The Ponto bone anchored hearing implant system is intended for the following patients and indications;
- . Patient with conductive or mixed hearing losses, who can still benefit from amplification of the sound. The pure tone average (PTA) bone conduction (BC) threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz) of the indicated ear should be better than or equal to 45 dB HL for use with the Ponto and Ponto Pro sound processors, 55 dB HL for use with the Ponto Pro Power sound processor.
- . 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 10 dB 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 (i.e. single sided deafness or "SSD"). The pure tone average (PTA) air conduction (AC) threshold of the hearing ear should then be better than or equal to 20 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz).
- Also indicated for any patient who is indicated for an air-conduction contralateral routing of . signals (AC CROS) hearing aid, but who for some reason cannot or will not use an AC CROS.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification decision letter from the FDA for the Oticon Medical AB Ponto Bone Anchored Hearing Implant System. The document confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
The document in the prompt does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert involvement in a study. It is a regulatory approval letter, not a study report. Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based solely on the provided text.
The closest information available is the Indications for Use statement (Page 2), which outlines the patient criteria for which the device is intended. This specifies target hearing loss levels (e.g., "better than or equal to 45 dB HL" for certain processors) and conditions (conductive, mixed, or single-sided deafness). However, these are eligibility criteria for patients, not acceptance criteria for the device's performance measured in a study.

Dear Ms. Jernby:
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.
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance.

Indications for use
ん112053 510(k) Number: _
Device Name: Ponto Bone Anchored Hearing Implant System
Indications for Use:
The Ponto bone anchored hearing implant system is intended for the following patients and indications;
- . Patient with conductive or mixed hearing losses, who can still benefit from amplification of the sound. The pure tone average (PTA) bone conduction (BC) threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz) of the indicated ear should be better than or equal to 45 dB HL for use with the Ponto and Ponto Pro sound processors, 55 dB HL for use with the Ponto Pro Power sound processor.
- . 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 10 dB 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 (i.e. single sided deafness or "SSD"). The pure tone average (PTA) air conduction (AC) threshold of the hearing ear should then be better than or equal to 20 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz).
- Also indicated for any patient who is indicated for an air-conduction contralateral routing of . signals (AC CROS) hearing aid, but who for some reason cannot or will not use an AC CROS.
The placement of a bone anchored implant is contraindicated for patient below the age of 5.

§ 874.3302 Bone-conduction hearing aid.
(a)
Identification. A bone-conduction hearing aid is a wearable sound-amplifying device intended to compensate for impaired hearing and that conducts sound to the inner ear through the skull. The non-implantable components of a bone-conduction hearing aid, such as the external sound processor, are subject to the requirements in § 801.422 of this chapter.(b)
Classification. Class II.
