Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of hearing loss conditions is the HA/GOLD ossicular prosthesis designed to address?
The HA/GOLD ossicular prosthesis is specifically designed for conductive hearing loss caused by ossicular chain discontinuity or absence in the middle ear. It is used during otologic surgery to reconstruct the ossicular chain, restoring sound transmission from the eardrum to the inner ear.
Are the HA/GOLD prostheses reusable or intended for single-use?
The HA/GOLD prostheses are intended for single-use only, as explicitly stated in the device description. They are implanted during surgery and are not designed for reuse.
What configurations are available for the HA/GOLD ossicular replacement prostheses?
The HA/GOLD prostheses come in four configurations: total and partial ossicular replacement, each available in both regular and offset designs. This variety allows surgeons to select the appropriate prosthesis based on the patient’s anatomical needs.
How is the HA/GOLD ossicular prosthesis regulated in the U.S.?
The HA/GOLD ossicular prosthesis is classified as a Class II device under FDA regulation 874.3495 and holds a traditional 510(k) clearance (K001406). It was reviewed by the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) advisory committee and is substantively equivalent to a predicate device, as indicated in the regulatory submission.
What medical specialty primarily uses the HA/GOLD ossicular prosthesis?
The HA/GOLD ossicular prosthesis is designed for use in the field of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgery, as reflected in its regulatory classification and advisory committee review. It is intended for otologic procedures to address ossicular chain issues.
