The device description and intended use are for a simple, physical acupuncture needle. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as being used for "acupuncture treatment," which is a medical therapy aimed at alleviating pain or treating various health conditions.
No
A diagnostic device is used to identify or analyze a disease or condition. This device, an acupuncture needle, is used for treatment by piercing the skin, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components such as a solid stainless steel needle, handle, and plastic guide tube, and discusses material properties and sterilization methods, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
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 the body (in vitro).
- Jia Chen Acupuncture Needle's Intended Use: The intended use of the Jia Chen Acupuncture Needle is to "pierce the skin in the practice of acupuncture." This is a direct interaction with the body (in vivo) for therapeutic purposes, not for analyzing a specimen to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the needle and its use in a medical procedure, not on any testing or analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Jia Chen Acupuncture Needle is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Dovchin:
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.

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.
