No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses solely on electroacoustic performance testing of hearing aids.

No
The device is described as not being applied to a patient for direct treatment of any illness or condition, and its purpose is to determine the electroacoustic performance of a hearing aid, which is a diagnostic or testing function, not a therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device is used to determine the electroacoustic performance of a hearing aid, not to diagnose a patient's illness or condition.

Unknown

The provided text does not contain a device description, which is essential to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use describes the device being used to test the performance of a hearing aid, either when worn by a patient or in a coupler/sound box. This does not involve the examination of human specimens like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
  • The intended use explicitly states the device is not applied to a patient for direct treatment, not prescribed or over the counter, and not used by a patient. This further reinforces that it's not a diagnostic device used on or with a patient's biological samples.

The device appears to be a tool for evaluating the performance of a medical device (a hearing aid), rather than a diagnostic device itself.

§ 874.3310 Hearing aid calibrator and analysis system.

(a)
Identification. A hearing aid calibrator and analysis system is an electronic reference device intended to calibrate and assess the electroacoustic frequency and sound intensity characteristics emanating from a hearing aid, master hearing aid, group hearing aid or group auditory trainer. The device consists of an acoustic complex of known cavity volume, a sound level meter, a microphone, oscillators, frequency counters, microphone amplifiers, a distoration analyzer, a chart recorder, and a hearing aid test box.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

Dear Ms. Frye:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
