More Information

No
The summary describes a standard TENS device with selectable pre-programmed waveforms and adjustable intensity. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The software verification mentioned is standard for medical devices and does not imply AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for "temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The description explicitly states its purpose is for "temporary relief of pain" and mentions "output waveform," "output strength," and "stimulation electrode," which are characteristics of a therapeutic device (specifically a TENS unit), not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of identifying or characterizing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as batteries, electrodes, adjustable output strength in mA, and an LCD display, indicating it is a physical device with embedded software, not a standalone software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states that the WL-2407 is a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) device. TENS devices deliver electrical impulses through the skin to relieve pain.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the lower back." This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Mechanism of Action: TENS devices work by stimulating nerves, not by analyzing biological samples.

The information provided about the device's features, performance studies (compliance to standards, software verification), and predicate devices all align with a therapeutic electrical stimulation device, not an IVD.
