More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard TENS device for pain relief and lumbar support, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as a "transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation" device intended for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic and intractable pain," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator intended for pain relief and lumbar support, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "self-contained battery operated transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulator" and includes "adhesive electrodes are mounted on a belt," indicating it is a hardware device with electrical components and physical accessories.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The BAXOLVE™ TENS device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. It delivers electrical impulses through the skin to the nerves for pain relief. It also provides lumbar support.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any samples taken from the body. Its function is based on delivering electrical stimulation externally.

Therefore, the device's intended use and mechanism of action clearly fall outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Ms. Sawyer:

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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
