No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "hearing instrument" which amplifies and transmits sound to the ear, indicating it is used to treat or alleviate a hearing impairment.

No

The device is described as an amplification and transmission device for sound, specifically a hearing instrument. Its intended use is to aid hearing, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "programmable behind-the-ear hearing instrument," which is a hardware device.

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 to improve hearing, not a device used to examine specimens from the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description of a "Programmable behind-the-ear hearing instrument" further confirms its function as a hearing aid, which is not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a hearing aid, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 874.3300 Air-conduction hearing aid.

(a)
Identification. An air-conduction hearing aid is a wearable sound-amplifying device intended to compensate for impaired hearing that conducts sound to the ear through the air. An air-conduction hearing aid is subject to the requirements in § 800.30 or § 801.422 of this chapter, as applicable. The air-conduction hearing aid generic type excludes the group hearing aid or group auditory trainer, master hearing aid, and the tinnitus masker, regulated under §§ 874.3320, 874.3330, and 874.3400, respectively.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). This device is exempt from premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 874.9.
