The provided text does not contain any mention of AI, ML, DNN, or related concepts, nor does it describe features or processes typically associated with these technologies in the context of medical devices.
Yes
The device is intended to improve various hearing and speech conditions, including hearing loss and auditory processing disorders, by maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio. This indicates a therapeutic intent to alleviate or improve a medical condition.
No
The Intended Use section describes improving the signal to noise ratio for a listener to address hearing difficulties in various environments and for specific conditions. This function is for amplification and support, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.
Unknown
The provided text lacks a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. Without this information, it's impossible to ascertain if the device includes hardware components or is purely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes improving the signal-to-noise ratio for a listener in various environments to address hearing difficulties. This is a function related to hearing assistance and amplification, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition through the examination of specimens taken from the human body.
- Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from IVD activities.
- Other Sections: The lack of information in sections like "Mentions image processing," "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML," "Input Imaging Modality," and the absence of details about training and test sets, performance studies, and key metrics further support that this is not an IVD. IVDs typically involve data analysis and performance evaluation related to diagnostic accuracy.
In summary, the device's purpose is to enhance sound perception for individuals with hearing difficulties, which falls under the category of hearing aids or assistive listening devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
To improve the signal to noise ratio for a listener ir a var ety of ur vironments where background noise, poor acoustics, and distance from a desired sound source contribute to hearing difficulty.
Any hearing and speech condition that can be improved by maximizing the signal to noise ratio for the listener. This includes: Low gain amplification for Attention Deficit Disorders, Learning Disabilition of Central Auditory Processing Disorders, amplification for mild to moderate conductive and senonineural hearing loss, and amplification moderate to severe conductive and sensorineural bearing loss when used in conjunction with a personal hearing aid.

§ 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. Ingebrigtsen:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 2, 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 (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.
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical

device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
