The summary describes a bone-anchored hearing system that transmits sound through bone conduction. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The device appears to be a mechanical and electronic system for sound amplification and transmission.
Yes
The device is intended to treat hearing loss by amplifying sound and transmitting it directly to the cochlea, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
This device is a hearing system designed to facilitate sound perception in individuals with specific types of hearing loss by transmitting vibrations through the skull bone to the cochlea. Its purpose is to aid hearing, not to diagnose a condition. The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section describes the patient populations it serves based on pre-existing diagnostic thresholds (e.g., "BC threshold ... should be better than or equal to 45 dB HL"), but the device itself does not perform the measurement or interpretation for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an external sound processor unit and an implant with a skin penetrating abutment, indicating significant hardware components.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Ponto bone anchored hearing system is a medical device designed to improve hearing by transmitting sound vibrations directly to the cochlea through bone conduction. It is a physical device implanted in the skull and an external sound processor.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description of the device and its intended use does not involve the analysis of any biological samples from the patient. It is a system that interacts with the patient's physical structure (skull bone) to deliver sound.
Therefore, the Ponto bone anchored hearing system falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Ponto bone anchored hearing system (Ponto sound processors 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, Ponto Pro and Ponto Plus sound processors, 55 dB HL for use with Ponto Pro Power and Ponto Plus Power sound processors.
- 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/implant 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).

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 is placed in or around the mastoid region of the skull on either one or both sides. The implant is then used as anchorage for the skin penetrating abutment that connects to the external sound processor. Vibrations generated by the sound processor are transmitted directly through the skull bone to the cochlea as bone conduction sound. The sound processor has a coupling so that it can easily be connected to and disconnected from the abutment by the user. This submission concerns the abutment component.
The modified abutment component within the Ponto bone anchored hearing system has the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared abutments. The modified Ponto bone anchored hearing system is the same device as the cleared Ponto bone anchored hearing system (K112053, K121228, K132775) except for the following modification:
- . Expansion of the abutment product line from 6mm, 9mm and 12mm to add a 14 mm abutment

processors, 55 dB HL for use with Ponto Pro Power and Ponto Plus Power sound processors.
- 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 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).
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 is placed in or around the mastoid region of the skull on either one or both sides. The implant is then used as anchorage for the skin penetrating abutment that connects to the external sound processor. Vibrations generated by the sound processor are transmitted directly through the skull bone to the cochlea as bone conduction sound. The sound processor has a coupling so that it can easily be connected to and disconnected from the abutment by the user. This submission concerns the abutment component.
The modified abutment component within the Ponto bone anchored hearing system has the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared abutments. The modified Ponto bone anchored hearing system is the same device as the cleared Ponto bone anchored hearing system (K112053, K121228, K132775) except for the following modification:
- . Expansion of the abutment product line from 6mm, 9mm and 12mm to add a 14 mm abutment
Performance Data
The modified device has been tested in comparison to the previously cleared device to verify the performance to support safety and effectiveness. Performance data. including bench testing of mechanical forces, show that the modified device is as safe and effective as the previously cleared device.
Substantial Equivalence
The modified Ponto bone anchored hearing system has the same intended use and indications, the same principles of operation, and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared Ponto bone anchored hearing system (K112053, K121228, K132775). The only difference is the addition of a longer abutment to the product range. Performance data demonstrates that the modified device is as safe and effective as the previously cleared Ponto bone anchored hearing system and will perform as intended during use. Thus, the modified Ponto bone anchored hearing system is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
