No
The provided 510(k) summary does not contain any mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses solely on the intended use for pain relief.

Yes
The device is intended for the temporary symptomatic relief of pain, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is intended for "temporary symptomatic relief" and not for diagnosis of the cause of knee pain. It specifically states "which is not caused by meniscal, ligament, or cartilage injury," implying it's for use after diagnosis has ruled out certain conditions, or for symptom relief where a specific injury is not the cause.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Energex® system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the "temporary symptomatic relief of mild to moderate chronic anterior knee pain." This describes a therapeutic or pain management function, not a diagnostic function performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a disease or condition based on sample analysis
    • Using reagents or assays

The Energex® system appears to be a physical therapy or pain relief device applied externally to the body, rather than a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples in vitro.

Dear Ms. Marlow:

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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
