Device Description
The NET-2000 Microcurrent Stimulator is a precision electronic instrument used for the treatment of anxiety, depression, or insomnia. The treatment is simple and can easily be selfadministered. The device consists of a microprocessor controller box and skin contact electrodes. The small controller box is a software controlled low-intensity output. Current ranges from 0-600 microamperes typically set at 0.5 Hz. Additional frequencies at 1.5 and 100 Hz are available for the physician's use. The waveform is a bipolar asymmetric rectangular shape. Duty cycle is 50% with a 0 net current. Timed treatment is set at 16.5 minutes.
More Information

No
The description details a microprocessor-controlled device with fixed parameters (current range, frequencies, waveform, duty cycle, treatment time). There is no mention of adaptive algorithms, learning from data, or any characteristics typically associated with AI/ML. The control is based on pre-programmed settings, not dynamic learning or inference.

Yes
The device is described as treating medical conditions (insomnia, depression, anxiety) by applying electrical current, and its intended use is for treatment.

No

The device is described as treating conditions (insomnia, depression, anxiety) by applying electrical current, not diagnosing them. Its purpose is therapeutic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "microprocessor controller box and skin contact electrodes," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

No, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The NET-2000 Microcurrent Stimulator applies electrical current to the head for therapeutic purposes (treating insomnia, depression, or anxiety). It does not analyze any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is treatment, not diagnosis or analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the NET-2000 Microcurrent Stimulator falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Ward:

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

Page 2 - Mr. Lewis Ward

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) 276-0120. 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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
