Intended Use
Intended for use as a diagnostic aid in patient diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. It amplifies sounds from the body's internal organs, mainly the heart and lungs. Included with the system is a manual visual display of the electrocardiogram (ECG) on the PC monitor to enable the healthcare practitioner to synchronize the phonocardiogram with the beginning of the heart cycle. The ECG is not intended for diagnostic use. The system also includes computer-aided recordings and storage of these sounds along with other patient information.
Device Description
The Meditron electronic stethoscope system is intended for use as a diagnostic aid in patient diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. It amplifies, records, plays back, and transmits sounds associated with the heart, arteries, and veins and other internal organs. The modification involves the addition of a 5-lead electrocardiograph to produce an ECG on the PC monitor to enable the healthcare practitioner to synchronize the phonocardiogram with the beginning of the heart cycle.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard electronic stethoscope with an integrated ECG for synchronization, focusing on amplification, recording, and storage of sounds. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic aid" for amplifying, recording, playing back, and transmitting sounds from internal organs, and providing a visual display of the ECG for synchronization. Its intended use focuses on diagnosis, not treatment of a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "Intended for use as a diagnostic aid in patient diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring." This is further reinforced in the "Device Description."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electronic stethoscope system" and mentions hardware components like a 5-lead electrocardiograph and PC monitor, indicating it is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Meditron electronic stethoscope system amplifies and records sounds from within the body (heart, lungs, etc.). It also displays an ECG, which is a measurement of electrical activity within the body.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It directly interacts with and measures physiological signals from the patient.

Therefore, while it is a diagnostic aid, it falls under the category of a medical device that interacts directly with the patient, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device that analyzes samples outside the body.
