Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Acoustic Impedance Meter, Model TA-4D, is a Class II medical device classified as a Tester, Auditory Impedance. It measures acoustic impedance in the ear canal, providing objective data on middle ear function, tympanic membrane mobility, and acoustic reflex thresholds. This assessment aids in diagnosing conditions such as otitis media, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or hearing impairment.
The device is intended for use in clinical settings by healthcare professionals in the Ear, Nose, and Throat specialty. Supplied as a reusable instrument, it requires no sterilization between uses. The TA-4D operates under FDA 510(k) clearance (K801293) and falls under regulation 874.1090, with a traditional review pathway. No MRI safety or single-use specifications are noted in the regulatory data.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What clinical conditions can the Acoustic Impedance Meter, Model TA-4D, help diagnose or assess in patients?
The TA-4D measures acoustic impedance in the ear canal to evaluate middle ear function, tympanic membrane mobility, and acoustic reflex thresholds. This objective data helps diagnose conditions like otitis media, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or hearing impairments, particularly in clinical Ear, Nose, and Throat settings.
Is the Acoustic Impedance Meter, Model TA-4D, intended for single-use or reusable applications, and does it require sterilization?
The TA-4D is designed as a reusable instrument and does not require sterilization between uses, as specified in its regulatory documentation. This makes it suitable for repeated clinical assessments without additional processing.
What regulatory pathway was followed for the FDA clearance of the Acoustic Impedance Meter, Model TA-4D?
The TA-4D received FDA clearance through a 510(k) submission (K801293) under the traditional review pathway, classified as a Class II device under regulation 874.1090. The submission was reviewed by the Ear, Nose, and Throat (EN) Advisory Committee in 1980.
Which medical specialties would primarily benefit from using the Acoustic Impedance Meter, Model TA-4D?
The TA-4D is explicitly intended for use in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) clinical settings, where professionals assess middle ear health, tympanic membrane integrity, and hearing-related conditions. Its design aligns with diagnostic needs in this specialty.
