Intended Use

The Titan with DPOAE440 is intended for use in the audiologic evaluation and documentation of ear disorders using Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions. The target population for Titan with DPOAE440 includes all ages.

The Titan with ABRIS440 is intended for use in the audiologic evaluation and documentation of ear and nerve disorders using auditory evoked potentials from the inner ear, the auditory nerve and the brainstem. The target population for Titan with ABRIS440 is newborns.

Device Description

The instrument is audiometric equipment used for testing middle ear, inner ear and brainstem abnormalities.

The Titan is a combination of:

  • Audiometric device for measurement of aural acoustic impedance (IMP) (Cleared . under K083861)
  • Audiometric device for measurement of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) .
  • Audiometric device for measurement of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) ●

The Titan can have one of three functions depending on license:

The Titan IMP test is intended to change the air pressure in the external auditory canal and measure and graph the mobility characteristics of the tympanic membrane to evaluate the functional condition of the middle ear.

The Titan OAE test generates an acoustic stimulus in the ear canal at a moderate intensity level. The stimulus vibrates a thin membrane in the cochlear, and activates the outer hair cells located on the membrane. This activation is propagated back through the middle ear as sound into the ear canal. Microphone(s) detects OAE-related sounds.

The Titan ABR test produces a short acoustic stimulus and measures via cutaneous electrodes the auditory evoked potentials from the inner ear, the auditory nerve and the brainstem. The test uses an automatic detection algorithm to determine if an ABR is evoked in response to the short acoustic stimulus. The output of the device is either PASS (ABR detected) or REFER (ABR is not detected).

The Titan with DPOAE440 is intended as clinical audiometer. The Titan with ABRIS440 is intended as a screener audiometer.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The provided document states: "No clinical tests were performed". Instead, the device's substantial equivalence was determined based on its conformity to international standards and comparison to predicate devices, which implies that no specific test set of patient data was used for a clinical performance study as part of this submission. Therefore, data provenance is not applicable.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable, as no clinical tests were performed and no ground truth was established by experts for a test set in this submission. The comparison relies on technical specifications and international standards.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical tests were performed and no ground truth was established by experts for a test set in this submission.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. The document does not describe an MRMC study or AI assistance. The device is a diagnostic tool, not an AI-powered diagnostic aide.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

For the Titan with ABRIS440, the device includes an "automatic detection algorithm to determine if an ABR is evoked in response to the short acoustic stimulus. The output of the device is either PASS (ABR detected) or REFER (ABR is not detected)." This indicates a standalone algorithmic performance component. However, no specific standalone performance study results, such as sensitivity or specificity, are presented in this submission. The study relies on comparison to predicate devices and adherence to standards.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

Given the statement "No clinical tests were performed," there was no direct patient-level ground truth established for the purpose of this 510(k) submission. The ground truth for the equivalence claims is implicitly based on the established safety and performance characteristics of the predicate devices and adherence to relevant international standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60645-7, IEC 60645-6).

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable, as no clinical tests were performed and the device is not described as utilizing a machine learning algorithm that would require a training set in the context of this 510(k) submission.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as no training set was used in the context of this 510(k) submission.

Technological Characteristics

Titan consists of a handheld unit named Titan, Titan Cradle and PC software (Titan Suite, Titan modules/ Titan Applications). The measurements are controlled by the handheld unit. A license system makes it possible within each configuration to select which functionality the user wants to be incorporated in the system.

A connection box (shoulder box) enables different types of accessories to be connected to the platform (depending on the module)

The Titan platform can connect to PC software via a Bluetooth connection.

Test summary

The Titan was tested according to current standards for OAE and ABR and was found to conform to the standards. No clinical tests were performed, but based on the fulfillment of the international standards for OAE and ABR, and the comparison to predicate devices we believe the device is safe and effective.

Conclusion

We have compared the intended use and performance characteristics with the predicate devices. The Titan was tested according to current standards and the differences found between the devices were related to functionality, not in relation to safety and efficiency. The Titan conforms to the current standards.

The Titan with DPOAE440 and Titan with ABRIS440 were found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in technological characteristics and indications for use.

Dear Mr. Nielsen:

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. 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.
