No
The document describes ventilation tubes for the ear and contains no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for chronic or recurrent otitis media, acute otitis media with complications, and Eustachian tube dysfunction, all of which are therapeutic indications to alleviate symptoms or treat conditions.

No
Explanation: The provided text describes "Neozoline Ventilation Tubes" which are used to treat conditions like otitis media and Eustachian tube dysfunction. These are therapeutic devices, not diagnostic ones. Diagnostic devices are used to identify a disease or condition, while therapeutic devices are used to treat or manage a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "Neozoline Ventilation Tubes," which are physical medical devices (tubes inserted into the ear). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The description of the Neozoline Ventilation Tubes indicates they are implanted into the ear to treat conditions like otitis media and Eustachian tube dysfunction. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.
  • The intended use describes a treatment for ear conditions. The indications for use clearly outline the patient populations and conditions for which the ventilation tubes are intended to provide relief or improvement, not to diagnose a condition by analyzing a sample.

Therefore, the Neozoline Ventilation Tubes are a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 874.3880 Tympanostomy tube.

(a)
Identification. A tympanostomy tube is a device that is intended to be implanted for ventilation or drainage of the middle ear. The device is inserted through the tympanic membrane to permit a free exchange of air between the outer ear and middle ear. A type of tympanostomy tube known as the malleous clip tube attaches to the malleous to provide middle ear ventilation. The device is made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, silicon elastomer, or porous polyethylene.(b)
