Intended Use
The ICS Chartr EP 200 is indicated for auditory evoked potential testing as an aid in detecting hearing loss and lesions in the auditory pathway.
Device Description
The ICS CHARTR EP 200 is a PC-based system, which consists of software modules for installation on a PC, an isolation transformer, a hardware platform, pre-amp , a mains adapter, stimulation devices and recording devices, The stimulation and recording devices are connected to the pre-amp, which is connected to the hardware platform, which is connected to the PC via USB cable - no hardware installation inside the PC is required.
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts in the device description, intended use, or other sections.

No
The device is used for "detecting hearing loss and lesions," which indicates a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.

Yes
The device is indicated for "auditory evoked potential testing as an aid in detecting hearing loss and lesions in the auditory pathway," which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an isolation transformer, hardware platform, pre-amp, mains adapter, stimulation devices, and recording devices, in addition to the software.

Based on the provided information, the ICS Chartr EP 200 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "auditory evoked potential testing as an aid in detecting hearing loss and lesions in the auditory pathway." This involves measuring physiological responses from the patient's body (electrical signals from the auditory pathway) rather than analyzing samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details hardware for stimulating and recording electrical signals from the patient. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the ICS Chartr EP 200 is a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
