Device Description
The Rexton Long Life Rx-12 is a full shell hearing aid utilizing a 675 battery and a low drain class D circuit. The combination of these to unique features gives the Rexton Long Life the ease of battery handling (a large 675 battery) and the benifits of extended battery life.

No
The description focuses on battery life and standard components, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "hearing aid," which is used to amplify sound for individuals with hearing impairment, thereby providing therapy for their condition.

No
The device description states its purpose is "To amplify and transmit sound to the ear," indicating it is a hearing aid, which assists hearing rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "full shell hearing aid utilizing a 675 battery and a low drain class D circuit," indicating it is a hardware device with electronic components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "To amplify and transmit sound to the ear." This describes a device that interacts with the body (the ear) to improve hearing, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to diagnose diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a hearing aid, which is a medical device designed to assist with hearing loss. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not contain any of the typical indicators of an IVD, such as:
    • Mention of analyzing biological specimens.
    • Mention of diagnostic purposes based on sample analysis.
    • Information about reagents, assays, or laboratory procedures.

Therefore, the Rexton Long Life Rx-12 is a hearing aid, which is a medical device, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
