(UA)

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MindChild Medical, Inc. Announces Receipt of Certificate of
Registration by BSI Group America Inc., Under the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) 13485:2003 for the Design,
Development and Manufacturing of the MERIDIAN™ Line of Non‐Invasive
Fetal Monitors

MindChild Medical, Inc. today announced that it has received ISO
13485:2003 certification for the design, development and manufacturing
of its MERIDIAN family of non-invasive Fetal Monitors1,2,3,4.
ISO 13485:2003 certification precedes European pre-marketing submission
of a Technical File submission5, enabling European
commercialization of the MERIDAN family of Fetal Monitors. MindChild
previously announced 510(k) pre-marketing clearance of the MERIDIAN M100
Fetal Monitor. MindChild anticipates entering the US market with the
MERIDIAN family of Fetal Monitor products following the FDA
pre‐marketing clearance of the current 510(k) notification. Additional
pre‐market regulatory filings are anticipated during 2016.

The MindChild Medical Meridian M110 Fetal Monitor is an intrapartum
fetal monitor that non-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate
(FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR), and uterine contractions (UA). The
MindChild Meridian acquires and displays the FHR, MHR and UA from
abdominal surface electrodes that detect the fetal ECG signals, maternal
ECG signals, and of uterine muscle contraction signals. Tracings of FHR
and UA are displayed onto a primary fetal monitor.

The MindChild Meridian M110 is indicated for use on women who are at >
36 completed weeks, in labor, with singleton pregnancies, using surface
electrodes on the maternal abdomen. The MindChild Meridian is intended
for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.

The Meridian M100 and M110 Fetal Heart Monitors6 are intended
to be compatible with qualified fetal monitoring systems, facilitating
rapid adoption by clinicians where MERIDIAN is commercially available.
The Meridian M110 and M100 Fetal Heart Monitors are designed for women
who are at > 36 completed weeks, in labor, with singleton pregnancies,
using surface electrodes on the maternal abdomen.

About the MERIDIAN M110 and M100 Non‐Invasive Fetal Heart Rate Monitor

The MindChild Medical Meridian M110 Fetal Heart Rate Monitor is
an intrapartum fetal monitor that non-invasively measures and displays
fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR), and uterine
contractions (UA). The MindChild Meridian acquires and displays the FHR,
MHR and UA from abdominal surface electrodes that detect the fetal ECG
signals, maternal ECG signals, and of uterine muscle contraction
signals. Tracings of FHR and UA are displayed onto a primary fetal
monitor. The MindChild Medical Meridian M110 Fetal Heart Rate Monitor is
an intrapartum fetal monitor that externally measures and displays fetal
heart rate (FHR). The MindChild Meridian M100 acquires and
displays the FHR tracing from abdominal surface electrodes that detect
the fetal ECG signal (fECG). FHR tracings are displayed onto a primary
fetal monitor. In addition, the M100 synchronizes the TOCO transducer
signal which is also displayed to the primary fetal monitor. MERIDIAN
M100 is designed for women who are at term (> 36 completed weeks), in
labor, with singleton pregnancies, using surface electrodes on the
maternal abdomen. MERIDIAN is intended for use by healthcare
professionals in a clinical setting.

About the Fetal Heart Monitoring Market

Over 85%7 of the 4,000,0008 live births occurring
in the US during 2011 required fetal monitoring during labor and
delivery. Current non‐invasive Doppler, employing ultrasound to detect
FHR is subject to loss of fetal heart rate due to maternal/fetal movement9.
Fetal Scalp Electrodes (FSE) that connect directly to the fetus during
the later stages of labor and delivery are associated with increased
risk of maternal/fetal infection10. There are an estimated
28,000 fetal monitors spread over 3,400 hospitals in the US11,
representing an investment of over $700,000,00012. MERIDIAN
has been developed to provide uninterruptible fECG data while addressing
the deficiencies in both Doppler and FSE via innovative non‐invasive
monitoring technology.
