Device Story

BirthNet™ II is a real-time perinatal patient data management system; collects physiological data (fetal heart rate, uterine activity) from AMS fetal monitors and other physiological monitors; integrates manual clinician-entered data (medicinal administrations, physiological conditions). System operates via hospital-based workstations; allows remote access for authorized caregivers. Outputs include real-time displays, printed reports, archived records on optical disks, and statistical reports for quality assurance. Facilitates clinical decision-making by centralizing patient data for review and annotation; enables efficient monitoring of multiple patients. Benefits include improved data management, streamlined charting, and support for birth certificate generation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The system underwent extensive safety and performance testing, including comprehensive validation of system requirements and compliance with applicable industry and safety standards.

Technological Characteristics

System consists of interface modules with surface-mounted printed circuit boards and software. Interfaces with AMS fetal monitors and third-party physiological monitors. Data storage via optical disks. Connectivity includes hospital-based workstations and remote access. Software is validated and functionally tested.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in pregnancy, delivery, and early neonatal care to capture, display, and manage physiological obstetrical and fetal patient data for multiple patients simultaneously.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A perinatal monitoring system is a device used to show graphically the relationship between maternal labor and the fetal heart rate by means of combining and coordinating uterine contraction and fetal heart monitors with appropriate displays of the well-being of the fetus during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. This generic type of device may include any of the devices subject to §§ 884.2600, 884.2640, 884.2660, 884.2675, 884.2700, and 884.2720. This generic type of device may include the following accessories: Central monitoring system and remote repeaters, signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, and component parts.

Predicate Devices

• Quantitative Sentinel Perinatal (K960109)
• Air Shield WatchChild (K893981)

2. Name of Device: BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System

Classification: The BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is classified under Perinatal Monitoring System and Accessories which has been classified as a Class II device, in accordance to 21 CFR 884.2740.

3. Predicate Devices: The AMS BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is substantial equivalent to the Quantitative Sentinel Perinatal, as described in K960109; and the Air Shield WatchChild as described in K893981.

4. The BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is a comprehensive online, real-time information system to collect, display, and store physiological (e.g. fetal heart rate and uterine activity) data and other pertinent patient medical information. Designed specifically for pregnancy, delivery, and early neonatal care, medical personnel can review the status and management of each patient form any hospital based workstation. The primary function of the BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is to automatically receive and record physiological monitoring data, and correlate this data with health care practitioner supplied data such as medicinal administrations, and recognized physical and physiological conditions.

The BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is also designed to interface with all AMS fetal monitors and most all fetal and maternal physiological monitors presently available. Patient information can be archived onto optical disks for long-term storage. Aggregate statistical reports can also be generated.

5. The BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is designed for use to capture, display, and manage physiological obstetrical and fetal patient data. It is intended to permit the real-time monitoring of multiple obstetrical and fetal patients simultaneously, and to correlate non-monitored patient data with monitored physiological parameters.

6. The BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System software is manufactured by conventional CD-ROM replication from an authenticated master image under configuration control. The interface modules are comprised of surface mounted printed circuit boards and manufactured in a conventional manner. The installed software is validated prior to release and functionally tested at installation using validated test software.

7. The BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System has been subject to extensive safety testing and will be subject to extensive performance testing prior to release. Final testing for the system includes a comprehensive validation of the entire system requirements. Safety tests have been performed to ensure the device complies to all applicable industry and safety standards.

In conclusion, the BirthNet™ II Perinatal Patient Data Management System is as safe and effective as the predicate devices and raises no new issues.
