Intended Use
An ossicular replacement prosthesis is a device intended to the functional reconstruction of segments of the ossicular chain and facilitates the conduction of sound wave from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. Ossicular replacement prostheses are indicated for the function of the ossicular chain when a conductive hearing loss is present. Indications for use include: Chronic middle ear disease, Otosclerosis, Congenital fixation of the stapes, Secondary surgical intervention to correct for a significant and persistent conductive hearing loss from prior otologic surgery, and surgically correctible injury to the middle ear from trauma.

More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical ossicular replacement prosthesis and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for the functional reconstruction of segments of the ossicular chain and facilitates the conduction of sound waves, addressing conductive hearing loss caused by various conditions. This direct intervention to restore function and alleviate a medical condition classifies it as therapeutic.

No
The device is an ossicular replacement prosthesis, designed for reconstruction of the ossicular chain to facilitate sound conduction, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a family of ossicular replacement prostheses, which are physical implants made from materials like titanium and silicone. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • Device Function: The described device is an ossicular replacement prosthesis. Its function is to physically reconstruct segments of the ossicular chain in the middle ear to facilitate sound conduction. It is a surgically implanted device.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the device being used to analyze any biological specimens from the patient. Its purpose is mechanical replacement and sound transmission.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device (specifically, a surgically implanted prosthesis) but not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Cobb:

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.
