OB-Tools to Start Marketing its Non-Invasive Labor Monitoring Device Following FDA Approval
OB-Tools has received FDA approval for its fetal heart rate monitoring unit, which will be integrated into its TrueLabor[TM] maternal fetal monitor. The monitor is non-invasive and uses electrodes attached to the abdomen to measure uterine contractions and fetal heart beats. The devices algorithm filters out excess noise and can distinguish between true and false contractions. Clinical trials have found the technology to be more reliable than external fetal monitors and as accurate as invasive monitors. The TrueLabor[TM] system is expected to begin sales in the US in Q4 2015 and in Europe in Q1 2016.
