Intended Use
Electrically powered devices intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. Indications For Use include: - Relaxation of muscle spasms - Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy - Increasing local blood circulation - Muscle re-education - Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis - Maintaining or increasing range of motion
Device Description
The Rhythm Touch Q 2-Way is a dual channeled powered muscle stimulator. It electronically stimulates muscles. It comprises two main components, namely, an electronic stimulatory module which generates the required stimulation signals, and skin electrodes with lead wires. The product is supplied with a set of single sided adhesive electrodes, an instruction manual, and a set of batteries. Power is derived from two AAA cells located in a compartment protected by a removable battery cover. The electrodes, which are provided with this model, have 510(k) clearance. They are 2" x 2" in size. The leadwires also have 510(k) clearance.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on basic electrical stimulation and does not mention any adaptive or learning capabilities, data processing, or AI/ML terminology.

Yes
The device is intended for medical purposes and aims to treat various conditions such as muscle spasms, disuse atrophy, and impaired range of motion by electrically stimulating muscles. These indications align with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device, a powered muscle stimulator, is intended for therapeutic purposes such as muscle relaxation, atrophy prevention, and increasing circulation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it comprises an electronic stimulatory module and skin electrodes with lead wires, which are hardware components.

No, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device "repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area." This is a form of electrical stimulation applied to the body (in vivo).
  • Intended Use: The listed indications for use (muscle spasms, atrophy, circulation, etc.) are all related to treating or managing conditions within the body, not diagnosing them through laboratory tests.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Rhythm Touch Q 2-Way is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
