What is it indicated for?

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.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
