No
The summary provides no indication of AI/ML technology. The performance study references an ANSI standard, suggesting a traditional, non-AI/ML approach to testing.

No
The device is described as a "Wizard Loudness Growth Tester" and its performance meets "ANSI S3.6-1989" requirements. This standard refers to specifications for audiometers, which are diagnostic instruments for measuring hearing, not directly therapeutic devices.

No
The device is described as a "Wizard Loudness Growth Tester" and its performance meets "ANSI S3.6-1989" requirements, which is a standard for audiometers. Audiometers are used to measure hearing thresholds, which is a form of assessment or testing, but not typically considered a diagnostic device in the medical sense where it identifies a disease or condition. It rather measures a specific physiological output.

Unknown

The summary provides very limited information about the device. It only mentions a "Wizard Loudness Growth Tester" and a performance standard. There is no description of the device's components, how it functions, or if it includes any hardware. Therefore, it's impossible to determine if it's software-only.

Based on the provided information, it is highly unlikely that this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic). Here's why:

  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the key characteristics of an IVD, such as:

    • Intended Use/Indications for Use: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
    • Device Description: "Wizard Loudness Growth Tester" sounds like a device related to audiology or hearing assessment, not laboratory testing of biological samples.
    • Input Imaging Modality: Not applicable to IVDs in the traditional sense.
    • Anatomical Site: Not relevant for IVDs which analyze samples from the body, not directly on a specific anatomical site.
    • Performance Studies: While performance is mentioned, it refers to meeting an ANSI standard (likely related to acoustics or audiology equipment), not performance metrics typical for IVDs (sensitivity, specificity, etc.) which are based on clinical sample analysis.
  • Device Name: "Wizard Loudness Growth Tester" strongly suggests a device used to measure or assess how a person perceives changes in loudness, a common test in audiology.

Conclusion:

The information provided points towards a device used for audiological testing, not for the in vitro analysis of biological samples. Therefore, it is not an IVD.

§ 874.1050 Audiometer.

(a)
Identification. An audiometer or automated audiometer is an electroacoustic device that produces controlled levels of test tones and signals intended for use in conducting diagnostic hearing evaluations and assisting in the diagnosis of possible otologic disorders.(b)
Classification. Class II. Except for the otoacoustic emission device, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, if it is in compliance with American National Standard Institute S3.6-1996, “Specification for Audiometers,” and subject to the limitations in § 874.9.
