Intended Use
The intended use of ACULIFE/Model SMW-01 is an ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE for use in the practice of acupuncture by qualified practitioners of acupuncture as determined by the states. ACULIFE/model SMW-01 is intended for the stimulation at hands of patient.
Device Description
The device consists of a battery powered portable instrument, with a basic power pack which is connected by conducting lead wire to two electrodes (one probe electrode and one big adhesive electrode) which make contact for hands stimulation. ACULIFE uses a 9V/DC battery or 9V adaptor as the supply power of the stimulation unit. It can be adjusted for the output amplitude, keep the memory of chosen amplitude, and set the operation time. The electrode combination and lead wire provide the electro-acupuncture stimulation for hand by or on the order of a qualified practitioner of acupuncture as determined by the states.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on basic electrical stimulation and safety standards, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as an "ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE" intended for "stimulation at hands of patient" for use in "the practice of acupuncture," which are therapeutic applications.

No

The device is described as an "ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE" intended for "stimulation at hands of patient." Its function is to provide electro-acupuncture stimulation. There is no mention of diagnostic capabilities, such as measuring or analyzing physiological parameters to identify a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a battery-powered portable instrument, lead wires, and electrodes, indicating it is a hardware device with electrical components for stimulation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE for use in the practice of acupuncture... intended for the stimulation at hands of patient." This describes a therapeutic or diagnostic device that interacts directly with the patient's body, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that delivers electrical stimulation through electrodes applied to the skin. This is consistent with an electro-acupuncture device, not an IVD which would typically involve analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any processes related to in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to provide electrical stimulation for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes related to acupuncture.
