Intended Use

The RNK Telephonic Stethoscope Model TR-1 is intended for use to transmit auscultation sounds, whereby a clinician at one location can listen to the auscultation sounds of a patient at a different location with the signal carried over a data communications channel between the two locations.

Device Description

The RNK Telephonic Stethoscope Model TR-1 consists of a Chest Piece Assembly, a standard audio Headset, a wall-mount power adapter and an electronics Module containing amplifiers, filters, CODEC, UART and RS232 interface. The power adapter, Chest Piece Assembly and Headset are detachable and can plug into the electonics Module. The electronics Module is capable of operating as a transmitting unit sending digitized auscultation signals from the attached Chest Piece, or as a receiving unit accepting the digitized auscultation signals. converting them to analog audio and presenting them to the attached Headset.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the RNK Telephonic Stethoscope TR-1. It describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, it does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets such criteria.

The 510(k) pathway for medical devices in the US (and similar regulatory pathways elsewhere) primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria in the same way one might for a novel device with a PMA (Premarket Approval) submission.

Therefore, the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided document because it is not present. The document focuses on establishing equivalence and not on reporting specific performance study results for acceptance criteria.

Response regarding the absence of information:

The provided 510(k) summary for the RNK Telephonic Stethoscope TR-1 does not contain information on specific acceptance criteria or an associated study proving the device meets those criteria. The 510(k) submission process relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and the document focuses on this aspect rather than presenting detailed performance study results against pre-defined acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or answer the specific questions about sample sizes, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details, as this information is not included in the provided text.

§ 870.1875 Stethoscope.
