## Indications for Use
The Stethographics STG Multichannel Lung Sound Analysis system is intended for the recording, audio reproduction, graphic display and automated identification of lung sounds. It can be configured to record from one or more than one channel. Prescription Device. Federal Law (US) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
## Device Story
The STG Monitor is a multichannel lung sound analysis system consisting of electronic stethoscopes, a back pad, pre-amplifier, connection hub, PC, printer, cart, speakers, and headphones. It uses a disposable cotton cover for patient contact. The system records lung sounds from one or more channels, processes the audio signals, and provides graphic displays and automated identification of lung sounds. It is intended for use in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to assist in pulmonary function interpretation. The output allows clinicians to visualize and listen to lung sounds, aiding in clinical decision-making regarding respiratory health.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench and laboratory testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing demonstrated that the performance, safety, and effectiveness of the STG Monitor are equivalent to the predicate device.
## Technological Characteristics
System includes electronic stethoscopes, back pad, pre-amplifier, connection hub, PC, printer, cart, speakers, and headphones. Non-invasive with disposable cotton patient contact covers. Software-based analysis of lung sounds. Connectivity via PC-based system.
## Regulatory Identification
A diagnostic pulmonary-function interpretation calculator is a device that interprets pulmonary study data to determine clinical significance of pulmonary-function values.
## Predicate Devices
- Pulmotrack, Model 1010 ([K980978](/device/K980978.md))
