Intended Use
The Infinity is a multi-function electrotherapy device with various treatment modes that allow for conventional interferential and premodulated interferential current stimulation (IFS) and is indicated for the following conditions: - Symptomatic relief of acute pain . - . Symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain - . Symptomatic treatment for post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain
Device Description
The Infinity is a multifunction electrotherapy device with various treatment modes that allows for interferential current stimulation (IFS) and premodulated interferential current stimulation. It has the ability to provide two channels of conventional interferential and premodulated interferential stimulation. The Infinity offers the following features: - . Channels 1 and 2, which are multi-purpose outputs (IF and PM IF) - . Each channel has a dedicated intensity control - . Maximum stimulation of 50 mA/500 V from each channel - . Timed therapy sessions - . Continuous stimulation - . Adjustable pulse rates - Balanced asymmetrical and symmetrical biphasic waveforms - . Seven programs: three for conventional interferential, three for premodulated interferential and one for custom stimulation - . Lock option for clinician to control treatment regimens and stimulus intensity - . Pause function for patient to pause stimulation. During pause, the timer will not count down if timing has been set up. Upon restart, the device assumes the previous treatment stimulation parameters but a stimulus intensity of zero
More Information

No
The document describes a standard electrotherapy device with various pre-set and adjustable parameters, but there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the device description, intended use, or any other section.

Yes.
The device's intended use is for symptomatic relief of pain, which aligns with therapeutic purposes.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an electrotherapy device used for symptomatic relief and management of pain. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as channels, intensity controls, and outputs for electrical stimulation, indicating it is a physical electrotherapy device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Infinity is an electrotherapy device that uses electrical stimulation for pain relief. It applies current to the body externally.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient.

The device's function and intended use fall under the category of physical therapy or pain management devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

  • . Channels 1 and 2, which are multi-purpose outputs (IF and PM IF)

  • . Seven programs: three for conventional interferential, three for premodulated interferential and one for custom stimulation
  • . Lock option for clinician to control treatment regimens and stimulus intensity
  • . Pause function for patient to pause stimulation. During pause, the timer will not count down if timing has been set up. Upon restart, the device assumes the previous treatment stimulation parameters but a stimulus intensity of zero

BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.

The Infinity is an extension of the 300 PV and is similar in design and functions. Both offer multiple treatment programs, and the user can either choose one or more of these options or customize the treatment regimen within the available parameter ranges. The Infinity is a two-channel system that includes conventional and premodulated interferential stimulation whereas the 300 PV is a four-channel system. Additionally, it is not indicated for NMES, for FES or TENS since it does not include the accessories for FES, nor does it include the waveforms for FES and TENS. The conclusion of this technical comparison is that the Empi Infinity is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for the indications specified.
