More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a thermal stimulator for pain research and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is described as a stimulator for evaluating the functionality of pain reception and transmission, rather than for treating a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the CHEPS is "indicated ... in evaluating the functionality of human pain reception and transmission of sensory pathways," which points to a diagnostic purpose. The device "can be used as a stimulator for creating sensation and pain stimuli, in the sensory nerves fibers", which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "computerized thermal stimulator" and a "non-invasive device" used as a "stimulator for creating sensation and pain stimuli," which indicates it includes hardware components for thermal stimulation.

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 examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Modified CHEPS is a stimulator that applies thermal stimuli to the skin to evaluate the functionality of pain reception and transmission in sensory pathways. It is a non-invasive device that interacts directly with the patient's body, not with specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to evaluate the functionality of sensory pathways, which is a physiological assessment, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the Modified CHEPS falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological assessment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
