Intended Use
The 3M™ Littmann® Scope to-Scope Software System is intended to provide and control the real time data transfer of body sounds between two 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscopes, Model 3200 over a data network. It can be used on any person undergoing a physical assessment.
Device Description
The 3M™ Littmann® Scope-to-Scope Software System consists of software on a CD working with two 3M Littmann® Model 3200 Electronic Stethoscopes (cleared under K083903), such that when the software program is installed onto a PC, the software provides and controls real time data transfer of body sounds between two 3M Littmann® Model 3200 Electronic Stethoscopes over a data network. The sound captured by the stethoscope at the Patient site can be heard equivalently at both the Patient and Consulting sites through the Model 3200 headsets. The Scope to Scope Software System can be used on any person underqoing a physical assessment. thereby enabling health care professionals in remote clinics to obtain a second opinion from clinicians in a different location. Both sites' Model 3200 electronic stethoscopes are connected to Microsoft Windowsbased PC's via a Bluetooth wireless link. The two PC's are then connected to each other over a TCP/IP data network. The software allows for the Consulting site to control the Patient site's filter settings remotely when connected. The software also provides for the ability to facilitate verbal communication usinq the stethoscope's 'talk-through' feature that utilizes an expanded frequency range to better capture voice audio. This allows the Consultant to provide verbal cues and/or directions to the Patient site.
More Information

No
The description focuses on real-time data transfer and remote control of stethoscope settings, with no mention of algorithms for analysis, interpretation, or learning from the data.

No.
The device facilitates the transfer of body sounds for diagnostic purposes (second opinions, physical assessment), not for treating any condition.

No

The device description indicates that the system is used for real-time data transfer of body sounds and facilitates communication between healthcare professionals for a second opinion, but it does not state that it analyzes or interprets these sounds to provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system "consists of software on a CD working with two 3M Littmann® Model 3200 Electronic Stethoscopes". While the software is a key component, the system requires and integrates with specific hardware (the stethoscopes) to function as intended.

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 used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The 3M™ Littmann® Scope-to-Scope Software System is designed to transfer real-time body sounds (like heart and lung sounds) between two stethoscopes. It facilitates remote physical assessment and consultation.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the patient. It deals with auditory data directly from the body.

Therefore, its function falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 870.2910 Radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver.

(a)
Identification. A radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver is a device used to condition a physiological signal so that it can be transmitted via radiofrequency from one location to another, e.g., a central monitoring station. The received signal is reconditioned by the device into its original format so that it can be displayed.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
