Intended Use
The Interacoustics ASSR is indicated for use in the recording and analysis of human physiological data used for the diagnosis of auditory and hearing-related functions. The Interacoustics ASSR can be used as either simple screening device if used as part of a group of I audionettic tests. It is exceptionally useful in testing individuals for whom behavioural audiometric results are deemed unreliable; this would include infants, young children, cognitively impaired or uncooperative adults. It allows for the estimation of hearing threshold at various frequencies, through the use of ASSR (Auditory Steady-State Response) test protocols. It is designed to be used by individuals who are trained in the performance and interpretation of evoked potentials such as audiologists and physicians. The results of the test will be used by trained hearing health care professionals to make recommendations regarding appropriate intervention strategies.
Device Description
This system consists of a general hardware platform (ERA) and a software platform (ASSR). This may be installed into any external cabinet as required for proper use of the system. For this application the external cabinet used is the Eclipse. Other cabinets will be released in the future using the same hardware platform (ERA) and will allow software interchange ability between cabinets. As stated before this device is based on a general hardware platform (ERA) which is designed to be able to perform different audiometric and ABR testing functions. This module has been previously approved per 510k #K052562, functions may be added to this platform in the future, each module will be re-applied for at that time. A license system makes it possible to select which functionality the user wants to be incorporated in the system. The specific functionality of the system is controlled by the ASSR software. This software is installed on the connected PC and the system uses a USB connection between the PC and the hardware Test results and reports are formatted and printed by the ASSR software. A database containing test results and other patient information can be located and shared on the PC,
More Information

No
The summary describes a system for recording and analyzing physiological data for auditory testing using ASSR protocols. It mentions hardware and software platforms, USB connection, and a database, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor any description of training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No.

The device is used for the diagnosis of auditory and hearing-related functions and the estimation of hearing thresholds, not for treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use in the recording and analysis of human physiological data used for the diagnosis of auditory and hearing-related functions." It also mentions that the results "will be used by trained hearing health care professionals to make recommendations regarding appropriate intervention strategies," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a general hardware platform (ERA) and a software platform (ASSR), and that the software is installed on a connected PC which uses a USB connection to the hardware. This indicates the presence of dedicated hardware components beyond a general-purpose computing platform.

Based on the provided text, the Interacoustics ASSR is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Interacoustics ASSR Function: The text clearly states the device is used for "recording and analysis of human physiological data used for the diagnosis of auditory and hearing-related functions." It measures "physiological data" and "evoked potentials" directly from the patient, not from a specimen taken from the patient.
  • Method of Operation: The description details the hardware and software used to perform ASSR tests, which involve presenting auditory stimuli and measuring the brain's electrical responses. This is a direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, the Interacoustics ASSR falls under the category of a physiological measurement device used for diagnostic purposes, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Egan:

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.
