More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes standard self-adhesive electrodes for recording physiological signals or applying electrical stimulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The predicate device is also a standard electrode.

No
The device is used to record physiological signals or apply electrical stimulation, which are often diagnostic or functional applications rather than directly therapeutic in themselves.

No
The device is described as electrodes used to record physiological signals or apply electrical stimulation, which are actions for data collection or therapy, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "Various Models of Self Adhesive Electrodes," which are hardware components applied to the skin. The intended use also describes recording physiological signals and applying electrical stimulation, which requires physical electrodes.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to be applied directly to a patient's skin to record physiological signals or apply electrical stimulation. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Self Adhesive Electrodes," which are external devices applied to the skin.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on samples, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function falls outside that definition.

Device Name:

EVERLIFE, Various Models of Self Adhesive Electrodes, Proprietary Name: AP series Self Adhesive Electrodes Common or Usual Name:

Classification Name:

21 CFR 882.1320

GXY, Class II

Indications for Use:

Intended to be applied directly to a patient's skin either to record physiological signals (e.g., the electroencephalogram) or to apply electrical stimulation.

Biocompatibility Testing:

  • Cytotoxicity study ISO 10993-5 .
  • Skin irritation study ISO 10993-10
  • Skin sensitization study ISO 10993-10

Legally marketed device for substantial equivalence comparison:

HOME CARE Various Models of Self-Adhesive Electrodes, K022917

Summary for substantial equivalence comparison:

The intended uses for the two devices are almost the same, because the new device can also be used for EEG, ECG, EMG, TENS, and Muscle stimulation cases. Though the gel ingredients or the conductive films for the two devices may be different, the effect of impedance levels for the intended situations is assured for both of the devices, and the safety and effectiveness hazards are not present, and they are considered to be substantially equivalent.
