Not Found
No
The device description focuses on standard electronic components and manual controls for sound amplification, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
The device is intended to amplify sound for individuals with impaired hearing, specifically for mild and moderate hearing loss, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
The device is described as an assistive listening device intended to amplify sound for individuals with impaired hearing. Its function is to assist with listening, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a microphone, switches, trimmers, and a battery, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.
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 sound to assist individuals with impaired hearing. This is a functional aid, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The device is described as an "Air Conduction Assistive Listening Device" and "Personal Amplifier." These are terms associated with hearing aids or personal sound amplification products, not IVDs.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
- Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on the analysis of biological samples.
The device's function is to modify sound for the user, which is a direct interaction with the environment and the user's auditory system, not an in vitro analysis.

§ 874.3320 Group hearing aid or group auditory trainer.
(a)
Identification. A group hearing aid or group auditory trainer is a hearing aid that is intended for use in communicating simultaneously with one or more listeners having hearing impairment. The device is used with an associated transmitter microphone. It may be either monaural or binaural, and it provides coupling to the ear through either earphones or earmolds. The generic type of device includes three types of applications: hardwire systems, inductance loop systems, and wireless systems.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

Dear Mr. Eriksson:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 26, 1997.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
