The document describes an "analysis procedure" and "algorithms" for identifying heart sounds and distinguishing murmurs, but it does not explicitly mention or imply the use of AI or ML techniques. The analysis appears to be based on signal processing and potentially rule-based algorithms, which are not necessarily AI/ML.
No.
The device is described as an "electronic auscultatory device" intended to "provide support to the physician in the evaluation of patients' heart sounds" and distinguish between "normal/physiological and pathological heart murmurs." It performs diagnostic functions by acquiring and analyzing heart sounds. There is no mention of the device providing any form of treatment or therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The device is described as "intended to provide support to the physician in the evaluation of patients' heart sounds" and "distinguishes between normal/ physiological and pathological heart murmurs." It identifies "specific heart sounds that may be present," including "S1, S2, and suspected murmurs." While it states "It is not intended as a sole means of diagnosis," the purpose of identifying and distinguishing between normal/pathological heart murmurs is inherently diagnostic support.
No
The device description explicitly states that the complete system includes an electronic stethoscope, which is a hardware component necessary for acquiring the acoustic signals. While the software performs the analysis, the system is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the SensiCardiac device 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.
- SensiCardiac's Function: The SensiCardiac device acquires and analyzes acoustic signals from the heart. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient. It is an electronic auscultatory device.
Therefore, the SensiCardiac falls under the category of a medical device that analyzes physiological signals, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SensiCardiac is an electronic auscultatory device, intended to provide support to the physician in the evaluation of patients' heart sounds. The product acquires and records the acoustic signals of the heart and analyzes these signals. The analysis procedure will identify specific heart sounds that may be present. Identified sounds include S1, S2, and suspected murmurs. The device is indicated for use in a clinical setting, by a physician or by trained personnel who are acting on the orders of a licensed physician. It is not intended as a sole means of diagnosis.
The interpretations of heart sounds offered by the SensiCardiac are only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data.
