Intended Use
The Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System is intended to provide a means to create a myringotomy with insertion of a preloaded Paparella type tympanostomy tube. Conditions for which tympanostomy tubes are indicated include: Chronic otitis media with effusion (serous, mucoid, or purulent) Recurrent otitis media that fails to respond to conventional medical treatment A history of persistent high negative middle ear pressure which may be associated with conductive hearing loss, otalgia, vertigo and/or tinnitus. Retraction pocket of the tympanic membrane.
Device Description
The Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System is a device that penetrates the tympanic membrane and inserts the Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube with a button controlled activation. The Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System is a mechanical device that can create a myringotomy and deliver the Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube. The Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube is provided pre-loaded in the subject device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the device and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is intended to be used for creating a myringotomy and inserting a tympanostomy tube, which is indicated for treating conditions like chronic otitis media with effusion, recurrent otitis media, and persistent high negative middle ear pressure, all of which are therapeutic interventions for ear conditions.

No

Explanation: The device is designed to create a myringotomy and insert a tympanostomy tube, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones. Its purpose is to treat conditions like chronic otitis media with effusion, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "mechanical device" that "penetrates the tympanic membrane and inserts the Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube." This indicates a physical, hardware-based device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System is a surgical device used to create an opening in the eardrum and insert a tube directly into the middle ear. It is a physical intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating conditions of the middle ear.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device for penetrating the tympanic membrane and inserting a tube.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used on the tympanic membrane and middle ear, which are parts of the patient's body.

The device is a surgical instrument used for a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Acclarent conducted a prospective, multi-center, single arm clinical study to evaluate the performance and safety of the Acclarent TTDS device for the placement of the Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube in subject ears indicated for such treatment for chronic OME or recurrent AOM.
A total of 101 ears were enrolled in 53 pediatric subjects by 4 investigators at 4 study sites. All study procedures were performed under general anesthesia in the operating room. The overall Device Success rate of the TTDS device was 94% (95/101). The 6% device non-success rate was attributable to failure of the devices to fully deploy the tubes across the tympanic membranes. This anticipated failure mode can occur if the device tip is not fully registered against the tympanic membrane. This mode was not associated with any adverse sequelae and in each case, standard otologic tools were used to manually place a tympanostomy tube. 100% (101/101) of enrolled ears received their indicated treatment.
At the one-week post-procedure follow-up visit, retention of the Acclarent Tympanostomy Tube was observed at a rate of 98.95% (94/95). Consistent with the rates reported in the clinical literature, tube occlusion was observed in 5% of tubes at follow-up: the incidence of non-functional tympanostomy tubes caused by occlusion is relatively common, ranging from 7% to 37% (Tsao, BA et al. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 128(6):870-874, 2001) and has been known to occur in a wide variety of tubes (Weigel, MT et al. Laryngoscope, 99:252-256, 1989).
The Tympanostomy Tube Delivery System met all the study performance acceptance criteria.

§ 874.3880 Tympanostomy tube.

(a)
Identification. A tympanostomy tube is a device that is intended to be implanted for ventilation or drainage of the middle ear. The device is inserted through the tympanic membrane to permit a free exchange of air between the outer ear and middle ear. A type of tympanostomy tube known as the malleous clip tube attaches to the malleous to provide middle ear ventilation. The device is made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, silicon elastomer, or porous polyethylene.(b)
Classification. Class II.
