Corometrics defines “gross fetal body movement” as the extension, flexion, or rolling over of the fetal trunk about the longitudinal axis of the body and associated limb movements.” Movement of the extremities alone may not be detected. Fetal eye movements will not be detected. ## Device Story Modular hardware/software kit for installation in Corometrics Fetal Monitor; utilizes pulse Doppler ultrasound to detect gross fetal body movements (trunk extension, flexion, rolling) and associated limb movements; excludes isolated extremity or eye movements. System processes Doppler signals to identify movement events; outputs duration of events as horizontal bars on fetal monitor recorder strip chart along heart rate time axis. Used in clinical obstetric settings by physicians/nurses to monitor fetal activity; provides objective documentation of fetal movement to assist in clinical assessment of fetal well-being. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing and clinical evaluations performed; verified equivalent performance to the Hewlett-Packard Fetal Movement Profile (FMP) predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Modular hardware/software kit; pulse Doppler ultrasound sensing; integrates with existing Corometrics Fetal Monitor; output via strip chart recorder; no specific material standards or software architecture details provided. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Hewlett-Packard Fetal Movement Profile (FMP) Option in the M1350A Fetal Monitor ([K900480](/device/K900480.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The FMD Kit provides the ability to automatically detect fetal movement via pulse Doppler ultrasound and to display the duration of such events on the fetal monitor’s recorder strip chart as horizontal bars along the time scale (time axis) of the heart rate scale. The Corometrics Fetal Movement Detection (FMD) Kit is intended to detect gross fetal body movements and fetal body movements with associated limb movement. Corometrics defines “gross fetal body movement” as the extension, flexion, or rolling over of the fetal trunk about the longitudinal axis of the body and associated limb movements.” Movement of the extremities alone may not be detected. Fetal eye movements will not be detected.
