As of 2024-12-11, the device is not banned [2], although there has been a proposal this year [1]:

In March 2024, the FDA again proposed a ban of the GED. The public comment period for the proposed rule ended May 28, 2024, and a final decision is pending as of July 2024

From [2]:

After years of regulatory and legal wrangling, the FDA is on the verge of banning the device, but with an impending administrative change in the nation’s capital, advocates are worried that the regulatory agency may lose its sense of urgency, undoing decades of activism by the disabled community.

Therefore, I think that I should resolve this to NO.
