Intended Use
The Mini-TENS including a series of TENS models (WL-2401, WL-2402, WL-2403, and WL-2302) is intended for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain.
Device Description
The Mini-TENS series, including WL-2401, WL-2402, WL-2403, and WL-2302 are transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator used for pain relief by applying an electrical current to electrodes, which are attached on the patient's skin. The output and waveform is adjustable according to the situation of patient. Mini-TENS series, models WL-2401, WL-2402, WL-2403, and WL-2302, consist mainly of two parts: the stimulus generator, electrode. The stimulus generator generates the output current specified as the input of controller. The output port transmits the output current to the electrode, which is attached to the patient's skin so as to transmit this stimulus current to the patient for pain relief. The stimulation mode for Mini-TENS is burst mode with fixed pulse rate, frequency, and fixed timer. Only amplitude is adjustable. This operation way is considered the simplification from the burst mode of comparison clear model, WL-2102A. Every model of Mini-TENS has its individual stimulation operation cycle. The Mini-TENS series (WL-2401, WL-2402, WL-2403, and WL-2302) are almost identical in function outlook and specification.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard TENS device with adjustable amplitude and fixed parameters (pulse rate, frequency, timer). There is no mention of adaptive algorithms, learning capabilities, or any terms associated with AI/ML. The device's operation is described as a simplification of a predicate device's burst mode, further indicating a lack of advanced computational features.

Yes
The device is described as being "intended for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain" and "used for pain relief," which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a "transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator used for pain relief." Its intended use is "for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain," which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose. It applies an electrical current for treatment, not for identifying a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Mini-TENS series consists of a stimulus generator and electrodes, which are hardware components used to deliver electrical current to the patient.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain." This describes a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) that applies electrical current to the skin for pain relief. This is a physical therapy modality, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition based on the analysis of samples.
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls used in laboratory testing.

In summary, the Mini-TENS is a therapeutic device used for pain management, not a diagnostic device used for analyzing biological samples to provide information about a patient's health.
