(PharmaNewsWire.Com, June 04, 2021 ) The coronavirus pandemic has compelled regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, to ease their regulatory norms for fetal monitors to support the uninterrupted care regime of expectant mothers. Relaxations in rules have paved the way for several key players to smoothly launch fetal monitors equipped with tele-ultrasound monitoring, noninvasive features, and portable technologies. For instance, the FDA released its updated April 2020 FDA guidance amid the pandemic, under which Philips successfully launched its fetal monitor, Avalon CL, in the US on June 12, 2020. The FDA’s enforcement policy for noninvasive fetal and maternal monitoring devices aims to increase access to devices that could reduce the need for in-clinic visits and reduce the burden on doctor’s offices and hospitals during the pandemic.
