Unknown

The provided text does not contain a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Tranquil TRI-BTE is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for sound therapy for tinnitus treatment. This involves delivering sound to the patient, not analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a device that interacts with the patient's auditory system, not with biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, using reagents, or any other activities typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Tranquil TRI-BTE's function is therapeutic (sound therapy), not diagnostic in the sense of analyzing biological samples.
