MindChild Medical, Inc. Announces Gates Funded UNC LABOR Study Enrolls 6,000th Subject Recorded with Meridian™ Fetal ECG Research Device

The Meridian Fetal Research Device Accurately Extracts Fetal ECG to Enable Analytics on Fetal ECG

Morphology, Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability and Uterine Activity Using Surface Electrodes

(North Andover, Massachusetts), Mindchild Medical, Inc. announced that the LABOR study recorded its 6,000th subject with MindChild’s Meridian Fetal Research Device. Jay Ward, MindChild Medical’s Executive Vice President stated that “the data shows amazing performance of the Meridian Fetal monitoring technology, producing accurate fetal ECG output under extremely challenging conditions. Excessive maternal movement during the second stage of labor, no pain management coupled with no air conditioning, along with poor electrical power and grounding of these sites, all conspire to make fetal ECG extraction challenging. However, all the sites continue to produce fetal ECG output greater than 85% of the recording time, which is outstanding.”

Total Meridian recording time and data produced from the 6,000 subjects are 17,970 hours and 4,554 gigabytes respectively.
