More Information

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the description focuses on basic sound amplification.

Yes
The device is described as a hearing aid intended to compensate for hearing loss by amplifying sound, which is a therapeutic function.

No
This device is described as a hearing aid, which amplifies sound to compensate for hearing loss. It does not state that it identifies a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "behind-the-ear air conduction hearing aid," 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 assist in compensating for hearing loss by amplifying sound as it comes near the ear." This describes a device that interacts with the external environment (sound) and the patient's body (hearing loss) directly, not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "behind-the-ear air conduction hearing aid." This is a type of medical device that provides amplification, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis.
    • Using reagents or other materials for in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Starkey Euroline A•675 Series BTE Hearing aids are a hearing aid, which is a medical device, but 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.
