The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for algorithms. The description focuses on the device's form factors and basic function of sound amplification/attenuation.
No
Explanation: A hearing aid is considered a medical device that helps improve hearing, but it is not typically classified as a "therapeutic device" in the same way that devices used for active treatment of a disease or condition are. Its primary function is compensatory (amplification) rather than curative or therapeutic.
No
Explanation: The document explicitly states the device's indication for use is to "amplify weak sound and attenuate strong sound for individuals with impaired hearing," which describes a treatment or assistive function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of identifying or characterizing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is available in various physical forms (full concha, I.T.E., low profile, and half shells), indicating it includes hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is an "air conduction hearing aid" intended to "amplify weak sound and attenuate strong sound for individuals with impaired hearing." This is a device that interacts with the external environment (sound waves) and the user's ear to improve hearing, not to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, laboratory procedures, or diagnostic testing of bodily fluids or tissues, which are hallmarks of IVDs.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a hearing aid, which is a medical device but not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of 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.
R
If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Prematce Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devise can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalion assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations,
