Not Found

No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, deep neural networks (DNN), image processing, or any other terms typically associated with AI/ML technology in medical devices. The description focuses solely on the intended use of a TENS device for pain management.

Yes

The device is indicated for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and as an adjunctive treatment for acute pain, which are therapeutic applications.

No
The provided text describes the device's use for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic... pain" which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. There is no mention of identifying, classifying, or determining the cause of any medical condition, which are characteristic activities of a diagnostic device.

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. The intended use describes a TENS device, which typically involves hardware for electrical stimulation.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for the symptomatic relief and management of pain. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the examination of such specimens.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points away from an IVD.
  • Other Sections: The lack of information in sections like "Input Imaging Modality," "Anatomical Site," and performance study details further supports that this is not a diagnostic device.

This device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device, which is a type of medical device used for pain management through electrical stimulation applied to the skin.

Trade/Device Name: (TENS) Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator for Pain Relief Model BMLS06-1 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 882.5890 Regulation Name: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: GZJ Dated: May 30, 2006 Received: May 30, 2006

Dear Mr. Bussett:

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. Gary Bussett

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.
