More Information

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on hardware and basic software functions like recording, audio reproduction, graphic display, and automated identification, without mentioning any learning or adaptive capabilities.

No.
The device is intended for the recording, reproduction, display, and identification of lung sounds, which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for "automated identification of lung sounds," which implies it is used to identify conditions or characteristics of the lungs, fitting the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a chest pad with electronic stethoscopes, back pad, pre-amplifier, connection hub, PC computer, printer, cart, speakers, and headphones.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes. This typically involves analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
  • Device Function: The Stethographics STG Multichannel Lung Sound Analysis system records, reproduces, displays, and identifies lung sounds. This is a non-invasive process that involves listening to sounds produced by the body, not analyzing biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is focused on the analysis of lung sounds, which are physiological signals, not the analysis of in vitro samples.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a non-invasive diagnostic device that analyzes physiological signals, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
