Intended Use
The Stethographics Heart STG System, is an electronic auscultatory device, intended to provide support to the physician in the evaluation of heart sounds in patients. The product will acquire and record the acoustic signals of the heart and analyze these signals. The analysis procedure will identify specific heart sounds that may be present. Identified sounds include S1, S2, and suspected systolic murmurs. The device is indicated for use in the clinical setting, by a physician or by trained personnel who are acting on the orders of a licensed physician. It in not intended as a sole means of diagnosis. The interpretations of heart sounds offered by the Heart STG System are only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read as well as consideration of all relevant patient data.
Device Story
Heart STG System is software-based analysis tool for electronic stethoscopes; acquires/records acoustic heart signals (20-2000Hz) via compatible electronic stethoscope (e.g., Andromed iStethos, Cardionics e-Scope, 3M E-4000). Software runs on Windows PC; records 20-second .wav files. Algorithm processes signals to identify/mark S1, S2, and suspected systolic murmurs on waveform; calculates heart rate. Used in clinical settings by physicians/trained personnel. Output provides visual markers on waveform to aid physician auscultation; intended to support, not replace, clinical judgment. Benefits include standardized documentation and automated identification of potential murmurs to assist in cardiac assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench and clinical testing performed. Clinical evaluation used two datasets: 91 patient recordings (STG data set) and 363 sounds from the Proctor Harvey gold standard course. Performance compared against consensus of 3 cardiologists. STG data set: 83% overall agreement, 70% sensitivity for murmurs, 93% specificity. Proctor Harvey set: 82% overall agreement, 91% sensitivity, 62% specificity. Heart rate correlation with manual calculation was 0.96 and 0.91 for respective datasets. Results indicate performance comparable to inter-cardiologist agreement.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based analysis system for electronic stethoscopes. Input: 20-2000Hz acoustic signals via 16-bit mono .wav files. Sampling frequency: 8,000 Hz. Compatible with standard electronic stethoscopes. Operates on Windows-based PC. Connectivity: Standalone software application. No specific material standards or sterilization requirements listed as it is a software/accessory system.
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. Identifies S1, S2, and suspected systolic murmurs. 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.

# Heart Sound Analysis STG Performance Data
In order to evaluate the Heart STG with both common heart disorders and more rare disorders, two different sets of cardiac sounds were utilized. The first set of cardiac fare disorders, two allerentise of Heart STG to record 91 patients that were scheduled Sounds were obtained of assessment (referred to as the STG data set). The second set was for conocurdio graphy abbeart sounds provided in the Clinical Auscultation of the Cardiovascular System, by Proctor Harvey and David C. Canfield (referred to as the Cardiovasoular Systems of Proctor Harvey course is considered the gold standard for I roctor frai vey tata bething and covers a broad range of heart disorders (363 sounds total), both common and rare. All sounds were graded by three experienced cardiologists. total), both common and fare. In be ositive when 2 out of 3 cardiologists agreed on the presence of murmur.
The STG data set included 91 sounds from 91 patients that were scheduled for th echocardiography assessment. Average age was 61±17 years (range 23 to 94). The cender distribution in this population was 44% male and 56% female. The patients were gender distribution in this peparates recording. The STG recorded 20 second sounds asked to nota then orean ouring stres STG performance to that of the cardiologists. The '+' indicates murmur-positive sounds and '-' indicates murmur-negative sounds.

Thus, the STG agreement with 2/3 cardiologists was found to be comparable to that measured among experienced cardiologists.
Heart Rate (HR) was validated by comparing the HR calculated by the STG to that Treat Rale (TIT) was vanuated by contpassion. The correlations between the Heart STG canculated by JN Entimall: 21.000 tlosscope for the STG data set and Proctor Harvey data set are 0.96 and 0.91, respectively.
