The device description explicitly states that the Tyto Stethoscope is composed of a "Stethoscope Tip and a Base Unit," which are hardware components. The performance studies also include electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility testing, which are relevant to hardware devices.
Based on the provided information, the Tyto Stethoscope is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Tyto Stethoscope Function: The Tyto Stethoscope is used to listen to internal body sounds (auscultation) from the heart, lungs, and other organs. It transmits this sound data for a clinician to review. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it enables the transmission of auscultation sound data for a clinician to listen to. This is a physical examination technique, not an in vitro test.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the hardware and software components used for capturing and transmitting sound, not for analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to electrical safety, biocompatibility, stethoscope performance, and software validation – all relevant to a physical examination device, not an IVD.
- Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are other electronic stethoscopes, which are also not IVDs.
In summary, the Tyto Stethoscope is a medical device used for physical examination (auscultation) and remote transmission of sound data, not for analyzing biological specimens. Therefore, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Tyto Stethoscope is designed for use by professional as well as lay users in clinical or nonclinical environments. It enables four types of stethoscope exams: Heart, Lungs, Heart Rate and Audio (Audio is for clinician only). The operation process of the Tyto Stethoscope uses four (4) primary functional elements:
- (1) The Tyto Stethoscope (composed of a Stethoscope Tip and a Base Unit and supported with proprietary software)
- (2) A mobile device (e.g., a smartphone, not part of the Tyto Stethoscope device, not supplied by TytoCare, on which the proprietary TytoCare App is running),
- (3) The Tyto Server platform (composed of server hardware not part of the Tyto Stethoscope device, not supplied by TytoCare, on which the proprietary server software is running)
- (4) A clinician receiving platform located in a clinical environment (e.g., a PC at the clinic, not part of the Tyto Stethoscope device, not supplied by TytoCare, on which the proprietary Clinician App is running).
Two operational flows are optional for using the Tyto Stethoscope: store-and-forward flow and on-line exam flow. Both flows are essentially similar and share the same fundamental steps: performing one or more measurements using the Tyto Stethoscope, recording the data and sending to a clinician, review of the recorded measurements by the clinician, and user receiving a written summary from the clinician presenting his/her assessment and/or recommendations. While in the store-and-forward flow the user can perform the measurements and send the recorded data to the clinician whenever convenient for him/her, an on-line flow may be executed only when also the clinician is available on-line.

Intended Use / Indication for Use:
The Tyto Stethoscope is an electronic stethoscope that enables transmission of auscultation sound data, whereby a clinician at one location on an IP network can listen to the auscultation sounds of a patient on site or at a different location on the IP network with the signal carried on an IP connection between the two locations. The Tyto stethoscope is intended for use by professional users in a clinical environment or in conjunction with patients or lay users in a nonclinical environment.
Device Description:
The Tyto Stethoscope is designed for use by professional as well as lay users in clinical or nonclinical environments. It enables four types of stethoscope exams: Heart, Lungs, Heart Rate and Audio (Audio is for clinician only). The operation process of the Tyto Stethoscope uses four (4) primary functional elements:
- (1) The Tyto Stethoscope (composed of a Stethoscope Tip and a Base Unit and supported with proprietary software)
- (2) A mobile device (e.g., a smartphone, not part of the Tyto Stethoscope device, not supplied by TytoCare, on which the proprietary TytoCare App is running),

- (4) A clinician receiving platform located in a clinical environment (e.g., a PC at the clinic, not part of the Tyto Stethoscope device, not supplied by TytoCare, on which the proprietary Clinician App is running).
Two operational flows are optional for using the Tyto Stethoscope: store-and-forward flow and on-line exam flow. Both flows are essentially similar and share the same fundamental steps: performing one or more measurements using the Tyto Stethoscope, recording the data and sending to a clinician, review of the recorded measurements by the clinician, and user receiving a written summary from the clinician presenting his/her assessment and/or recommendations. While in the store-and-forward flow the user can perform the measurements and send the recorded data to the clinician whenever convenient for him/her, an on-line flow may be executed only when also the clinician is available on-line.
Substantial Equivalence:
The Tyto Stethoscope, like its two predicate devices, is an electronic stethoscope intended for projecting the sounds associated with the heart, lungs, arteries, veins, and other internal organs. Both the Tyto Stethoscope and the PCP PC Stethoscope are intended also to transmit the recorded auscultation sounds to a remote location where a clinician can listen to them. In addition, both these devices are indicated for use by lay users as well as by professional users.
The Tyto Stethoscope shares with its predicate devices similar structural design (i.e., device components and additional operational elements). In addition, similar principles and mode of operation are used:

K160401 Page 3 of 3
- . Both the Tyto Stethoscope and the PCP PC Stethoscope detect auscultation using a piezo sensor
- Both the Tyto Stethoscope and the Littmann Stethoscope use Bell and Diaphragm filters
- All three devices detect a comparable frequency range
- Data transfer is enabled on-line by all three devices and a store-and-forward mode is ● enabled by both the Tyto and Littmann Stethoscopes.
Performance Testing:
Performance testing was conducted in order to demonstrate the performance, safety and usability of the Tyto Stethoscope. The testing plan included the following main tests:
- Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing (according to IEC 60601-1 and . IEC 60601-1-2)
- Biocompatibility assessment
- Performance testing (e.g., stethoscope performance, heart rate measurement, wireless ●
- coexistence) ●
- SW validation testing and ●
- A usability study ●
Test results indicated that the Tyto Stethoscope functions as expected and is as safe and effective as its predicate devices for its intended use. It is, therefore, concluded that the Tyto Stethoscope is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
