## Indications for Use

The PulmoTrack Model 1010 is intended for the analysis, interpretation and documentation of lung sounds. The PulmoTrack Model 1010 is indicated for use by or under the supervision of a physician while carrying out a provocation test, administering a bronchodilator or performing a physical examination in a pulmonary function testing environment when there is a need to perform an acoustic pulmonary function measurement that quantifies the presence of wheezing. It is also indicated when there is a need to listen to amplified and filtered breath sounds.

## Device Story

PulmoTrack Model 1010 is a computer-based electronic stethoscope system. It utilizes up to five contact sensors placed on the trachea and thorax to acquire pulmonary sounds. The device amplifies, filters, and records these acoustic signals. It performs analysis to quantify the presence of wheezing. Outputs include high-fidelity audio, visual displays, and printed reports. Used in pulmonary function testing environments by physicians or under their supervision to assist in physical examinations, provocation tests, or bronchodilator administration. The system provides clinicians with objective acoustic data to aid in the assessment of lung sounds and wheeze detection.

## Technological Characteristics

Computer-based electronic stethoscope; utilizes up to five contact sensors for simultaneous signal acquisition; signal processing includes amplification and filtering; provides visual display and printed reports; system architecture integrates acoustic sensing with computer-based analysis.

## 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

- Littmann Brand Electronic Stethoscope
- Pulmonary Function Test Laboratory, System1010
