No
The summary describes standard signal processing and data averaging techniques for OAE measurement, with automated pass/refer based on predefined protocols. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making beyond these conventional methods.
No
The device is described as a measurement/diagnostic system used to assess cochlear function and detect otoacoustic emissions, not to treat a condition or disease.
Yes
The device is described as an "Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System" used to "assess cochlear function" and determine a "pass or refer recommendation" by measuring "evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAEs)," which directly indicates its role in diagnosing or assessing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Scout Sport system uses a "combination of hardware and software" and describes hardware components like miniature receivers and a microphone embedded in a probe.
Based on the provided information, the Scout Sport Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Scout Sport Function: The Scout Sport device works by delivering acoustic signals into the ear canal and measuring the resulting sounds (otoacoustic emissions) generated within the ear. It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to assess cochlear function by measuring OAEs, which is a physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
Therefore, the Scout Sport Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System falls under the category of a diagnostic device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Scout Sport Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System delivers controlled acoustic signals in the ear canal and measures the resulting evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) that are generated by the outer hair cells of the inner ear. The Scout Sport device performs transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE), and DPOAE Input/Output (I/O) tests.
Scout Sport is indicated for use by trained health care professionals (audiologists, physicians) and personnel (nurses, technicians) who are trained to operate the device under their supervision to perform otoacoustic emissions testing to assess cochlear function.
The device can be used for patients of all ages, from infants through adults, to include geriatic patients. The otoacoustic emissions test is especially indicated for use in testing individuals for whom behavioral results are deemed unreliable, such as infants, young children, and cognitively impaired adults.

Device Description
The Scout Sport Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System delivers controlled acoustic signals in the ear canal and measures the resulting evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) that are generated by the outer hair cells of the inner ear. The Scout Sport device performs transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE), and DPOAE Input/Output (I/O) tests.
The Scout Sport Otoacoustic Emissions Measurement System performs transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) tests. Using a combination of hardware and software, the Scout Sport system produces a controlled acoustic signal in the ear canal and measures the resulting evoked emissions that are generated by the inner ear as a result of normal hearing process. The stimuli are presented via miniature receivers and the sounds in the external ear canal are recorded via a miniature microphone, all embedded in the Bio-logic OAE probe. The system collects and averages data samples until specified measurement parameters are achieved. For transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs), the reproducibility and the difference value between the TEOAE and the noise floor amplitudes are calculated and presented to the user. For distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), the DP and noise floor amplitudes are calculated and presented to the user. A pass or refer recommendation is assigned at the end of the test automatically based on predefined test protocols and measured OAE test parameters.
DPOAE I/O is a software option. The standard DPOAE test measures otoacoustic response to a series of frequencypairs of tones, varying the frequency while keeping the level or intensity of the stimulus tones at a constant level. The DPOAE I/O software option enables the Scout Sport device user to perform DPOAE testing at different stimulus intensities in order to obtain the DPOAE Input / Output (I/O) function for user defined test frequencies, frequency ratios and intensity levels. The graphical representation of the test results in the form of stimulus level vs. DPOAE level provides an effective way for the user to view and evaluate stimulus level-sensitive information about DPOAE response.
The functionality of the Scout Sport system has been enhanced by addition of the following Scout software program modules: the Patient and Test Information database (P&TI), the BLReports application, and additional peripheral software utilities.
The Patient and Test Information database (P&TI) is used to store, display, and manage patient and test information records. The database stores the following:
- Patient demographic information such as Patient Name, . Patient ID, Doctor Information, and comments; and,
- Test demographic information such as ID. Test Dates. . and Test Results
The standalone BLReports application provides customizable reporting for Scout. The Scout application must invoke BLReports directly, passing the data necessary to create and use report templates. The report templates are made up of template components that can be added, modified or removed by the user.
The additional peripheral software utilities consist of the Feedback utility and the database Repair utility. The Feedback utility enables users to create an archive containing recent logs, databases, registry data and system information to be copied on a CD and provide to Natus Technical Support to assist in troubleshooting. The database Repair utility enables the repair and compaction of databases.
