The summary describes a standard hearing aid with programmable circuitry and standard components, with no mention of AI or ML terms, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.
Yes
The device is intended to treat hearing loss, which is a medical condition, by amplifying and transmitting sound to the ear. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The "Intended Use" section describes the device addressing "hearing loss" and the "Device Description" states its purpose "To amplify and transmit sound to the ear." These indicate the device is a hearing aid, which is a therapeutic device designed to assist hearing, not a diagnostic tool for identifying or characterizing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly mentions physical components like batteries and circuitry, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device's function is to "amplify and transmit sound to the ear" to address hearing loss. This is a device that interacts with the body externally to improve a physical function, not a test performed on a sample.
- Intended Use: The intended uses all relate to different types and severities of hearing loss, which is a physical condition affecting the ear.
- Device Description: The components and specifications described are consistent with a hearing aid, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a hearing aid, which is a medical device but not an IVD.

§ 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.

Programmable Option for Auris AE, Auris TL, Auris HS, Auris AC, Auris MM, Auris COE and CIC Air Conduction Hearing Aids Dated: April 25, 1997 Received: April 28, 1997 Regulatory Class: I 21 CFR 874.3300/Procode: 77 ESD
Dear Mr. Juneau:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the exactment 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent . determination 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 regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission 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.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
While your device has been deemed substantially equivalent to other legally marketed hearing ands, please be advised that electromagnetic interference from digital cellular telephones, as well as from other sources, is increasingly becoming a concern. Typically, this interference takes the form of a buzzing sound that can range from annoying to very loud and may render a hearing aid temporarily ineffective for the wearer. Because electromagnetic interference may affect your device, you may be asked to test for electromagnetic compatibility in the future. In this interim period, we encourage you to modify your device labeling to inform practitioners and users of the potential for electromagnetic interference. Please be aware that a 510(k) submission is required for any claims that infer that your device is compatible with potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as "compatible with digital cellular telephones", and that data supporting such claims is necessary.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or at (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address ----------------------------------------------------"http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
