The summary describes signal analysis and algorithms but does not explicitly mention AI or ML. The performance studies mention "algorithms" but provide no details about their nature. Without further information, it's impossible to confirm the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device is described as a "decision support device" intended to assist in analyzing cardiac sounds for identification and classification of murmurs, not to treat a disease or condition.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Sensi is not intended to be a diagnostic device."
No
The device description explicitly states that the complete system includes hardware components: the WelchAllyn Master Elite Stethoscope and the WelchAllyn Meditron Analyzer, in addition to the software.
Based on the provided text, the Sensi device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze specimens from the human body. The Sensi device analyzes acoustic signals of the heart and ECG signals, which are physiological signals acquired directly from the patient, not specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- The intended use explicitly states it's a "decision support device" and "not intended to be a diagnostic device." While it assists in analyzing cardiac sounds, it emphasizes that it does not supersede physician judgment and is intended to aid in evaluation, not provide a definitive diagnosis on its own.
- The input is physiological signals. The input modalities are acoustic signals and ECG signals, which are measurements of the body's function, not analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, based on the definition of an IVD and the description provided, the Sensi device falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Sensi device consisting of the Sensi Diagnostic Heart Murmur Software, the WelchAllyn Master Elite Stethoscope and WelchAllyn USB Analyzer is a decision support device intended to be used on a single patient to assist the medical examiner in analyzing cardiac sounds for the identification and classification of suspected murmurs. It is used to distinguish between normal/physiological and pathological heart murmurs by recording the acoustic signal of the heart and the ECG signal simultaneously and analyze these signals. The acoustic heart signal is analyzed to identify specific heart sounds that may be present. Identified sounds include S1, S2, and suspected systolic murmurs.
Sensi indicates whether or not a recorded heart sound contains a suspected heart murmur and the confidence with which the analysis was made The device must be used in a clinical setting by trained personnel with the prescribed accessories and all relevant patient information must be taken into consideration before a diagnosis is made.
The interpretations of heart sounds offered by the Sensi device are only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data.
Sensi is not intended to be a diagnostic device. It does not supersede the judgment of the qualified medical personnel. The device is intended to aid the physician in the evaluation of heart sounds.

Device Description
The Sensi with Diagnostic Heart Murmur Software is a decision support device intended to acquire, record, and analyze heart sounds. It is used to distinguish between normal/physiological and pathological heart murmurs by recording the acoustic signal of the heart and the ECG signal simultaneously and analyzing these signal.
The complete system is a CD comprising Sensi Diagnostic Heart Murmur Software that runs on a computer with Windows operating system, instructions for use, the WelchAllyn Master Elite Stethoscope and the WelchAllyn Meditron Analyzer that captures the acoustic heart and ECG signals.
The Sensi Diagnostic Heart Murmur Software distinguishes between normal/ physiological and pathological heart murmurs by analyzing the acoustic heart and ECG signals captured with the WelchAllyn Meditron Analyzer. The device will record the acoustic sound of the heart at the four main auscultation positions and a three lead ECG signal. The ECG signal is not intended for diagnostic use, only to synchronize with the beginning of each heart cycle. The acoustic heart signal is analyzed to identify heart sounds that may be present, identified sounds include S1, S2 and suspected systolic murmurs.

COMPARISON OF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 807.92(a)(6)
The Sensi software device features were directly compared with the FDA cleared Zargis Acoustic Cardioscan and Meditron Stethoscope Analyzer.
Synopsis of the comparison analysis:
- All three software systems uses equivalent computer platforms. .
- Both Sensi and Meditron uses equivalent accessories (electronic stethoscope and ● USB Analyzer - ECG). The acoustic performance between the Littmann and WelchAllyn electronic stethoscopes are equivalent.
- Both Sensi and Cardioscan uses equivalent signal processing algorithms. Sensi . uses the ORS peak information from the ECG to segment the heart beats. No additional issues are introduced using this standard processing method and makes the process only more safe and effective.
- Patient information and signal display handling are in all three cases equivalent. .
- Sensi and Cardioscan's clinical performances are equivalent. ●

Dear Mr. Smith:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 24. 2011.
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.
