Device Description
The Cochlear Baha bone conduction hearing system provides an alternate solution for patients who may not benefit from air-conduction hearing aids. Unlike air-conduction hearing aids, the Baha implant system utilizes a natural bone conduction pathway to send sound directly to the inner ear (cochlea), bypassing a damaged outer or middle ear. The Baha bone conduction hearing system has non-surgical and surgical options. For the non-surgical option, the external sound processor, which converts acoustic sound into mechanical vibrations, is securely placed behind the ear with a Baha SoundBand, Baha Softband, or Baha SoundArc. For the surgical option, the external sound processor is coupled with an abutment (Baha Connect) or magnet (Baha Attract). The mechanical vibrations travel through the abutment or magnet to a small, titanium implant, which is surgically placed into the bone. The titanium implant has an osseointegrated bond with the surrounding bone, allowing transmission of high-quality sound directly to the inner ear.
The Baha 7 Sound Processor is a firmware variant of the previously cleared Baha 6 Max Sound Processor (K202048). The changes introduced in this 510(k) are specific to the sound processor and accessories, and do not affect the cleared Baha Connect abutments, Baha Attract magnet, the BI300 titanium implant, Baha Softband, or Baha SoundArc. The Baha 7 Sound Processor does not modify the intended functionality or fundamental operating principles of the bone conduction hearing system. The changes within culminate as the next generation Baha sound processor that supports Bluetooth LE Audio streaming, which enables compatibility with the new generation wireless accessories from GN Hearing.
The Baha 7 Sound Processor will be supported by a new fitting software (Baha Fitting Software 7), an updated app (Baha Smart App), and a new non-surgical retention option (Baha SoundBand).

Device Description
The contact forte Alpha Processor is a sound processor that converts sound into mechanical vibrations. The sound processor is magnetically connected to a Sophono Headband, Sophono Softband or Sophono Attract Magnetic Spacer by the integrated metal disk. Sound enters the audio processor through the microphones, which then goes through a DSP chip for signal processing. The output of the DSP chip drives an electromechanical transducer, which converts the signal into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are transferred to the patient's skin through the Sophono Headband, Sophono Softband or the Sophono Attract magnetic spacer. The vibrations are carried through the patient's skin and skull to the cochlea where they are perceived as sound. The device is designed for use on either the right or left side application. The device has a "oval" housing with a symmetrical design ( for right or left side application). The material used: Plastic contact with intact skin;

Alternatively, it can be connected to head band accessories, to function as a conventional bone conductor. Using a computer based fitting system the sound processor can be adjusted to the patient's individual hearing requirements. The Ponto 3 family is intended to be used with either the Ponto implant system or with specific compatible BAHA abutments/implants from Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions (BAS).
The Ponto 3 family incorporates Inium Sense platform that is also used in the predicate Oticon A/S air conduction hearing aids legally marketed as class II. 510(k)-exempt devices. With the Injum Sense platform the microphone directionality system is updated. Furthermore, for Ponto 3 wireless transmission is enabled allowing for binaural signal processing.
In addition to the regular and power version sound processors, the Ponto 3 family introduces a SuperPower version with UltraDrive, consisting of a redesigned amplifier and optimized transducer. Ponto 3 SuperPower provides equivalent maximum force output (MFO) as the Baha Cordelle II, previously cleared through K080363, and thus expanded indication up to and including 65 dB HL is proposed.
This submission also includes minor modifications to the previously cleared accessories Genie Medical fitting software, Soft band and Streamer.
