The summary describes a bone-anchored hearing system with updated hardware and software features for sound processing and directionality, but there is no mention of AI or ML. The focus is on traditional signal processing and hardware improvements.
Yes
The device is intended for improvements with conductive or mixed hearing losses and single-sided deafness, aiming to amplify sound and improve hearing, which directly addresses a health condition.
No
The device is a sound processor intended to improve hearing by amplifying sound and transmitting vibrations, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "bone anchored hearing system" consisting of a "sound processor connected to an implant with a skin penetrating abutment." This involves significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Ponto 3 sound processors are described as a bone anchored hearing system that transmits sound vibrations through the skull bone to the cochlea to improve hearing.
- Intended Use/Indications: The intended use and indications clearly state that the device is for improving hearing in patients with specific types of hearing loss. It does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
- Device Description: The description details the mechanical and electronic components of the sound processor and its connection to an implant, all related to sound transmission and processing, not laboratory analysis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on functional testing, firmware validation, electromagnetic compatibility, and electroacoustical performance – all related to the device's operation as a hearing aid, not diagnostic testing of biological samples.
Therefore, the Ponto 3 sound processors fall under the category of a hearing aid or a similar type of medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Intended use:
The Ponto 3 sound processors are intended for improvements with conductive or mixed hearing losses, whether unilaterally or bilaterally fitted, or for those with single sided deafness.
Indications for use:
Ponto 3, Ponto 3 Power and Ponto 3 SuperPower are 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 3 sound processor, 55 dB HL for use with the Ponto 3 Power sound processor and 65 dB HL for use with the Ponto 3 SuperPower 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.
· Indicated for 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 3, Ponto 3 Power and Ponto 3 SuperPower 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 3 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 3, Ponto 3 Power and Ponto 3 SuperPower are modifications of the previously cleared Ponto Plus and Ponto Plus Power (K132775) and represent three latest sound processor models in the Ponto bone anchored hearing system. (Hereinafter referred to as the Ponto 3 sound processors or as the Ponto 3 family when referring to all three models and Ponto 3, Ponto 3 Power and Ponto 3 SuperPower when referring to the 3 different models.) A bone anchored hearing system consists of a sound processor connected to an implant with a skin penetrating abutment. The implant is surgically anchored in the skull bone behind the ear. Vibrations generated by the sound processor are transmitted via the implant directly through the skull bone to the cochlea as bone conduction sound. The sound processor has a coupling so that it can be easily connected to and disconnected from the abutment by the user. Alternatively, it can be connected to head band accessories, to function as a conventional bone conductor. Using a computer based fitting system the sound processor can be adjusted to the patient's individual hearing requirements. The Ponto 3 family is intended to be used with either the Ponto implant system or with specific compatible BAHA abutments/implants from Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions (BAS).
The Ponto 3 family incorporates Inium Sense platform that is also used in the predicate Oticon A/S air conduction hearing aids legally marketed as class II. 510(k)-exempt devices. With the Injum Sense platform the microphone directionality system is updated. Furthermore, for Ponto 3 wireless transmission is enabled allowing for binaural signal processing.
In addition to the regular and power version sound processors, the Ponto 3 family introduces a SuperPower version with UltraDrive, consisting of a redesigned amplifier and optimized transducer. Ponto 3 SuperPower provides equivalent maximum force output (MFO) as the Baha Cordelle II, previously cleared through K080363, and thus expanded indication up to and including 65 dB HL is proposed.
This submission also includes minor modifications to the previously cleared accessories Genie Medical fitting software, Soft band and Streamer.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Testing of the Ponto 3 sound processors includes functional testing and firmware validation.
Ponto 3 SuperPower sound processors have been tested to (1) not emit excessive amounts of electromagnetic energy (EMC emissions); (2) operate as intended without performance degradation in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance (EMC immunity) and ESD. Also electroacoustical verification has been conducted including tests for battery voltage and current consumption, frequency range, Peak OFLs at 90, 60 and 50 dB SPL, total harmonic distortion and equivalent input noise. The current consumption and battery voltage have been verified for the Ponto 3 and Ponto 3 Power sound processors. The Ponto 3 Power hardware is identical to Ponto Plus and Ponto Plus Power hardware. Update from the previously cleared Inium platform to Inium Sense and addition of the new sound processing features do not affect the electromagnetic compatibility or acoustical performance and thus no new verification tests regarding EMC or electroacoustical performance have been carried out on the Ponto 3 and Ponto 3 Power sound processors. Furthermore, bench tests were conducted to verify the binaural coordination and updated microphone directionality system.
