## In plain language

A wireless pod and patch of electrodes stuck to the mother's abdomen that shows the baby's heart rate, the mother's heart rate and contractions without belts. FDA cleared the first version in 2014 for women in labour at more than 36 completed weeks with a single baby, and cleared Novii+ in 2023 for use before and during labour in women with a single baby at 34 weeks and 0/7 days or later, in a clinical setting. Both are described as for healthcare professionals in a clinical setting; the FDA text does not mention use at home.

## Technical summary

Two 510(k) clearances (substantial equivalence, not approval): K140862 (Monica Novii Wireless Patch System, Monica Healthcare, decision 2014-08-27, intrapartum, more than 36 completed weeks, singleton) and K231964 (Novii+ Wireless Patch System, Datex Ohmeda, decision 2023-12-08, antepartum and intrapartum, 34 weeks and 0/7 days and greater, singleton). K231964 names K140862 as its predicate. The product code differs between FDA's K140862 letter (HGM) and the openFDA record (OSP); both are shown on the decision. Clinical data summarised by FDA: 31 patients in labour (K140862) and 30 subjects at 34+0 to 36+6 weeks (K231964).

## Claims, with the population each applies to

## Context: Women in labour with a singleton pregnancy at more than 36 completed weeks, monitored by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting (US labelling of K140862)

Recipient: Mixed recipients; Population: Pregnant women in labour, with singleton pregnancies at more than 36 completed weeks, wearing abdominal surface electrodes. The device shows the fetal heart rate (fetus), uterine activity and the maternal heart rate (mother).; Care setting: Clinical setting, used by healthcare professionals; Geography: United States (FDA labelling); Life stage: Labour, singleton pregnancy at more than 36 completed weeks (the FDA text says &gt;36 completed weeks; whether 36 weeks 0 days counts is not stated); Gestational age: Not reported; Postnatal age: Not reported; Follow-up: Not applicable; this is the cleared indication for use

### FDA cleared the Monica Novii Wireless Patch System (Monica Healthcare Ltd) under 510(k) K140862 on 2014-08-27. The cleared use is as an intrapartum maternal-fetal monitor that non-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate, uterine activity and maternal heart rate from abdominal surface electrodes, on women at more than 36 completed weeks, in labour, with singleton pregnancies, used by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. The indication names intrapartum use in a clinical setting; it does not name antepartum use or use at home.

- Category: Regulatory
- Evidence stage: Evidence stage not applicable
- Certainty: Certainty not assessed
- Applies to: Recipient: Mixed recipients; Population: Pregnant women in labour, with singleton pregnancies at more than 36 completed weeks, wearing abdominal surface electrodes. The device shows the fetal heart rate (fetus), uterine activity and the maternal heart rate (mother).; Care setting: Clinical setting, used by healthcare professionals; Geography: United States (FDA labelling); Life stage: Labour, singleton pregnancy at more than 36 completed weeks (the FDA text says &gt;36 completed weeks; whether 36 weeks 0 days counts is not stated); Gestational age: Not reported; Postnatal age: Not reported; Follow-up: Not applicable; this is the cleared indication for use
- Limitations: Clearance means FDA found the device substantially equivalent to earlier devices; it is not an approval and not a recommendation to use the device for any one woman. The sources disagree on the product code: FDA's clearance letter gives HGM (21 CFR 884.2740, class II), while the openFDA record gives OSP (21 CFR 884.2720). Both are shown and are not reconciled here; the decision records the letter's code. The 510(k) summary describes a comparison with the predicate monitor in 31 patients in labour; this record gives no accuracy numbers. Only the clearance letter, the indications, the 510(k) summary sections cited here and the openFDA record were read.

## Context: Women at 34 weeks 0 days or later with a singleton pregnancy, antepartum or intrapartum, monitored in a clinical setting (US labelling of K231964)

Recipient: Mixed recipients; Population: Pregnant women at 34 weeks and 0/7 days and greater with singleton pregnancies, wearing abdominal surface electrodes. The device shows the fetal heart rate (fetus), uterine activity and the maternal heart rate (mother).; Care setting: Clinical setting, used by healthcare professionals; Geography: United States (FDA labelling); Life stage: Antepartum and intrapartum, from 34 weeks 0 days of gestation; Gestational age: at least 34 weeks 0 days (238 days), measured at the time of measurement; Postnatal age: Not reported; Follow-up: Not applicable; this is the cleared indication for use

### FDA cleared the Novii+ Wireless Patch System (Datex Ohmeda) under 510(k) K231964 on 2023-12-08. The cleared use is as an antepartum and intrapartum maternal/fetal monitor that non-invasively measures fetal heart rate, uterine activity and maternal heart rate from abdominal surface electrodes, on women at 34 weeks and 0/7 days and greater with singleton pregnancies, used by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. The 510(k) summary names the Monica Novii Wireless Patch system (K140862) as its predicate device.

- Limitations: Clearance means FDA found the device substantially equivalent to a predicate; it is not an approval. The indication names a clinical setting and healthcare professionals; it does not name use at home. The clinical study described in the summary enrolled 30 subjects between 34+0 and 36+6 weeks (see the performance claim). Only the clearance letter, the indications, the 510(k) summary sections cited here and the openFDA record were read.

## Context: Women at 34 weeks 0 days to 36 weeks 6 days, threatened preterm labour or preterm labour and delivery (Novii+ clinical study in K231964)

Recipient: Mixed recipients; Population: 30 subjects enrolled between 34 weeks + 0/7 days and 36 weeks + 6/7 days of gestation: 14 with threatened preterm labour (not in labour) and 16 with preterm labour and delivery. Compared against Doppler fetal heart rate, tocodynamometer uterine activity and pulse-oximeter maternal heart rate.; Care setting: Clinical study described in an FDA 510(k) summary; setting not described in the parts read; Geography: Not stated in the summary; Life stage: Pregnancy, 34 weeks 0 days to 36 weeks 6 days; Gestational age: 34 weeks 0 days (238 days) to 36 weeks 6 days (258 days), measured at enrolment; Postnatal age: Not reported; Follow-up: Not stated in the parts read

### The 510(k) summary for Novii+ (K231964) describes a clinical study of 30 subjects enrolled between 34 weeks + 0/7 days and 36 weeks + 6/7 days: 14 with threatened preterm labour (not in labour) and 16 with preterm labour and delivery. The mean percent agreement for fetal heart rate between Novii+ and the predicate Doppler fetal heart rate was 88.08%, with a 95% lower confidence limit of 83.45%, above the 80% threshold set to demonstrate equivalence.

The summary reports similar agreement tests for maternal heart rate and uterine activity that this record does not repeat. The study covers 34+0 to 36+6 weeks only, and 30 subjects. Percent agreement is not the same as clinical outcome benefit. Only the summary pages read were used.
