A company paid a product development firm to come up with an improved version of their prenatal monitor. After spending a considerable sum, the product development company failed in their attempt to come up with a satisfactory solution.
Global Product Development Group assembled a project team having expertise in RF Doppler design,
DSP software design and mechanical design. The team came up with significant performance improvements over the existing product and provided assistance with agency testing and FDA 510(k) submission.
Since analog technology is ineffective in filtering out fetal life signs from that of mother, this prenatal monitor utilizes a low-cost digital signal processing (DSP) chip used to develop device that captured desired results.