The above mentioned tests verify that the Ponto 3 sound processors are equivalent to the Ponto Plus sound processors and that the binaural signal processing and directionality features are functionally equivalent to the same of the predicate Oticon A/S air conduction hearing aids legally marketed as class II, 510(k)-exempt devices. Moreover, the maximum output force measurements show that the MFO and gain of the Ponto 3 SuperPower is equivalent or higher when compared to the output of the predicate Baha Cordelle II sound processor. In all instances, the Ponto 3 sound processors functioned as intended and the performance observed was as expected. Hence we have come to the conclusion that further testing will not raise new issues of safety and efficacy.

family is intended to be used with either the Ponto implant system or with specific compatible BAHA abutments/implants from Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions (BAS).
The Ponto 3 family incorporates Inium Sense platform that is also used in the predicate Oticon A/S air conduction hearing aids legally marketed as class II. 510(k)-exempt devices. With the Injum Sense platform the microphone directionality system is updated. Furthermore, for Ponto 3 wireless transmission is enabled allowing for binaural signal processing.
In addition to the regular and power version sound processors, the Ponto 3 family introduces a SuperPower version with UltraDrive, consisting of a redesigned amplifier and optimized transducer. Ponto 3 SuperPower provides equivalent maximum force output (MFO) as the Baha Cordelle II, previously cleared through K080363, and thus expanded indication up to and including 65 dB HL is proposed.
This submission also includes minor modifications to the previously cleared accessories Genie Medical fitting software, Soft band and Streamer.
Performance data
Testing of the Ponto 3 sound processors includes functional testing and firmware validation.
Ponto 3 SuperPower sound processors have been tested to (1) not emit excessive amounts of electromagnetic energy (EMC emissions); (2) operate as intended without performance degradation in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance (EMC immunity) and ESD. Also electroacoustical verification has been conducted including tests for battery voltage and current consumption, frequency range, Peak OFLs at 90, 60 and 50 dB SPL, total harmonic distortion and equivalent input noise. The current consumption and battery voltage have been verified for the Ponto 3 and Ponto 3 Power sound processors. The Ponto 3 Power hardware is identical to Ponto Plus and Ponto Plus Power hardware. Update from the previously cleared Inium platform to Inium Sense and addition of the new sound processing features do not affect the electromagnetic compatibility or acoustical performance and thus no new verification tests regarding EMC or electroacoustical performance have been carried out on the Ponto 3 and Ponto 3 Power sound processors. Furthermore, bench tests were conducted to verify the binaural coordination and updated microphone directionality system.
The above mentioned tests verify that the Ponto 3 sound processors are equivalent to the Ponto Plus sound processors and that the binaural signal processing and directionality features are functionally equivalent to the same of the predicate Oticon A/S air conduction hearing aids legally marketed as class II, 510(k)-exempt devices. Moreover, the maximum output force measurements show that the MFO and gain of the Ponto 3 SuperPower is equivalent or higher when compared to the output of the predicate Baha Cordelle II sound processor. In all instances, the Ponto 3 sound processors functioned as intended and the performance observed was as expected. Hence we have come to the conclusion that further testing will not raise new issues of safety and efficacy.
Substantial Equivalence
The Ponto 3 sound processors have the same intended use as the Ponto Plus sound processors and Ponto 3 and Ponto 3 Power have the same indications as the Ponto Plus and Ponto Plus Power, respectively. Ponto 3 SuperPower has the same indications as Ponto Plus Power, expect the bone-conduction hearing threshold that is 55 dB HL for Ponto Plus Power and 65 dB HL for Ponto 3 SuperPower. Indications of the Ponto 3 SuperPower are the same as those of the Baha Cordelle II. The principles of operation of the Ponto 3 sound processors are the same as those of the Ponto Plus sound processors.
6
The sound processing platform and the wireless technology in the Ponto 3 sound processors are the same as those used in the legally marketed, class II 510(k)-exempt Oticon A/S air conduction hearing aids. The maximum force output and gain of the Ponto 3 SuperPower are equivalent or higher in comparison to those provided by the Baha Cordelle II. The minor technological differences between the Ponto 3 sound processors and their predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the Ponto 3 sound processors are as safe and effective as the Ponto Plus sound processors and that the Ponto 3 SuperPower is as safe and effective as the Baha Cordelle II sound processor. Thus the Ponto 3 sound processors are substantially equivalent.
