No.
The device is intended as an aid in diagnosing hearing loss and fitting hearing aids, not for treating hearing loss.

Diagnostic

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "ACAM® 5 is intended as an aid in diagnosing hearing loss and fitting of hearing aids." The "Device Description" also reiterates its intention to "aid trained audiologists and hearing aid professionals in the diagnosis of hearing loss."

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description explicitly lists available hardware components, including an audiometer, control unit, test boxes, ear probe, headphones, loudspeakers, microphone, and interrupter switch. This indicates it is a system with both hardware and software, not a software-only device.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, the ACAM® 5 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
ACAM® 5 Function: The ACAM® 5 is an audiometer and related equipment used for in vivo testing of hearing. It directly interacts with the patient's ear to measure their hearing ability and aid in fitting hearing aids. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "diagnosing hearing loss and fitting of hearing aids," which are procedures performed directly on the patient.
Device Description: The description details hardware like headphones, bone conduction transducers, loudspeakers, and probes that are used in direct contact with or in close proximity to the patient's ear.
Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or using reagents, which are characteristic of IVDs.

Therefore, the ACAM® 5 falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnosis and treatment support, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

510(k) Summary, continued

Technological Characteristics

The ACAM® 5 System has substantially the same technological characteristics as the predicate, Siemens Unity 2 audiometer (K# unknown), with the HIA and Probe for use with Unity 2, cleared on June 5, 2007 under K071462.

Similarities

Both the Acousticon ACAM® 5 and the Siemens Unity 2 are modular systems intended for the diagnosis of hearing loss and optimization of the acoustical parameters of hearing aid fitting. Both the ACAM® 5 (applicant) and Siemens (predicate) systems provide modular components that can be used individually or in tandem to support processes from hearing aid fitting. Both the predicate and the applicant systems are computer controlled and include software specific for their applications, including links to the NOAH™ software applications provided by the Hearing Instrument Manufacturers' Software Association (HIMSA™). Both the applicant and the predicate systems utilize Real Ear Measurement (REM) fitting protocols that include percentile measurement to analyze the dynamic feature of amplified speech signals. Both the applicant and the predicate systems allow for the use of fitting protocols provided by the National Acoustic Laboratory (NAL-NL1) and by Dr Richard Seewald (DSL-IO). Both the predicate and applicant systems utilize optional visual stimuli that accompany ambient background sounds. Both the predicate and applicant systems offer ambient sound modules to optimize hearing aid performance in real life situations. Both Systems have an audiometer module to measure hearing losses with pure tone and speech following the requirements of ANSI S3.6.

Differences

The predicate system uses single tone frequency scaling over a range of 125 - 8,000 Hz (normal mode) and 125 - 16.000 Hz (high frequency mode), using mean background noise levels and a fixed signal to noise ratio (SNR), while the applicant system uses single tone frequency scaling over a range of 125 - 8.000 Hz and does not have a high frequency mode. The predicate system offers ambient sounds accompanied by still pictograms (SPL O gram) of environmental surroundings and two speakers, while the applicant system employs video sequences (real life fitting, or RLF sequence) with up to 12 speakers. The applicant system provides a broader menu of ambient sound selections than the predicate system. The predicate integrated system includes hearing aid programming with a Siemens hearing aid. The applicant does not include hearing aid programming.

Comparison to Predicate Device

The ACAM 5 Audiometer is equivalent to the predicate device in intended use its technological characteristics, design and function, as demonstrated in the comparison table below:

Dear Ms. Garner:

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.

10
