Intended Use
The ER35 is intended to be a test instrument that measures otoacoustic emissions and tympanic membrane performance (tympanometry). The ER35 ERO-SCAN Pro Hearing Test System (ER35) is indicated for testing of cochlear and middle ear function in infants, children, and adults by measuring otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and tympanometry.
Device Description
The ER35 is a microprocessor-controlled instrument designed to screen otoacoustic emissions and tympanic membrane performance (tympanometry). Test information is stored in memory, displayed on a graphic LCD, and can be printed by a dot matrix printer or stored on a computer. The product is manufactured and delivered completely assembled to the retailer using materials and techniques widely used by manufacturers of hearing devices
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a microprocessor-controlled instrument for measuring otoacoustic emissions and tympanometry, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or other sections.

No.
The ER35 is described as a "test instrument" and a "screening" device that "measures otoacoustic emissions and tympanic membrane performance (tympanometry)". Its purpose is to assess cochlear and middle ear function, which falls under diagnostic or screening categories rather than direct therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The device is intended for "testing of cochlear and middle ear function" and measures "otoacoustic emissions" and "tympanic membrane performance," which are used to evaluate the function of these parts of the ear, indicating a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "microprocessor-controlled instrument" and is "manufactured and delivered completely assembled," indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a standalone software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the ER35 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • ER35 Function: The ER35 directly measures physiological responses within the ear (otoacoustic emissions and tympanic membrane performance). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

The ER35 is a diagnostic device used for assessing hearing function, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Intended Use:The ER35 is intended to be a test instrument that measures
otoacoustic emissions and tympanic membrane
performance (tympanometry).
Indications for Use:The ER35 ERO-SCAN Pro Hearing Test System (ER35) is
indicated for testing of cochlear and middle ear function in
infants, children, and adults by measuring otoacoustic
emissions (OAEs) and tympanometry.
Comparison to Predicate Device:
All device parameters and patient contacting materials are
the same for both the product which is the subject of this
510(k) and the predicate devices. In a few areas, the ER35
has reduced parameter ranges than the predicate devices.
Conclusion:The ER35 utilizes the same technology and has the same
intended use as the cited predicate devices, and is therefore
substantially equivalent (21 CFR 807.92(a)(3)).
Performance Standards:The ER35 is in compliance with the following performance
and safety standards: Specifications for Instruments to
Measure Aural Impedance and Admittance (Aural Acoustic
Immittance) (ANSI S3.39-1987), American National
Standards Institute, New York, 1996.; Instruments for the
Measurement of Aural Acoustic Impedance / Admittance
