Device Story

Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube is a medical-grade silicone tube designed for insertion through the tympanic membrane. It provides ventilation to the middle ear and facilitates drainage of fluids. The device is used in clinical settings to treat chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube System. By maintaining an open pathway through the eardrum, the tube helps resolve middle ear fluid accumulation and pressure issues, potentially benefiting patients by restoring middle ear function and preventing complications associated with chronic dysfunction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device met all performance acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Medical-grade silicone ventilation tube; 1 mm inside lumen diameter; sterile (EO).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction unresponsive to conventional therapy.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A tympanostomy tube is a device that is intended to be implanted for ventilation or drainage of the middle ear. The device is inserted through the tympanic membrane to permit a free exchange of air between the outer ear and middle ear. A type of tympanostomy tube known as the malleous clip tube attaches to the malleous to provide middle ear ventilation. The device is made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, silicon elastomer, or porous polyethylene.

Predicate Devices

• Summit Medical Ventilation Tubes (K830228)

Dear Mr. Leland:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
