The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology. The intended use is purely related to electrical impedance reduction.
No
The "Intended Use" describes a device that "reduce[s] the impedance of the contact between the electrode surface and the skin," which is a functional purpose, not a therapeutic one. It facilitates the use of external electrodes but does not treat a condition itself.
No
The Intended Use describes a device for reducing impedance between electrodes and skin, which is a therapeutic or assistive function, not one for diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The intended use explicitly mentions "external electrodes," which are hardware components, indicating the device is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "reduce the impedance of the contact between the electrode surface and the skin." This describes a physical interaction with the body's surface to improve electrical conductivity for external electrodes.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the key characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing information about a physiological or pathological state
- Being used in vitro (outside the living body)
IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely related to improving the electrical connection for external electrodes, which is not an in vitro diagnostic process.

Trade/Device Name: Home Care Jelly Regulation Number: 21 CFR 882.1275 Regulation Name: Electroconductive media Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: GYB Dated: September 27, 2002 Received: November 1, 2002
Dear Dr. Jen:
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

product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
