No
The document describes a physical medical device (otosurgical prosthesis) made of various materials and designs, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is used to treat pathologies of the middle ear and restore hearing, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
This device is an otosurgical prosthesis, an implanted device used to treat existing middle ear pathologies, not to diagnose them. It is a therapy/treatment device.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "Otosurgical prosthesis of the middle ear" manufactured from various physical materials (titanium, polyethylene, etc.) and implanted permanently. This indicates a physical hardware device, not software.
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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is an "Otosurgical prosthesis of the middle ear, implanted, in a permanent manner". This means it is a device that is surgically placed inside the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to replace or augment the bones of the middle ear to address hearing loss caused by various pathologies. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of an implantable medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
For replacement for any or all of the bones of the ossicular chain in the middle ear
Audio prostheses are successfully employed in case of otosclerosis, stapedo-vestibular ankylosis, outxome of otitis media, trauma, middle ear congenital malformations. Possible complication due to the use of prostheses in the middle ear include: fixation, displacement, extrusion of the prosthesis, incus necrosis, tympanic membrane perforation, perilymph fistula, labyrinthitis, otitis media, occlusion of oval and round window.

§ 874.3495 Total ossicular replacement prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A total ossicular replacement prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted for the total functional reconstruction of the ossicular chain and facilitates the conduction of sound waves from the tympanic membrance to the inner ear. The device is made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene with vitreous carbon fibers composite, porous polyethylene, or from a combination of these materials.(b)
Classification. Class II.

predicate devices:
The Audio Prosthesis - Audio Technologies, are substantially equivalent to Richards - marketed by Smith & Nephew, and/or Xomed - marketed by Xomed, and/or Exmoor - marketed by Exmoor Plastics and also Audio Technologies prosthesis.
Description:
Otosurgical prosthesis of the middle ear, implanted, in a permanent manner, in patients affected with pathologies of the middle ear.
Otosurgical prosthesis of the middle hear, are manufactured from a wide variety of materials: titanium, poliethylene (PE), stainless steel, hydroxylapatite (HA). platinum (Pt). politetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), gold, polimetilxilossano (silicon) and Nitinol, or combination of these materials.
Numerous designs are available for replacement of any or all of the bones of the ossicular chain.
Intended use:
For replacement for any or all of the bones of the ossicular chain in the middle ear
Indications for use
Audio prostheses are successfully employed in case of otosclerosis, stapedo-vestibular ankylosis, outxome of otitis media, trauma, middle ear congenital malformations. Possible complication due to the use of prostheses in the middle ear include: fixation, displacement, extrusion of the prosthesis, incus necrosis, tympanic membrane perforation, perilymph fistula, labyrinthitis, otitis media, occlusion of oval and round window.
Some of the prostheses are manufactured in different lengths, some others shall be trimmed during the surgical operation. Nevertheless the length of all the prostheses should be carefully assessed by means of a microsurgical gauge (code 02.14)
Comparison to predicate devices:
These devices have the same indications for use (Partial / Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis, for reconstruction of the ossicular chain that has lost its function, due to disease, trauma, or congenital defect), the same technological characteristics, i.e. materials (all widely accepted for middle ear reconstruction), and the same general design.
Slight design differences between Audio Technologies Prosthesis and the predicate devices should not affect the safety and effectiveness

Dear Dr. Beoni :
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.
