No
The summary describes a standard audiometer and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used for diagnosis ("assisting in the diagnosis of possible otologic disorders") and does not provide therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The Interacoustics Model AD226 Diagnostic Audiometer is indicated for use... assisting in the diagnosis of possible otologic disorders." The "Device Description" also refers to it as a "Diagnostic Audiometer."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electroacoustics instrument" that "produces... tones and signals," indicating it is a hardware device that generates sound, not solely software.

Based on the provided text, 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 Description: The description clearly states the device is an "electroacoustics instrument that produces... tones and signals intended for acc in conductions of possible otologic disorders." This describes a device that interacts with the patient's ear directly using sound, not by analyzing a biological sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "assisting in the diagnosis of possible otologic disorders," which are disorders of the ear. This is consistent with an audiometer, which tests hearing function.

Therefore, the Interacoustics Model AD226 Diagnostic Audiometer is a diagnostic device, but it operates in vivo (on the living body) rather than in vitro (outside the body).
