More Information

Not Applicable

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description is for a standard TENS unit.

Yes.
The device is used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device, a TENS unit, is described for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic... pain" and as an "adjunctive treatment," indicating it is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states "Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) Model BMLS02-10," which is a hardware device that delivers electrical stimulation. The summary does not mention any software-only component or function.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are 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).
  • TENS Device Function: The description clearly states that this is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. TENS devices work by applying electrical stimulation to the skin (transcutaneous) to relieve pain. This is a physical therapy modality, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The information provided about the device's intended use and description confirms it's a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Mr. Saxon:

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.
