No
The summary describes a standard TENS device and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that TENS is used for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of postsurgical and posttraumatic acute pain," which describes a therapeutic purpose.

No
The provided text for "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that TENS is used for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain" and "as an adjunctive treatment in the management of postsurgical and posttraumatic acute pain." This describes a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that identifies or characterizes a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable TENS device," which implies a physical hardware component is involved in delivering the electrical stimulation. The summary also mentions "output characteristics," which are typically associated with hardware performance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for pain relief and management, which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description of a "portable TENS device for pain control" aligns with a therapeutic device that delivers electrical stimulation to the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a disease or condition
    • Using reagents or assays

TENS devices work by applying electrical stimulation to the nerves to block pain signals or stimulate the release of endorphins. This is a direct interaction with the body for therapeutic effect, not an in vitro analysis for diagnostic purposes.

Dear Mr. Hunt:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
