The eMurmur ID software system is a decision support device for the healthcare provider (the user) in the evaluation of patient heart sounds. eMurmur ID is used to record, display, analyze, and store the acoustic signal of the heart, recorded by means of an electronic stethoscope. The automated analysis will identify specific heart sounds that may be present, including S1, S2, physiological heart murmurs, pathological heart murmurs and absence of a heart murmur.

eMurmur ID is indicated for use in a setting where auscultation would typically be performed by a healthcare provider. It is not intended as a sole means of diagnosis. The heart sound interpretations offered by eMurmur ID are only significant when considered in conjunction with healthcare provider over-read and including all other relevant patient data.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
