## Indications for Use

The Sonicaid System 8002 is for use in pregnancies from 32 weeks gestations owards. It can be used on women who are experiencing Braxton-Hicks contractions but is not suitable for use in established labour as the fetus is then exposed to additional factors such as labour contractions, pharmacological agents, epidural anaesthesia, and the possibility of fetal infection secondary to ruptured membranes. Typical indications for use include the following: - previous questionable fetal heart rate recordings or poor obstetric history - abnormal umbilical blood flow velocity waveforms - suspected fetal anomalies - suspicion of maternal intoxication or assault - intrauterine growth retardation - antepartum haemorrhage - uterine pain - reduced fetal movements - hypertension or pre-eclampsia - reduced amniotic fluid volume The Sonicaid System 8002 is used as an adjunct to and is not intended to replace or substitute the clinical assessment of amniotic fluid amount, Doppler evaluations, and/or biophysical profile.

## Device Story

Software accessory for computerized analysis of antepartum cardiotocograms (CTGs); processes fetal heart rate data to determine if CTG meets criteria indicative of normal status; used in clinical settings by healthcare providers; provides automated analysis as adjunct to standard clinical assessments (e.g., biophysical profile, Doppler); assists clinicians in identifying normal fetal heart rate patterns; does not replace clinical judgment.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical validation studies performed to support the use of specific criteria in the determination of a normal CTG. Software verification studies conducted in-house.

## Technological Characteristics

Software accessory for computerized analysis of antepartum CTGs. Operates on fetal heart rate data. Intended for use in pregnancies 32 weeks gestation and greater.

## 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.
