The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of these technologies.
Yes
The device is described as "hearing aids" intended to "amplify sound for individuals with impaired hearing," which directly addresses and compensates for a medical impairment (hearing loss).
No
The document describes hearing aids, which are devices that amplify sound for individuals with impaired hearing. They are a type of assistive device, not a diagnostic device used for identifying or analyzing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states "CIC, ITE and BTE Hearing Aids," which are hardware devices. The intended use also describes amplifying sound, a function performed by hardware components in hearing aids.
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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The provided information clearly states the device is an "air conduction hearing aid" intended to "amplify 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 a test performed on a biological sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a hearing aid, and 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.

Re: K972345 Miracle-Ear Programmable Sharp .......... Dynamic Air Conduction Hearing Aids Dated: June 23, 1997 Received: June 24, 1997 Regulatory Class: I 21 CFR 874.3300/Procode: 77 ESD
Dear Ms. Raska:
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 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). 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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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 Eederal 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 results 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 aids, please be advised that electromagnetic interference from digital collular 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 incifective 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.
