The summary describes a device that amplifies sounds and displays phonocardiograms and ECGs. There is no mention of any analytical or interpretive functions that would typically involve AI/ML, nor are there sections describing training or test data sets which are characteristic of AI/ML development.
No
The device is described as a "diagnostic aid" and an "amplification device" for body sounds, with the ability to "verify the existence of cardiac biopotential activity", but explicitly states the display is "in no way meant to be diagnostic" and it does not provide any therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "It is intended for use as a diagnostic aid."
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "electronic stethoscope with an integrated graphics display" and mentions "integral electrodes," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the CADIscope is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- CADIscope Function: The CADIscope is used to amplify and display sounds and electrical activity directly from the patient's body (in vivo). It listens to heart, lung, and other body sounds and detects cardiac biopotential activity through electrodes placed on the chest.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes it as a diagnostic aid as part of a physical assessment, focusing on listening to body sounds and verifying cardiac biopotential activity. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body, not the analysis of a specimen.
Therefore, the CADIscope falls under the category of a medical device used for direct patient assessment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The CADIscope is a patented electronic stethoscope with an integrated graphics display to show the amplified heart sounds as phonocardiograms and show parallel to the heart sounds the ECG in an Einthoven Triangle.
It is intended for use as a diagnostic aid as part of a physical assessment of a patient by health care professionals or other individuals trained to administer emergency first aid or otherwise care for a patient.
It can be used for the amplification of heart, lung, blood vessel, enteral and other body sounds. When the device's integral electrodes are placed on the chest of the patient, it is capable of verifying the existence of cardiac biopotential activity. The quality of the biopotential activity display depends upon user technique and environmental conditions and it is in no way meant to be diagnostic.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: The CADIscope, with it's sound channel, is substantially 6. equivalent to other electronic stethoscopes on the market. CADIscope claims for it's sound channel, substantial equivalence to the E-Scope Electronic Stethoscope Model 718-7120, K961301 manufactured by Cardionics Inc., 1100 Hercules Ave, Suite 210, Houston, 77058 TX.
The CADIscope, with it's ECG display, is substantially equivalent to other small portable electrocardiographs on the market. CADIscope claims for it's ECG display, substantial equivalence to the Miniscope MS-3, Electrocardiograph, K954066, manufactured by Schiller AG, Altgasse 68, CH-6340 Baar, Switzerland. -
COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE: The CADIscope is similar to the E-Scope in 7. that they both are electronic stethoscopes that operate on batteries. Both stethoscopes work by amplifying and filtering the heart sounds and allowing the user of the device to adjust the volume in order to better hear the heart sounds.
The CADIscope is different than the E-Scope in that it has a visual representation of the heart sounds (or the ECG) and the E-Scope does not. (And therefor the CADIscope contains a microprocessor and the E-Scope does not.)
The CADIscope is similar to the Miniscope MS-3 in that they both are battery operated portable monitors with 3 built-in electrodes to pick up the ECG in an Einthoven Triangle (or Tripode), in both devices the microprocessor optimizes the signal's amplitude and displays a 1-lead ECG on a LCD using similar resolution and base-line and noise filtering technology.
The CADIscope is different than the Miniscope MS-3 in that it does not have memory to store the (two) ECG signal's data over minutes to be played back on the internal LCD or to be transmitted to and analyzed by special ECG analysis programs on special cardiographs or PC's. The Miniscope MS-3 does also offer the possibility to connect an external patient cable with 3 or 5 leads, the CADIscope does not.

Re: K990809 CADIscope Electronic Stethoscope Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: DQD Dated: February 8, 1999 Received: March 11, 1999
Dear Ms. Lock:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval) , it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Druq Administration (FDA) will verify such Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in assumptions.

regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling requlation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diaqnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
