No
The summary describes a system for amplifying and transmitting sounds, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as amplifying and transmitting sounds for multiple listeners, which serves a diagnostic or observational purpose rather than directly treating a medical condition.

No
The description states the device "allows the user to amplify heart, lung and bowel sounds and transmit them" for listening, but does not indicate any function for analyzing these sounds to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as an electronic stethoscope, transmitter unit, and receiving unit(s).

Based on the provided information, the SimulScope® Bedside Auscultation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • SimulScope Function: The SimulScope system amplifies and transmits sounds from within the body (heart, lung, bowel). It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the listening and sharing of these sounds, not to perform diagnostic tests on bodily fluids or tissues.

The device is a diagnostic tool in the sense that it aids in the process of diagnosis by allowing healthcare professionals to better hear internal sounds, but it does not fit the regulatory definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 870.1875 Stethoscope.

(a)
Manual stethoscope —(1)Identification. A manual stethoscope is a mechanical device used to project the sounds associated with the heart, arteries, and veins and other internal organs.(2)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.(b)
Electronic stethoscope —(1)Identification. An electronic stethoscope is an electrically amplified device used to project the sounds associated with the heart, arteries, and veins and other internal organs.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a lung sound monitor, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.
