No
The summary describes a standard electronic stethoscope with amplification and frequency selection, with no mention of AI/ML features or data processing beyond basic signal amplification.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic aid" used for "amplification of heart, lung and other body sounds," which are functions related to diagnosis rather than therapy.

Yes
The Intended Use / Indications for Use section explicitly states that "The Tytan #6xy Series Electronic Stethoscope is a diagnostic aid".

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Electronic Stethoscope" and mentions features like "3 modes for selective frequency amplification & a 8-steps volume control," which are indicative of hardware components beyond just software. The reference to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards also points to a physical medical device with electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility considerations.

Based on the provided information, the Tytan #6xy Series Electronic Stethoscope 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 Tytan #6xy Series Electronic Stethoscope is used for the amplification of body sounds (heart, lung, etc.) during a physical assessment. This is a direct examination of the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "diagnostic aid and used as part of a physical assessment of a patient." This aligns with the function of a stethoscope, which is a tool for physical examination.

Therefore, the Tytan #6xy Series Electronic Stethoscope falls under the category of a medical device used for physical examination, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Reich:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
