The Insights for Wheeze Detection is an over-the-counter decision support software system used in the evaluation of lung sounds in adults and children (2 years and older). It automatically analyzes the acoustic signal of the lung as recorded by the FDA cleared compatible Tyto Stethoscope and identifies recordings where a specific abnormal lung sound suggestive of “Wheeze” is suspected. It is not intended to detect other abnormal or normal lung sounds. A licensed health care professional’s advice is required to understand the meaning of the Tyto Insights for Wheeze Detection result. Healthcare provider should consider the device result in conjunction with recording and other relevant patient data.
An external electronic listening device designed to detect and amplify extremely weak body sounds that may be difficult to perceive when using a mechanical stethoscope. This device may differentiate between sound tones and accentuate one (e.g., blood flow through a defective heart valve) over another. It is typically designed to be connected to a computing device, which may operate interpretive software sometimes provided with the stethoscope, for recording and/or display.
