## Intended Use

The Otogram is an auditory diagnostic instrument intended to administer, under supervision by a trained healthcare professional, a battery of diagnostic and screening procedures that include the following: 1) Pure tone air and bone conduction audiometry with automated masking 2) Speech recognition threshold with automated masking 3) Speech discrimination with automated masking 4) Tympanometry 5) Acoustic reflex threshold, both ipsilateral and contralateral 6) Distortion product otoacoustic emissions 7) Pure tone Stenger 8) Patient survey The Otogram is indicated for use by trained healthcare professionals on both adult and pediatric subjects for measurement of audiometric parameters to identify and supply data to help diagnose hearing loss and ear disorders.

## Device Story

Otogram CA3350 is a computer-controlled diagnostic instrument combining audiometry, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) analysis, and tympanometry. The device connects to a PC via RS-232 port; control software on the PC manages the instrument. It performs pure tone air/bone conduction audiometry, speech recognition/discrimination, tympanometry, acoustic reflex thresholds, DPOAE, and Stenger tests. Operated by trained healthcare professionals in clinical settings, the device provides diagnostic data to assist in identifying hearing loss and ear disorders. The clinician reviews the output to inform clinical decision-making. Benefits include a comprehensive, integrated diagnostic battery for efficient patient assessment.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench and user testing performed. Comparison testing conducted by a Hearing Instrument Specialist Intern to validate performance against predicate devices. No clinical trial data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Computer-controlled audiometric instrument. Interfaces via RS-232. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-1, and 60601-1-2 (EMC). Performance/calibration per IEC 1027, ANSI S3.39, and IEC 60645-5. Class II device.

## Regulatory 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.

# 9. Significant changes from predicate Tympany Otogram combination device:

- Expansion of intended use to include use by "trained healthcare professional" vs. "qualified/trained audiologist"
	- The indications for use stated in the 501(k) submission for the Bio-Logic AuDX device (K974076) indicates use by a "trained health care professional (for example an Audiologist)"
	- Training for the Otogram CA3350 includes a thorough review and training using the User Instruction Guide included in Exhibit 13 of the 510(k) submission.
	- Comparison testing with predicate devices was performed by a Hearing Instrument Specialist Intern - someone who has been trained on the use of the equipment, but is not an audiologist. Test reports are contained in Exhibit 12 of the 510(k) submission.
- Different computer and improved design on various components and assemblies.
	- Computer specifications and design specifications are contained in Exhibit 11 of the 510(k) submission.

# 10. Safety and Effectiveness comparison to predicate devices:

The results of bench, user, and laboratory testing indicate that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

# 11. Conclusion:

After analyzing both bench and user testing data, it is the conclusion of Tympany Inc. that the Tympany Otogram CA3350 is safe and effective as the predicate devices, has few technological differences, and has no new indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Re: K070118

Trade/Device Name: Otogram CA3350 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 874.1050 Regulation Name: Audiometer Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: EWO, NAS, ETY Dated: January 11, 2007 Received: January 12, 2007

Dear Mr. Pearce:

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. Iisting 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{5}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrb/industry/support/index.html.

#### Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known): K070118

Device Name: Otogram CA3350

Indications for Use:

The Otogram is a computer-controlled, audiometric instrument combining the functions of an Audiometer, Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions Analyzer and Auditory Acoustic Impedance/Admittance Tester (i.e. Tympanometer) The Otogram is indicated for use by trained healthcare professionals on both adult and pediatric subjects for measurement of audiometric parameters to identify and supply data to help diagnose hearing loss and ear disorders.

The Otogram is an auditory diagnostic instrument intended to administer, under supervision by a trained healthcare professional, a battery of diagnostic and screening procedures that include the following:

1) Pure tone air and bone conduction audiometry with automated masking

2) Speech recognition threshold with automated masking

3) Speech discrimination with automated masking

4) Tympanometry

5) Acoustic reflex threshold, both ipsilateral and contralateral

6) Distortion product otoacoustic emissions

7) Pure tone Stenger

8) Patient survey
