The summary describes a bone-anchored hearing system that transmits vibrations directly to the cochlea. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The technology described is based on mechanical vibration transmission, not data processing or learning algorithms.
Yes
The device is intended to improve hearing for patients with conductive and mixed hearing losses, and single-sided deafness, which constitutes a treatment of a condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a bone-anchored hearing system that amplifies sound for individuals with hearing loss. It does not perform diagnostic functions such as identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an external sound processor unit and an implant with a skin penetrating abutment, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Ponto bone anchored hearing system is a medical device that is surgically implanted and worn externally to improve hearing. It does not analyze or test any biological samples.
- The intended use and device description clearly outline its function as a hearing aid. It transmits sound vibrations directly to the cochlea through bone conduction.
- There is no mention of any laboratory testing, analysis of bodily fluids or tissues, or diagnostic procedures.
The device is a therapeutic device designed to address hearing loss, not a diagnostic tool used to analyze samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system is intended for improvement of hearing for patients with conductive and mixed hearing losses, bilateral fitting and single sided deafness.
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system (sound processors Ponto, Ponto Pro and Ponto Pro Power and 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.

Device Description
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system consists of an external sound processor unit and an implant with a skin penetrating abutment. The implant with the abutment is surgically anchored in the bone behind the ear. Vibrations generated by the sound processor are transmitted directly through the skull bone to the cochlea as bone conduction sound processor has a coupling so that it can be easily connected to and disconnected from the abutment by the user.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Pertinent dimensions of the Ponto abutment were designed to match the respective dimensions of compatible Cochlear Baha abutments in order to permit compatibility between the Cochlear Baha sound processors and Ponto abutments/implants, and also between Ponto processors and the above specified compatible abutments from Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions. The Ponto sound processor and Ponto abutment have been tested in cross combination with the Baha sound processor with snap coupling and Baha abutment snap. Maximum release force, minimum retention force and vibration has been tested both initially on new couplings and after wear. The testing verifies the performance of the Ponto sound processor both when used on the Ponto abutment and the Baha abutment snap. In all instances the Ponto sound processor functioned as intended and the coupling forces and vibration transmission was as expected. Testing also verifies equivalent performance of the Baha sound processor when connected to either the Ponto abutment or the Baha abutment snap.

Technological Characteristics
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system consists of an external sound processor unit and an implant with a skin penetrating abutment. The implant with the abutment is surgically anchored in the bone behind the ear. Vibrations generated by the sound processor are transmitted directly through the skull bone to the cochlea as bone conduction sound processor has a coupling so that it can be easily connected to and disconnected from the abutment by the user.
Performance Data
Pertinent dimensions of the Ponto abutment were designed to match the respective dimensions of compatible Cochlear Baha abutments in order to permit compatibility between the Cochlear Baha sound processors and Ponto abutments/implants, and also between Ponto processors and the above specified compatible abutments from Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions. The Ponto sound processor and Ponto abutment have been tested in cross combination with the Baha sound processor with snap coupling and Baha abutment snap. Maximum release force, minimum retention force and vibration has been tested both initially on new couplings and after wear. The testing verifies the performance of the Ponto sound processor both when used on the Ponto abutment and the Baha abutment snap. In all instances the Ponto sound processor functioned as intended and the coupling forces and vibration transmission was as expected. Testing also verifies equivalent performance of the Baha sound processor when connected to either the Ponto abutment or the Baha abutment snap.
Substantial Equivalence
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system is as safe and effective as the Baha system and previously cleared versions of the Ponto system. The Ponto system has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences between the Ponto system and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Ponto system is substantially equivalent.

Indications for use
510(k) Number:
Device Name: Ponto Bone Anchored Hearing System
Indications for Use:
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system (sound processors Ponto, Ponto Pro Power and 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.
The Ponto sound processors are intended to be used with either the Ponto implant system or with specific compatible Baha abutments/implants from Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions (BAS) (refer to the Ponto labeling for specific compatible Cochlear models). In addition, selected Cochlear Baha sound processors can be used with the Ponto implant/abutment system (refer to the Ponto labeling for compatible Baha sound processor models).
