Fetal Monitoring

Brief summary

Bloomlife MFM-Pro is a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system used to measure fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate on pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy, starting from 32 weeks of gestation. The purpose of this study is to validate that the Bloomlife MFM-Pro is equivalent to clinical standard-of-care for fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate when performing antepartum fetal monitoring.

Detailed description

The study consisted of 2 phases: a pilot phase and a pivotal phase. The pilot phase of the study was aimed at testing the Bloomlife MFM-Pro device prior to validation in the pivotal phase of the study. The pivotal phase of the study was aimed at validating that the Bloomlife MFM-Pro is equivalent to clinical standard-of-care for fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate when performing antepartum fetal monitoring.

Interventions

Bloomlife MFM-Pro is a non-invasive, wireless, external monitoring system used to measure fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate on pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy. The system acquires biopotential signals from abdominal surface electrodes.
