No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool used to screen for and characterize hearing disorders. It does not provide treatment.
Yes
The device screens for hearing disorders, automatically interprets results to 'Pass' or 'Refer', and performs analytical functions for clinical investigations to characterize and monitor peripheral auditory function, all of which fall under diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "compact, handheld, battery-powered electronic device" and mentions hardware components like a "probe" and "electrodes," indicating it is a physical device with integrated software, not software only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device records physiological responses (OAE and ABR) to sound directly from the patient's ear and brain. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to screen for hearing disorders and characterize peripheral auditory function by measuring these physiological responses.
Therefore, while it is a medical device used for diagnosis and screening, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device is indicated for use when there is a requirement to screen for hearing disorders by objective and non-invasive means. ABR, TEOAE and DPOAE screening test results are automatically interpreted and a clear 'Pass' or 'Refer' result is presented to the user who will be a trained screener, audiologist or medical professional. Use of the device is indicated when the patient is unable to give reliable voluntary responses to sound, especially with infants. Use of the device facilitates the early detection of hearing loss and its characterization.
The TEOAE and DPOAE analytical functions of the device are indicated when objective non-invasive clinical investigations require the characterization and monitoring of the functional status of the peripheral auditory function. For this purpose the device is intended to be used by audiologically skilled professionals. These TEOAE and DPOAE tests are applicable to populations of any age to obtain objective evidence of peripheral auditory function.

Device Description
The Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device is a compact, handheld, batterypowered electronic device which records physiological responses to sound for the purpose of hearing testing. The device records two responses of the auditory system to sound, namely the otoacoustic emission (OAE) response from the inner ear and the auditory brainstem response (ABR) from the brain. The OAE response is acoustically stimulated and recorded via an insert earphone device called a 'probe'. The ABR response is also acoustically stimulated via the OAE probe but is recorded electrically via self-adhesive conducting pads called 'electrodes', which are placed on the scalp.
The device provides-
- A hearing screening function based on the detection of either OAE or ABR responses
- An analysis of OAE responses for use in the clinical investigation of hearing disorders.
For hearing screening purposes the responses are automatically analyzed and interpreted to give an unambiguous Pass / Refer result. A 'Pass' result means that normally expected responses to the primary speech frequency sounds have been positively identified and no further audiological investigation is indicated. A 'Refer' result means that normally expected responses have not been identified indicating further audiological investigation unless a poor test environment is indicated in which case a retest under better conditions is recommended.
The Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR provides identical OAE analyses to the predicate Otoport OAE device, which is incorporated in the new device. The ABR screening function of the new device uses the same conventional ABR technologies used by the predicate devices. Tests have demonstrated the device to perform well in the clinical environment and to deliver high sensitivity and specificity as a screener.

Device Description:
The Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device is a compact, handheld, batterypowered electronic device which records physiological responses to sound for the purpose of hearing testing. The device records two responses of the auditory system to sound, namely the otoacoustic emission (OAE) response from the inner ear and the auditory brainstem response (ABR) from the brain. The OAE response is acoustically stimulated and recorded via an insert earphone device called a 'probe'. The ABR response is also acoustically stimulated via the OAE probe but is recorded electrically via self-adhesive conducting pads called 'electrodes', which are placed on the scalp.
The device provides-
- A hearing screening function based on the detection of either OAE or ABR responses
- An analysis of OAE responses for use in the clinical investigation of hearing disorders.

For hearing screening purposes the responses are automatically analyzed and interpreted to give an unambiguous Pass / Refer result. A 'Pass' result means that normally expected responses to the primary speech frequency sounds have been positively identified and no further audiological investigation is indicated. A 'Refer' result means that normally expected responses have not been identified indicating further audiological investigation unless a poor test environment is indicated in which case a retest under better conditions is recommended.
The Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR provides identical OAE analyses to the predicate Otoport OAE device, which is incorporated in the new device. The ABR screening function of the new device uses the same conventional ABR technologies used by the predicate devices. Tests have demonstrated the device to perform well in the clinical environment and to deliver high sensitivity and specificity as a screener.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Otodynamics Otoport or Otocheck OAE+ABR has the same fundamental intended use as the three predicate devices namely use in screening for hearing-related disorders. The indications for use of the two predicate devices which include both OAE and ABR screening methodologies are comparable to that of the Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR. The differences that exist in the detailed implementation of these methodologies do not alter efficacy or efficiency of the Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device for screening. Therefore, the Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR has the same intended use as the predicate devices.
The Otodynamics Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device is indicated for use:
"when there is a requirement to screen for hearing disorders by objective and noninvasive means. ABR, TEOAE and DPOAE screening test results are automatically interpreted and a clear 'Pass' or 'Refer' result is presented to the user who will be a trained screener, audiologist or medical professional. Use of the device is indicated when the patient is unable to give reliable voluntary responses to sound, especially with infants. Use of the device facilitates the early detection of hearing loss and its characterization.
The TEOAE and DPOAE analytical functions of the device are indicated when objective non-invasive clinical investigations require the characterization and monitoring of the functional status of the peripheral auditory function. For this purpose the device is intended to be used by audiologists or other audiologically skilled professionals. These TEOAE and DPOAE tests are applicable to populations of any age to obtain objective evidence of peripheral auditory function."

Technological Characteristics
The Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR has the identical otoacoustic emission (OAE) based functions compared to the Otodynamics' Otoport device [K072033]. The Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR device only differs from Otodynamics' Otoport device [K072033] by the inclusion of an auditory brainstem response (ABR) screening function comparable to that included in the Audioscreener [K024205] and the GN Otometrics AccuScreen [K132957] devices. Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR is also comparable to the Audioscreener and the AccuScreen with respect to the combination of OAE and ABR screening functions in one instrument.
Any differences in technological characteristics (e.g., design, materials) between the Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR and the predicate devices do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions. In addition, accepted scientific methods exist for assessing the effect of these new characteristics, and have been applied.
Performance
The Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR meets the requirements of a hearing screener met by the predicate devices viz. in that it is efficient in the detection of normal healthy ABR and OAE responses (i.e., high specificity), and reliable in its ability to detect the absence of ABR and OAE (i.e., high sensitivity). Based on the results of the bench testing validated by clinical evaluations, the Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR is adequately designed for its intended use and this supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
Conclusion
The Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR has the same intended use and comparable technological characteristics as the predicates. Any differences in technological characteristics between the Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR and the predicates do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions. In addition, accepted scientific methods exist for assessing the effect of these new characteristics. Bench performance testing and testing in the clinical environment demonstrate that the functionality, integrity, and safety of the Otoport/Otocheck OAE+ABR are adequate for its intended use and support a determination of substantial equivalence to marketed devices.
