Study to Support Fetal Heart Rate and Uterine Contraction for Preterm Labor in Singleton and Multiple Pregnancies

Clinical Investigation for a non-inferiority/equivalence study that aims to determine the
acceptable performance of the Monica AN24 during the first and when possible the second
stages of labor by determining whether the Monica AN24 fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine
contractions (UC) monitoring device is non-inferior/equivalent to Doppler FHR and
tocodynamometer UC using direct fetal scalp electrode (FSE) FHR and intrauterine pressure
catheter (IUPC) UC as a reference, either collected simultaneously with the Monica and
Doppler FHR/tocodynamometer UC data, or from previous studies to define the expected
accuracy and success rate when comparing Monica FHR and UC with Doppler FHR and
tocodynamometer UC respectively

Inclusion Criteria:

- She is >=24weeks 0days but less than 36 completed weeks, with a singleton pregnancy
or >=34weeks 0days with a multiple pregnancy and has been admitted to the Labor and
Delivery Unit

- She is in the latent phase of spontaneous labor, or has been admitted for induction
of labor

- She has given her informed consent to participate as a subject

- She has none of the exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

- Known major fetal malformation or chromosome abnormality

- Involvement in another clinical trial currently or previously in this pregnancy

- Medical or obstetric problem that would preclude the use of abdominal electrodes
(e.g., skin eruptions, sensitivity to adhesives)

- Significant medical or obstetric problem that in the investigator's opinion would
make the woman incapable of taking part in the study
