Intended Use

The StratoScientific Steth IO Stethoscope and Phonocardiogram Model 1.0 is intended for medical diagnostic purposes only. It may be used for the detection of sounds from the heart, and lungs with the use of selective frequency ranges. It has been tested for use on adults undergoing a physical assessment.

Device Description

Steth IO is an acoustic device that is used in conjunction with a smartphone to collect heart and lung sounds. Steth IO attaches to the back of the smartphone and contains an acoustic wave guide that channels sound from the Steth IO chest piece to the smartphone's microphone, while also acting as a protective covering for the phone. The Steth IO smartphone application software performs real-time analysis so the user can hear the sounds using headphones, and visualize the sound using the on-screen phonocardiogram. The device is capable of recording sound and phonocardiogram data, allowing healthcare providers to capture biological sounds and send the data to other healthcare providers or for review at a later time. Steth IO is intended for use as a diagnostic aid, enabling the healthcare provider to identify sounds and any abnormalities that may be present.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain a study or specific acceptance criteria with reported device performance for the Steth IO device. The document is primarily a 510(k) premarket notification summary to the FDA, which focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

It outlines:

  • Device Name: Steth IO
  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1875
  • Regulation Name: Stethoscope
  • Regulatory Class: Class II
  • Product Code: DQD
  • Intended Use: "The StratoScientific Steth IO Stethoscope and Phonocardiogram Model 1.0 is intended for medical diagnostic purposes only. It may be used for the detection and amplification of sounds from the heart, and lungs with the use of selective frequency ranges. It has been tested for use on adults undergoing a physical assessment."
  • Predicate Device: 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, Model 3200 (K083903) used in conjunction with Zargis StethAssist phonocardiogram software.
  • Comparison to Predicate: A table (Table 2-1.1) highlighting differences in features and functionalities, but not specific performance metrics against acceptance criteria. It discusses how the differences do not affect safety or efficacy.
  • Compliance to Standards: A list of quality, risk management, process-related, technical/product-specific, labeling, and biocompatibility standards the device complies with.

The document does not include:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or details about the study design (retrospective/prospective).
  3. Number of experts, their qualifications, or adjudication methods for ground truth.
  4. Information on multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies or human reader improvement with AI assistance.
  5. Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
  6. The type of ground truth used (e.g., pathology, outcomes data).
  7. Sample size for the training set.
  8. How ground truth for the training set was established.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details based on the given input.

11. Comparison to Predicates

The proposed device and the predicate device have the same/equivalent intended user, intended use environment and targeted patient population. The predicate device chosen to establish substantial equivalence is the 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, Model 3200, cleared under 510(k) K083903; used in conjunction with the Zargis StethAssist phonocardiogram software. It should be noted that phonocardiograms are 510(k) exempt devices per 870.2390. This predicate was selected based on a reference product, the ViScope Electronic Stethoscope (K100531) which used the same principal predicate in their 510(k) for an electronic stethoscope.

The main differences between Steth IO, Model 1.0 Smartphone Stethoscope and Phonocardiogram and the Predicate 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, Model 3200 are included in the Executive Summary VOL_002/001 Table 2-1.1, copied here for reader convenience:

Signal InputMethodAnalog collection of soundwaves to smartphonemicrophoneSound waves collected via atransducerBoth mechanisms convert sound waves intoa digital signal. They are functionallyequivalent.
Audio OutputMethodAudio port and headphonesEarbudsBoth devices transmit sound energy into theear through devices inserted into the ear.While the mechanism is different the result isfunctionally equivalent.
Signal StorageDependant on capacity ofsmartphone. Eachrecording is last 1 minuteof evaluationLimited to 12 – 30 secondrecordingsBy using a smartphone operating platform,the Steth IO has a much greater capacity fordata storage, thus improving efficacy. Doesnot affect safety or efficacy.

Form FactorDevice that is held in thedoctors hand is the form ofthe smartphoneSimilar to traditionalstethoscopeBecause the stethoscope is built into the caseattached to the smartphone the handling ofthe device by the health care provider isslightly different. Usability validation hasshown that clinicians experience no difficultyin understanding how to use and operate thedevice and because the patient contactdiaphragm is very similar to traditionalstethoscopes there appear to be no challengesin understanding how the device is used.

12. Conclusions

StratoScientific believes the proposed Steth IO (Model 1.0) and its predicates the 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, Model 3200 used in conjunction with the Zargis StethAssist phonocardiogram software, are substantially equivalent in their intended users, intended use environment and indications for use. They share similar design and technology characteristics as well as the same fundamental scientific operational technology. The differences that exist between the devices do not affect the relative safety and/or effectiveness.
