No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, nor does it describe any features or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices.

No
The device is used for screening hearing to record otoacoustic emissions, which indicates a diagnostic or screening purpose rather than a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are typically used for treatment or to alleviate conditions.

Yes
The device is used for "screening hearing in infants and adults," which is a diagnostic activity to identify potential hearing issues.

No

The device description "Echo Master- OAE" and the intended use of recording otoacoustic emissions strongly suggest the device includes hardware components (like a probe or sensor) to elicit and measure the emissions, which is not characteristic of a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Echo Wadu-OAE 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 Echo Wadu-OAE device records otoacoustic emissions, which are sounds produced by the inner ear. This is a measurement of a physiological response within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for screening hearing, which is a functional assessment of the auditory system.

Therefore, the Echo Wadu-OAE falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement and screening, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 874.1050 Audiometer.

(a)
Identification. An audiometer or automated audiometer is an electroacoustic device that produces controlled levels of test tones and signals intended for use in conducting diagnostic hearing evaluations and assisting in the diagnosis of possible otologic disorders.(b)
Classification. Class II. Except for the otoacoustic emission device, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, if it is in compliance with American National Standard Institute S3.6-1996, “Specification for Audiometers,” and subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

Re: K994033 Trade Name: Hortmann EchoMaster-OAE Regulatory Class: II CFR: 874.1050 Product Code: 77EWO Dated: November 26, 1999 Received: November 26, 1999

Dear Mr. Melancon:

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 requirements, 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 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 results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), 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).
