No
The document describes a physical medical device (tympanostomy tubes) and its coating. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.
Yes
The device is implanted to treat chronic otitis media with effusion, recurrent acute otitis media, and other middle ear conditions, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is a tympanostomy tube, which is an implantable device used for ventilation or drainage of the middle ear to treat conditions like chronic otitis media. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states the device is a physical tympanostomy tube made from medical grade silicone and coated with phosphorylcholine, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for ventilation or drainage of the middle ear, addressing conditions like otitis media, negative middle ear pressure, and tympanic membrane retraction. This is a therapeutic and surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant (tympanostomy tube) made of silicone with a coating. It is designed to be placed in the ear, not to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
The device is clearly intended for direct medical intervention within the body, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.

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.
