No
The summary describes a device that uses an inflatable garment to simulate massage techniques. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on the mechanical action of the device.

Yes
The device is indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and for temporary increase in circulation, which are therapeutic claims.

No
The device is described as providing temporary relief of muscle aches and pains and increasing circulation, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones that identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses an "inflatable garment," which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Air Press Massager is a physical therapy device that applies external pressure to the body. Its intended use is for temporary relief of muscle aches and pains and increasing circulation, which are physical effects, not diagnostic tests on biological samples.

The description clearly indicates a device that interacts with the external body through an inflatable garment, not one that analyzes biological specimens.

Dear Mr. Segal:

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.
