None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like training/test sets, performance metrics associated with AI/ML, or image processing which is often a domain for AI/ML in medical devices. The intended use and device description (though not found) point towards a measurement device for hearing aids, which typically relies on standard electrical and acoustical engineering principles.

No.
The device is described as performing measurements of hearing aids, which indicates it is a diagnostic or testing tool for the hearing aids themselves, not a tool for directly treating a patient's condition.

No
The device measures properties of hearing aids (electro-acoustical, telecoil, battery current measurements) and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition in a human.

Unknown

The provided summary lacks a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. The intended use describes measurements of hearing aids, which are hardware devices, but it doesn't clarify if the device performing these measurements is software or hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to perform measurements of hearing aids (electro-acoustical, telecoil, and battery current). This is a measurement of a medical device, not a biological sample from a human body.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: IVDs are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. This device does not interact with or analyze any biological samples.
  • Focus on Device Performance: The measurements described are related to the performance and function of the hearing aid itself.

Therefore, this device falls outside the scope of what is considered an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 874.3310 Hearing aid calibrator and analysis system.

(a)
Identification. A hearing aid calibrator and analysis system is an electronic reference device intended to calibrate and assess the electroacoustic frequency and sound intensity characteristics emanating from a hearing aid, master hearing aid, group hearing aid or group auditory trainer. The device consists of an acoustic complex of known cavity volume, a sound level meter, a microphone, oscillators, frequency counters, microphone amplifiers, a distoration analyzer, a chart recorder, and a hearing aid test box.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

Dear Ms. Kristina Frye:

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 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
