .
- Nursing notes ●
{1}------------------------------------------------
Appendix 14a
- . Physician's notes
- Fetal Strip faxing .
- Obstetrical statistical trend reports, e.g., patient enrollments and discharges over ● time
The WatchChild™ System has the ability to simultaneously display graphic and text data on the same screen permitting the clinician to view a patient's fetal strip along with her medical data. Interaction with The WatchChild™ System is accomplished through a graphical user interface (GUI). The user activates buttons on the screen utilizing either a light pen or a mouse. The WatchChild™ System is offered with an optional optical disk archiving system (WORM technology) that replaces conventional paper storage. In addition, an optional physician's remote access is also available. Using a personal computer, a physician can call from outside the hospital and display real time and/or trended data for any patient connected to the system, as well as perform annotations to the patient's fetal strip.
The WatchChild™ System can be installed as a stand-alone system or connected to the Hospital's Information System.
### INTENDED USE
The intended use of The WatchChild™ Obstetrical Patient Data Management System is a complete Obstetrical Information 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. The WatchChild™ System 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.
Consistent with 21 CFR §801.109 The WatchChild™ System is considered a prescription use device.
### COMPARISON OF DEVICE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS TO PREDICATE DEVICE
The WatchChild™ System that is subject of this submission is equivalent to the predicate device indicated above. The system has the same capabilities to record, display, and archive data collected from fetal and maternal monitors, nurse's and doctor's notes and annotations.
### NONCLINICAL TESTING
Testing was conducted to verify and validate the software.
