Intended Use
Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the lower back due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.
Device Description
The Rhythm Touch Q 2-Way is a dual channeled powered nerve stimulator. It electronically stimulates nerves. It comprises two main components, namely, an electronic stimulatory module which generates the required stimulation signals, and skin electrodes with lead wires. The product is supplied with two sets of electrodes, a belt to fix and hold the unit and the electrodes, an instruction manual, and a set of batteries. Power is derived from two AAA cells located in a compartment protected by a removable battery cover. The electrodes provided with this model have 510(k) clearance. They are rectangular, 1.5"x1.75" in size. The lead wires also have 510(k) clearance.
More Information

No
The description details a standard powered nerve stimulator with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

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

No
Explanation: The device description states its intended use is for "Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles," and it is described as a "dual channeled powered nerve stimulator." These functions are therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it comprises an electronic stimulatory module, skin electrodes, lead wires, a belt, and batteries, indicating it is a hardware device with electrical components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the lower back. This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "powered nerve stimulator" that "electronically stimulates nerves." This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device does not fit that description.
