No
The description details a standard electrical muscle stimulator with manual controls for intensity, pulse rate, and timer. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any adaptive or learning capabilities. The device is described as identical to a predicate device from 1991 (K913272), which predates widespread medical AI/ML applications.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for medical purposes" and lists several therapeutic indications such as "Relaxation of muscle spasms" and "Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy".
No
The device description and intended use indicate that the Body Clock EMS 400 is an electrically powered muscle stimulator used for therapeutic purposes such as muscle relaxation, prevention of atrophy, and increasing blood circulation, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "electrically powered device" and a "dual channel EMS (Powered Muscle Stimulator) unit" with physical dials, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body ("in vitro").
- Body Clock EMS 400 Function: The description clearly states that the Body Clock EMS 400 is an electrically powered device that contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. This is a physical interaction with the body, not the analysis of a biological specimen.
- Intended Use: The listed indications for use (muscle relaxation, preventing atrophy, increasing circulation, etc.) are all related to physical therapy and rehabilitation, not diagnostic testing of biological samples.
The Body Clock EMS 400 is a therapeutic device, specifically a powered muscle stimulator (EMS).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Body Clock EMS 400 is an electrically powered device intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. It is indicated for the following:
- Relaxation of muscle spasms; 1.
- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy; 2.
-
- Increasing local blood circulation;
-
- Muscle re-education;
- ನ : Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis; and
-
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion.

Device Description
The EMS 400 a dual channel EMS (Powered Muscle Stimulator) unit. It is identical to the Altoona EMS 400 (K913272). It has two intensity (amplitude) dials for each channel, placed on the front of the unit. Directly below the left-hand-side intensity dial is a pulse rate dial, which sets the pulse rate for both channels. Below the right-hand dial is a timer dial, which controls the time of each cycle when cycle or reciprocal mode is used. If the dial is set to 0, the unit provides a constant mode.

10.5 Intended Use:
- Relax muscle spasms ●
- Prevent or retard disuse atrophy .
- Maintain or increase range of motion .
- Increase local blood circulation .
- Re-educate muscle .
- Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscle to prevent venous thrombosis .
10.6 Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The EMS 400 has basic technological characteristics that are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
This unit uses dials to change the settings. It also uses shrouded patient cable connectors to comply with the FDA's Final Rule "Medical Devices: Establishment of Performance Standards for Electrode Lead Wires and Patient Cables."
10.7 Non-clinical Testing:
All Units are fully CE marked i.e. compliant with EEC Directive 93/42/EEC Annex V, classified as "Internally powered Equipment Type BF. They are intended for continuous operation." 150 9002 ISO 13488 EN 46002 EN 60601-1-2:1993 (EEC Directive 89/336/EEC)

Dear Mrs. Preston:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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
