No
The summary describes a device based on established electrophysiological principles and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.
No
The device measures galvanic skin response and tissue conductance, but its intended use statement does not indicate it is for treating or mitigating a disease or condition, which is a key characteristic of a therapeutic device. It is a diagnostic or measurement device.
Yes
The device measures galvanic skin response and selective tissue conductance, which are physiological indicators of sympathetic nervous system activity. Such measurements are used in diagnostics for conditions like neuropathy or to assess stress levels. The mention of its predicate device, the Epi-Scan Selective Tissue Conductance Meter, reinforces its role in quantitative measurement for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "instrument system" and "instrument fore the quantitative measurement," implying the presence of hardware components for applying and measuring electrical signals.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "For the measurement of galvanic skin response." This is a measurement of a physiological response in vivo (within the living body), not a test performed on in vitro (outside the body) samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- Device Description: The description details the measurement of "Selective Tissue Conductance" using a noninvasive instrument applied to the surface of the tissue. This further confirms it's an in vivo measurement.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples or the use of reagents, which are typical characteristics of IVD devices.
Therefore, the Epi-Scan P100, as described, is an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The development of the Epi-Scan P100 has been based on the combined principles of instrumentation and the electrophysiological effects of innervation of the sweat glands. This provides a noninvasive, painless instrument system fore the quantitative measurement of Selective Tissue Conductance, which has been operationally defined as “…the relative ability of biological tissue to conduct a weak (DC) electrical signal, which is applied for a selected period of time to a selected, limited and restricted surface area of that tissue ... " and which shares those same neuroanatomic reflex pathways as other tests of sympathetic skin activity or regional perspiration levels.

§ 882.1540 Galvanic skin response measurement device.
(a)
Identification. A galvanic skin response measurement device is a device used to determine autonomic responses as psychological indicators by measuring the electrical resistance of the skin and the tissue path between two electrodes applied to the skin.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 882.9.

Dear Mr. Holland:
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.
