Intended Use
The Grason-Stadler Inc. model GSI SA60 Otoacoustic Emissions/Screening Audiometer is similar to and predicated upon the Grason-Stadler Inc. model GSI 60 Otoacoustic Emissions/Screening Audiometer. The GSI SA60 is to be used as part of an audiometric test battery. The purpose of this device is to assess the status of cochlear function by presenting an acoustic stimulus (i.e. the primary tone pair) to evoke an otoacoustic emission (i.e. the distortion product) which is measured. The GSI 60 and the GSI SA60 utilize a probe containing a microphone and two (2) independent speakers (one for each primary tone) to present the acoustic stimulus and measure for the presence of an evoked otoacoustic emission.

No
The summary describes a device that presents acoustic stimuli and measures otoacoustic emissions. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the provided text. The device's function appears to be based on direct measurement and signal processing, not learning algorithms.

No
This device is an audiometer used to assess cochlear function, not to treat a condition.

Yes
The device's purpose is to "assess the status of cochlear function" by measuring otoacoustic emissions, which directly indicates its role in diagnosing or evaluating a physiological state.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device utilizes a probe containing a microphone and two speakers, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description of the GSI SA60 clearly states that it presents an acoustic stimulus to the ear and measures an evoked otoacoustic emission. This is a direct measurement of a physiological response within the body, not an analysis of a biological sample taken from the body.
  • The intended use is to assess cochlear function. This is a diagnostic assessment of a physical part of the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device is an audiometric device used for assessing hearing function, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVD devices.

Summary of Performance Studies

The GSI SA60 is an extension of the current GSI 60 system and operates in the same manner. The GSI SA60 allows the use of the system with a notebook computer without the need for a docking station which is required for the GSI 60. The GSI SA60 is therefor more portable than the GSI 60 making it equivalent or better in effectiveness for the testing of cochlear function.
