The description focuses on traditional hearing aid technology (amplification of sound pressure waves, digitally programmable memory) and does not mention any AI or ML components. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No.
The device is a hearing aid used for amplification of sound for hearing-impaired persons, not for therapy to treat a medical condition.
No.
The device is described as a hearing aid for amplification of sound, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components like a microphone, battery, and circuit, indicating it is not software-only. While it mentions proprietary software for parameter adjustment, the core function relies on physical amplification and transmission of sound.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
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 about a person's health.
- Device Function: The Lyric Hearing Aid is an air conduction hearing aid. It amplifies sound pressure waves and transmits them to the external ear canal. It does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide hearing assistance to hearing-impaired persons by amplifying sound. This is a functional aid, not a diagnostic test.
The description clearly indicates it's a device that interacts with the external environment (sound waves) and the external ear canal to improve hearing, which is not the function of an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Lyric Hearing Aid is a disposable, extended-wear, air conduction hearing aid, designed to be used and worn by hearing-impaired persons. Hearing assistance is achieved through amplification of sound pressure waves, which are transmitted to the external ear canal via air conduction. The hearing aid is placed in the ear canal by an appropriately trained ENT Physician, Audiologist or Hearing Aid Dispenser and can remain in the ear canal for up to 4 months or until the battery is depleted. Upon device removal the hearing aid is discarded.

Device Description
The Lyric Hearing Aid amplifies and delivers sounds via air conduction to the external ear of persons with hearing loss. The microphone transforms sound waves into electrical signals and delivers it to the hearing aid circuit, which is powered by the battery. The amplification characteristics are contained in digitally programmable memory and adjustment of device parameters is achieved through the proprietary HandFit™ Fitting System and Software.

§ 874.3300 Air-conduction hearing aid.
(a)
Identification. An air-conduction hearing aid is a wearable sound-amplifying device intended to compensate for impaired hearing that conducts sound to the ear through the air. An air-conduction hearing aid is subject to the requirements in § 800.30 or § 801.422 of this chapter, as applicable. The air-conduction hearing aid generic type excludes the group hearing aid or group auditory trainer, master hearing aid, and the tinnitus masker, regulated under §§ 874.3320, 874.3330, and 874.3400, respectively.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). This device is exempt from premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

Legally Marketed Devices to Which Equivalence is Claimed:
The legally marketed predicate devices to which equivalence is claimed are:
- . The Songbird Disposable Hearing Aid, legally marketing in 2000, after the exemption of hearing aids from 510(k) Notification, effective February 19, 1998.
- The Decibel Articulate G1-P24-MS (K964603), determined to be substantially . equivalent to a pre-enactment device on December 6, 1996. This device was marketed under the name inTune®
- . The Philips XP Series (K921725), determined to be substantially equivalent to a pre-enactment device on August 11, 1992.
- . Insound Medical Lyric, (K021867) determined to be substantially equivalent to K964603, K921725 and a pre-enactment device on November 19, 2002.

Descriptive Summary of Technological Characteristics and Those of Predicate
Devices: The Lyric Hearing Aid is an air-conduction programmable hearing aid with a deep canal fitting. The hearing aid's receiver is located around the second bend, transmitting sound to the tympanic membrane. These characteristics are similar to the Philips XP series. Amplification characteristics are contained in digitally programmable memory delivered through programming, as with the Decibel Articulate Hearing Aid. The Lyric Hearing Aid is fit to the user with integrated soft retaining seals, like the Songbird Disposable Hearing Aid. Like both the Decibel and Songbird Hearing Aid, the size of the soft retaining seals is selected from a stock of available sizes. The custom battery of the Lyric Hearing Aid is discarded when the battery is depleted. Those characteristics are similar to the Songbird Disposable Hearing Aid.
Performance Data: The performance characteristics of the Lyric Hearing Aid have been evaluated in accordance with ANSI S3.22-2003, "Specification of Hearing Aid Characteristics." The devices met all applicable specifications developed by Insound Medical in accordance with design input specifications.
