The AusculThing ACC software is a decision-support SW for the healthcare provider (the user) in the evaluation of patient heart sounds. The ACC is used to record, display, and analyze acoustic signals of the heart recorded by means of an electronic stethoscope. It is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients. The automated analysis will categorize heart sounds as either “abnormal” if any heart murmur of any intensity is identified in any position across the precordium, or “normal” if either no murmurs or benign murmurs are identified. ACC 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 interpretation offered by the software is only significant when used in conjunction with physician over-read and including all other relevant patient data. The device is intended for Rx use only. The AusculThing ACC shall be used together with Thinklabs One electronic stethoscope.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
