No
The description focuses on standard hearing aid technology like compression, gain control, and circuitry, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a hearing aid, which is a therapeutic device designed to improve hearing for individuals with hearing loss.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Completely-In-The-Canal Hearing Aid" that amplifies and transmits sound. Its features and intended use are focused on sound amplification for hearing, not on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components like circuitry, battery, and physical controls, indicating it is a physical medical 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 and transmit sound via air conduction to the ear." This describes a device that interacts with the body to improve hearing, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details a hearing aid, which is a medical device used to treat hearing loss. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Diagnostic testing
    • Laboratory use
    • Reagents or assays

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a hearing aid, and 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.
