Intended Use
The AC440 system is intended to be used for the detection and diagnosis of suspected hearing loss. The HIT440 system is intended to be used as a means to get an objective indication of the characteristics of a hearing aid and as a help for making the adjustments of the hearing aid to the patient. It is used by manufacturers of hearing aids and in clinics for hearing aid fitting. These two devices can either be sold individually or together in the same housing. The HIT440 system may also be used with other approved Hearing aid test chambers

More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The summary does not contain any keywords or descriptions related to AI or ML technology. The device description and intended use focus on standard hearing testing and hearing aid fitting functionalities.

No
The device is intended for detection, diagnosis, and adjustment of hearing aids, not for treating a condition.

Yes
The AC440 system explicitly states its intended use is for "detection and diagnosis of suspected hearing loss," which indicates it is a diagnostic device.

No

The description mentions "system" and "housing," implying hardware components are involved, and there is no explicit statement that the device is software-only.

Based on the provided information, neither the AC440 system nor the HIT440 system are IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses described for both devices involve the detection of hearing loss and the testing/fitting of hearing aids. These activities are performed directly on or in relation to the patient's ear, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: While the device description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly indicates a function related to hearing and hearing aids, which are not in vitro activities.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Ear," which is an in vivo (within the living body) site, not an in vitro (outside the living body) site.

Therefore, these devices fall under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
