The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on data collection, conversion, and basic processing/display, with no mention of advanced analytical capabilities typically associated with AI/ML.
No
The device is described as monitoring and recording lung sounds and aiding in diagnosis, not providing therapy.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that the device is "not intended to be used as a diagnostic instrument," even though it "may aid in diagnosis."
No
The device description explicitly lists three primary hardware components: electronic stethoscopes, a Digital Collection Module (DCM), and a mobile computer workstation. This indicates it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the VR Lung Electrosonograph is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The VR Lung Electrosonograph collects lung sounds via dermal contact with the human thorax. This is a non-invasive method that does not involve the analysis of bodily fluids, tissues, or other specimens.
- The intended use is monitoring and recording lung sounds. While the device "may aid in diagnosis," it explicitly states it is "not intended to be used as a diagnostic instrument." IVD devices are typically intended for diagnostic purposes.
- The device description focuses on collecting and processing physical sounds. It involves electronic stethoscopes, a digital collection module, and a computer workstation to handle audio data. This is consistent with a device that analyzes physical signals rather than biological or chemical properties of specimens.
Therefore, the VR Lung Electrosonograph falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The VR Lung Electrosonograph is intended for use in monitoring and recording lung sounds. The VR Lung Electrosonograph is a non-invasive device consisting of three primary components: 1) Electronic stethoscopes designed to collect lung sounds via dermal contact with the human thorax; 2) a Digital Collection Module ("DCM") for the conversion of analog data to digital data; and 3) a mobile computer workstation to assist in processing, displaying, and/or storing recorded information. The VR Lung Electrosonograph is intended to be used by trained healthcare practitioners, and has been designed to accommodate most clinic, treatment center, or hospital settings. While the VR Lung Electrosonograph may aid in diagnosis, the device is not intended to be used as a diagnostic instrument.

Comparison to Predicate Device:
Deep Breeze's VR Lung Electrosonograph is substantially equivalent to the Meditron Stethoscope System, manufactured by Meditron AS. Furthermore, the VR Lung Electrosonograph is similar in its technological characteristics to the STG Monitor Multichannel Lung Sound Analyzer by Stethographics, Inc. The VR Lung Electrosonograph is a non-invasive device that has the same basic
2
intended use and technological characteristics (i.e., design, materials, energy source) as the cited predicates.
Conclusion:
The VR Lung Electrosonograph falls within the same generic types of devices as defined by 21 CFR §870.1875 and 21 CFR § 868.1900. That is, the VR Lung Electrosonograph and the predicates do not differ significantly in purpose, design, materials, energy source, function, or any other feature related to safety and effectiveness. The VR Lung Electrosonograph is also similar in technology, in the use of a visual display of sounds, as the STG Monitor Multichannel Lung Sound Analysis System. Furthermore, the regulatory controls applicable to the predicate devices are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the VR Lung Electrosonograph.

Dear Mr. Phillips:
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
