I. Fetal Surveillance
A Corometrics 250 Series Maternal/Fetal Monitoring System is used for non-invasive and invasive monitoring of the fetus during the antepartum period as well as throughout labor and delivery (i.e. fetal heart rate and uterine activity monitoring). Fetal movement detection and fetal heart rate alarm options (user selectable high/low and poor signal quality alarms) are available.
II.Maternal Monitoring
A Corometrics 250 Series Maternal/Fetal Monitoring System is intended for monitoring maternal vital signs to help assess maternal well-being. The vital signs which can be measured with these monitor configurations are summarized as follows:
NOTE: Maternal vital signs provided by the monitor should only be used as an adjunct in patient assessment in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
Blood Pressure: The monitor is intended for use in the non-invasive monitoring of maternal blood pressure (NBP). This monitor is not intended for use in the neonatal or pediatric blood pressure monitoring.
Pulse Oximetry. The monitor is intended for use in the non-invasive monitoring of maternal functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (MSpO2).
Heart/Pulse Rate. The monitor is intended for use in the non-invasive monitoring of the maternal heart/pulse rate. Additionally, an MECG waveform 'snapshot" may be displayed and printed.
NOTE: Only the maximum configuration provides both maternal heart rate and pulse rate data.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
