The summary describes a bone conduction hearing system with different configurations and programming options, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is intended to treat hearing loss by amplifying sound and transmitting it through bone conduction.
No
Explanation: The device is a bone conduction hearing system intended for amplification of sound for patients with specific types of hearing loss, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states the system consists of sound processors and accessories, including a magnetic implant, headband, and softband, which are hardware components. While there is mention of software for programming, the device is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, 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, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Otomag Alpha I Sound Processor is a hearing system that works by transmitting sound vibrations through bone conduction to improve hearing. It directly interacts with the patient's body (either through skin contact or an implant) to deliver sound.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is to process and transmit sound, not to perform diagnostic tests on bodily fluids or tissues.
Therefore, the Otomag Alpha I Sound Processor falls under the category of a therapeutic or assistive medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Otomag Alpha I Sound Processor is intended for use with the Otomag Headband or Olomag Softband (no age limitations), or with the Otomag Osseointegrated Magnetic Implant (patients 5 years of age and up) for the following patients and indications:
- Patients with conductive or mixed hearing losses, who can still benefit from amplification of sound. The pure tone average (PTA) bone conduction (BC) threshold for the indicated ear should be better than 45 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz).
- Bilateral fitting is applicable for most patients having a symmetrically conductive or mixed hearing loss. The difference between the left and right sides' BC thresholds should be less than 10dB on average measured at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz, or less than 15 dB at individual frequencies.
- Patients who have a profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the opposite ear, who for some reason will not or cannot use an AC CROS. The pure tone average (PTA) air conduction (AC) threshold of the hearing ear should be better than 20 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz).

Device Description
The Otomag Bone Conduction Hearing System is a family of sound processors and accessories that operate on the principle of bone conduction of sound vibrations. The Otomag System consists of two distinct configurations; Alpha 1 (S) and Alpha 1 (M). This 510(k) is being submitted to add the Alpha 1 (M) configuration to the existing product family.
In the Otomag Alpha 1 (S), the Otomag Sound Processor is attached magnetically to a headband or softband. The headband or softband holds the sound processor against the head and vibration is transduced through direct contact with the patient's skin and the bone below.
In the Otomag Alpha 1 (M), the Otomag Sound Processor is attached magnetically to an implanted magnet assembly. The magnetic field holds the sound processor against the head and vibration is transduced through direct contact with the patient's skin and the bone below. A variety of magnetic spacers, each with a different magnetic strength, are provided with the Alpha 1(M) configuration to allow adjustment of the magnetic field strength that holds the sound processor against the head.
The magnetic implant of the system is provided clean and non-pyrogenic, but is not sterile. The implant is intended to be sterilization at the healthcare facility immediately prior to implementation.
The Otomag System is designed for use for those patients with conductive hearing loss, those patients who have sensorineural hearing loss up to 45 dB in combination with their conductive loss, and single sided deafness as defined in the indications for use. The prescriptive formula and adjustments available to the audiologist in the software allow for programming the Otomag System for individual patient hearing loss.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical data on eighty-six (86) Alpha 1(M) devices implanted into 57 patients ranging in age from 5 vears to 67 years was submitted in support of the safety and effectiveness of the Alpha 1(M) configuration of the device. The mean follow up time for the study was 1.6 years from the time of implant, with a range of 0.5 years. The study showed the following important results:
- No surgical or post-surgical infections or adverse events associated with implant were reported as a part of the trial.
- No tissue necrosis or other significant tissue problems were reported in any of the 57 subjects at any time in the trial.
- A small percentage of subjects (8%) showed some initial redness under the magnetic spacer after installing the Alpha 1 (M) sound processor assembly. These issues were resolved by changing the strength of the magnetic spacers. Data showed none of these patients had recurring problems with pressure points or reddening.
- None of the subjects complained of issues, either mild or severe, of external processor dislodgement.
- Unaided and aided hearing performance is shown in the following table:
