None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description focuses solely on electrical stimulation for muscle strengthening.

Yes
The device is intended for electrical stimulation of pelvic floor muscles to reduce urinary incontinence, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No.
The device's intended use is to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce urinary incontinence through electrical stimulation, indicating a therapeutic or treatment-oriented function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use explicitly mentions "Electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles with the use of vaginal probe," indicating a hardware component (the vaginal probe) is part of the system.

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 description clearly states the device uses electrical stimulation of pelvic floor muscles with a vaginal probe. This is a therapeutic intervention applied directly to the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce urinary incontinence, which are therapeutic outcomes, not diagnostic information derived from a sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 876.5320 Nonimplanted electrical continence device.

(a)
Identification. A nonimplanted electrical continence device is a device that consists of a pair of electrodes on a plug or a pessary that are connected by an electrical cable to a battery-powered pulse source. The plug or pessary is inserted into the rectum or into the vagina and used to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor to maintain urinary or fecal continence. When necessary, the plug or pessary may be removed by the user. This device excludes an AC-powered nonimplanted electrical continence device and the powered vaginal muscle stimulator for therapeutic use (§ 884.5940).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
