## Indications for Use

Cerner FetaLink is a software application intended for use in both hospital and clinic settings by obstetrical healthcare professionals providing care to pregnant women in the antepartum and/or intrapartum phases of pregnancy. Cerner FetaLink can be used at the bedside, the central nursing station, or at remote locations to help the clinician monitor the labor of patients by displaying data sent from fetal monitoring devices, providing a graphical display of the relationship between uterine contractions and fetal heart rate, and alerting the clinician to out-of-reference-range data trends.

## Device Story

Cerner FetaLink is a software application for obstetrical monitoring. It receives fetal heart rate and uterine contraction data from fetal monitoring devices. The software displays this data graphically, allowing clinicians to visualize the relationship between contractions and fetal heart rate. It provides alerts for data trends falling outside of pre-defined reference ranges. Used in hospitals and clinics at the bedside, central nursing stations, or remote locations by obstetrical healthcare professionals. The output assists clinicians in monitoring labor progress and making clinical decisions regarding patient care.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use.

## Technological Characteristics

Software application for perinatal monitoring. Functions as a display and alerting system for fetal heart rate and uterine contraction data. Operates via integration with existing fetal monitoring hardware. Connectivity includes bedside, central station, and remote access.

## Regulatory 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.
