No
The description focuses on data collection and transmission for remote expert diagnosis, with no mention of automated analysis or interpretation using AI/ML.
No
The device is indicated for detecting, amplifying, and measuring body sounds and temperature for diagnostic or monitoring purposes, ultimately for diagnostic consultation by a remote expert, not for actively treating or alleviating a condition.
Yes
The device's intended use is to "detect and amplify heart, lung, and other body sounds as well as to measure body temperature for infants and adults for diagnostic or monitoring purposes". The Device Description also states that it is designed to "collect physiological sensory data... to a remote expert for diagnosis." These statements clearly indicate its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device features a stethoscope, camera, thermometer, and Otoscope, and is contained within a physical case with a display screen. It also mentions embedded microprocessors and a rechargeable battery. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, the Ossler Exam Scope, Model OS 100 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
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. The tests are conducted outside of the body (in vitro).
- Ossler Exam Scope Function: The Ossler Exam Scope collects physiological data directly from the patient's body (in vivo). It uses a stethoscope to listen to body sounds, a thermometer to measure temperature, and a camera/otoscope to capture images of external or easily accessible internal areas (skin, tonsils, ears).
- Data Collection Method: The device is used to perform a physical examination and collect sensory data from the patient, not to analyze samples taken from the patient.
The device is clearly designed for remote physical examination and data collection for diagnostic consultation, which falls under the category of medical devices used for diagnosis and monitoring, but not specifically as an IVD.

Device Description
The Ossler Exam Scope , Model OS100 is prescribed by a physician to be used by an operator to conduct a limited, examination session to upload heart sounds, temperature, calibrated images of the skin, tonsils, ears, and upload this data to a remote expert for diagnosis. This device is designed to deliver, to a health care provider, the physiological sensory date collected from a remote location. The healthcare provider then makes a diagnostic decision using this data. When the health care provider deems that collection of data provides benefits to the patient and health care provider.
The Ossler Exam Scope "" provides a facility where the patient is remote from health care provider and key physiological inputs are required. Usually a health care provider is placed in the difficult position of making a decision with poor descriptions and little or no real information. With the rise of cell phones, many APPs are created to attempt to develop physiological data. The Ossler Exam Scope , Model OS100 is completely different. At the heart of this device is the founder's goal to conduct an exam at the point of care and measure physiological conditions to develop reliable, sophisticated inputs that can be delivered remotely to a qualified expert for diagnosis.
This device does not affect how physicians "practice medicine". As a prescription device, the physician still conducts an exam and then reaches a diagnostic decision. The only sigmificant change is to the BENEFIT of the patient, it reduces the obstacles necessary for the patient to the physician.
The Ossler Exam Scope, Model OS100 features a stethoscope, camera, thermometer and Otoscope. Contained within a comfortable, durable case, it features a display screen where the user can view the menu and make selections to complete an exam session. Upon completion the device can connect and upload data via WiFi for expert diagnosis. The Exam Scope uses reliable commercial quality embedded microprocessors with a rechargeable battery. The driving firmware is of course custom designed to meet the challenges of this sophisticated diagnostic device.

Summary
The RISKs are reduced since this device uses far better Class II instruments than other stethoscopes and infrared thermometers. Features of the Ossler Exam Scope. This compact, hand held device embodies expert sensors to detect physiological data at the point of patient care. Each sensor is tested for diagnostic performance unlike the usual cell phone devices from the internet.
The Ossler Exam Scope, Model OS100 features a stethoscope, camera, thermometer and Otoscope. Contained within a comfortable, durable case, it features a display screen where the user can view the menu and make selections to complete an exam session. Upon completion the device can connect and upload data via WiFi for expert diagnosis. The Exam Scope uses reliable commercial quality embedded microprocessors with a rechargeable battery. The driving firmware is of course custom designed to meet the challenges of this sophisticated diagnostic device.
Image /page/4/Picture/4 description: The image shows a black medical device with a screen displaying a user interface. The screen shows options such as "Doctor Exam" and "Self Mode", suggesting it's used for medical examinations or self-monitoring. The device has a cylindrical component on the top, possibly for scanning or measurement.
Indications for Use
Ossler Exam Scope, Model OS 100 is indicated to detect and amplify heart, lung, and other body sounds as well as to measure body temperature for infants and adults for diagnostic or monitoring purposes on a patient where by the patient will benefit by uploading these data for diagnostic consultation. This does shall not be prescribed for "active patient monitoring".
Contraindications
Ossler Exam Scope, Model OS 100 shall not be used in a clinical condition requiring an immediate clinical response. Ossler Scope shall not be for active patient monitoring.
Intended Use
Ossler Scope - OSC10 is intended for use as a handheld examination scope to provide temperature, heart/lung sounds during a diagnostic session.
The scientific concept on which this device is based, is the principle that expert, qualified data from a stethoscope and thermometer will aid a physician in making a diagnostic decision when this data is necessary and the patient is not in the same room as the physician. This device functions by delivering heart sounds, lung sounds, temperature, calibrated images of the skin, tonsils, ears, and upload this data to a remote expert for diagnosis.
Benefits
This device offers a benefit to those patients who cannot be present to their physician when the data this device provides can assist the physician. The Ossler Exam Scope "" offers the practitioner a better alternative than depending on the growing availability of data from unqualified devices such as cell phones.
Risk
The risks associated with conducting an exam with a patient using this device and achieving a false presentation of data is almost non-existence.

Summary
Technical Characteristics
The Ossler Exam Scope "" uses the same technical characteristics as the two cleared predicate Class II devices: stethoscope & thermometer(IR non-contact). The technical characteristics of the stethoscope use a collection cavity to measure vibrations that are amplified and digitized. The thermometer functions by collecting reflected infrared energy into a thermopile and counting and digitizing the data.
Substantial Equivalence
LR Med Inc, a/k/a Galenus Scientific has determined that the Ossler Exam Scope , Model OS100 is substantially equivalent to the performance of two earlier predicates. A stethoscope predicate and an IR thermometer predicate. The following compares feature of the stethoscope in this device to the predicate stethoscope and the features of the infrared thermometer of this device to the infrared thermometer of the predicate.
