Description
HD Steth is a Smart Stethoscope with Integrated ECG. It's leading-edge technology aids in the early detection of cardiac anomalies. It employs smart amplification for best in class dynamic auscultation.
The HD App is designed to be used in conjunction with the HD Steth smart stethoscope. HD App connects to any HD Steth via standard Bluetooth protocol. It is a state of the art app that can perform many functions that are required as part of cardiac testing. It allows for medical professionals, caregivers and users to visualise heart sounds as well as see the electrical waveform of an EKG. Both waveforms are displayed simultaneously. The interface is designed to user-friendly and many functions can be done intuitively. The amplification and gain of both waveforms can be adjusted dynamically. Test data can be recorded on the fly and saved to the local device. Recorded data can be replayed or reviewed by specialists and users. The information can be saved to a patient's medical record.
Disclaimer:
HD Steth is an electronic Stethoscope meant to assist a qualified clinician to capture, record and replay heart sounds and electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) rhythm. It is intended to be used on one patient at a time. Heart sounds (PCG) and 1-lead EKG rhythm are acquired and displayed simultaneously on an accompanying mobile application on a hand-held smart device like a phone or tablet. The waveforms can be recorded and saved on the smart device on which the app is running.
The device has 3 auscultation modes – Bell, Diaphragm and Lung (Wide). These modes and volume levels can be changed by the press of a button. The EKG rhythm recording assists in getting an indicative Heart Rate (HR) that gets displayed on a display panel on the device.
The device must be used in a clinical setting by trained and qualified personnel only. HD Steth is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. It does not supersede the judgement of a qualified clinician. The device is intended to aid the physician in the evaluation of PCG and EKG rhythm. The clinicians are completely responsible for reviewing and interpreting the results, along with all other relevant information, when making a referral decision.
