Intended Use
The Eko Electronic Stethoscope System is intended to be used as a part of a patient by healthcare professionals for diagnostic decision support in clinical settings. Eko is intended for use on pediatric and adult patients. It can electronically amplify, filter and transfer sounds to the accompanying mobile application for storage and sharing. It can used to record heart sounds and cardiac murmurs, bruits, respiratory sounds during physical examination in normal patients or those with suspected diseases of the cardiac, vascular, pulmonary or abdominal organ systems.

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and lacks descriptions of training/test sets or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
The device is used for diagnostic decision support by recording and transferring physiological sounds, not for direct treatment or therapy.

Yes
The device is explicitly stated to be intended for "diagnostic decision support in clinical settings" and can be used to record sounds for patients with "suspected diseases."

No

The device description explicitly states it can "electronically amplify, filter and transfer sounds," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Eko Electronic Stethoscope System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description clearly states the Eko system is used "as a part of a patient" and for "physical examination." It records sounds directly from the patient's body.
  • The intended use and device description focus on physical examination and recording sounds from within the body. There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample.

Therefore, the Eko Electronic Stethoscope System falls under the category of a medical device used for physical examination and diagnostic support, but not an IVD.

Dear Michael Righter:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
