The summary describes a standard EMG biofeedback system with software for game playing controlled by EMG signals, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
The device is used for "muscle reeducation/rehabilitation" and "supports relaxation and muscle reeducation," which are therapeutic purposes. It also lists predicate devices that include "Therapeutic Alliance Inc. NeuroEducator."
No
The provided text describes the BioRehab System as a device used for electromyography (EMG) biofeedback support of relaxation and muscle reeducation, rather than for diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is to support therapeutic processes by allowing patients to control EMG signal levels.
No
The device description explicitly states that the BioRehab System consists of an EMG amplifier, computer, and software, indicating it includes hardware components (EMG amplifier and computer) in addition to software.
Based on the provided information, the BioRehab System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease or conditions.
- BioRehab System's Function: The BioRehab System works by measuring electrical activity from muscles (EMG) and providing biofeedback to the patient. It is used for muscle relaxation and reeducation/rehabilitation.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The system does not involve the collection or analysis of any specimens taken from the body. It directly interacts with the body's electrical signals.
Therefore, the BioRehab System falls under the category of a therapeutic or rehabilitation device rather than an IVD.

Device Description
The BioRehab System consists of an EMG amplifier, computer and software. Under the care and guidance of a physician or therapist, the BioRehab System supports relaxation and muscle reeducation by the application of electromyography (EMG) biofeedback. The BioRehab System supports patient game playing under EMG control. The patient consciously controls the EMG signal level from the therapist's selected muscle groups.

§ 882.5050 Biofeedback device.
(a)
Identification. A biofeedback device is an instrument that provides a visual or auditory signal corresponding to the status of one or more of a patient's physiological parameters (e.g., brain alpha wave activity, muscle activity, skin temperature, etc.) so that the patient can control voluntarily these physiological parameters.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter when it is a prescription battery powered device that is indicated for relaxation training and muscle reeducation and prescription use, subject to § 882.9.

2.0 Intended Use
The BioRehab System is used for electromyography (EMG) biofeedback support of relaxation and muscle reeducation. The BioRehab System may be used by licensed medical practitioners to support their methods of muscle relaxation and reeducation/rehabilitation. The BioRehab System can be used in hospital, physician office, clinics, long-term patient care facilities, home and other therapy locations.
3.0 Technological
The BioRehab System applies EMG signal detection and amplification to support relaxation and muscle reeducation therapy. The significant components of the BioRehab System are a battery powered patient interface amplifier, computer software. Commercially available surface EMG electrodes connect to the amplifier.
The EMG signal output of the BioRehab system is qualitative not quantitative. Under control of the therapist, an EMG signal threshold is set for the patient to support control of the computer cursor. The control of the computer cursor supports patient game playing on the computer.
4.0 Conclusions
The characteristics of the BioRehab System are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised.
