Indications for Use
The SensiCardiac Mobi is an electronic auscultatory device, intended to provide support to the physician in the evaluation of patients' heart sounds. The product acquires and records the acoustic signals of the heart and analyzes these signals. The analysis procedure will identify specific heart sounds that may be present. Identified sounds include S1, S2, and suspected murmurs. The device is indicated for use in a clinical setting, by a physician or by trained personnel who are acting on the orders of a licensed physician. It is not intended as a sole means of diagnosis. The interpretations of heart sounds offered by the SensiCardiac Mobi are only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data.
Device Story
SensiCardiac Mobi is a decision support system for heart auscultation; utilizes compatible electronic stethoscope (ThinkLabs ds32a+) to capture acoustic heart signals (20-10,000 Hz) at four auscultation positions; records 10-30 second .wav files. Data transmitted via TCP/IP to hosted server environment running Sensi Diagnostic Heart Murmur Algorithm; algorithm analyzes signals to identify S1, S2, and suspected murmurs. Mobile device (iPhone 4S+) serves as interface for data capture, display, and patient info entry. Used in clinical settings by physicians/trained staff; output requires physician over-read and integration with other patient data. Benefits include improved auscultation accuracy and decision support.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and clinical validation performed. Studies included verification of algorithm performance (identical to predicate), usability testing (scoring >4/5), and acoustic performance on iPhone 4S/5. Clinical report (APCA) analyzed 1568 heart sounds validated against echocardiography (golden standard). Pediatric study reported 94% specificity and 84% sensitivity.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises mobile device (iPhone 4S+), hosted server (Linux), and external electronic stethoscope (ThinkLabs ds32a+). Connectivity via TCP/IP. Audio captured at >4.000 Hz, 16-bit mono .wav. Algorithm is software-based diagnostic support. No computational functions performed on mobile device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in clinical settings by physicians or trained personnel under physician orders to support evaluation of heart sounds in patients. Not for use as a sole diagnostic tool.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Manual stethoscope: A mechanical device used to project the sounds associated with the heart, arteries, and veins and other internal organs. Electronic stethoscope: An electrically amplified device used to project the sounds associated with the heart, arteries, and veins and other internal organs.
Special Controls
*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.
