Device Description
EA Stimulator is a battery powered TENS, which is used in the treatment of chronic, acute, and post-surgical pain. The device contains a printed circuit board, independent intensity controlled channels, and Microcurrent-Milliampere Switches. It also has windows, display frequency, pulse width, and time settings. The device has different stimulation frequency modes with different selected waveforms. EA Stimulator uses self adhesive electrodes and has energy saving feature that automatically turns off if the device has no activity for 5 minutes or when a treatment session is completed.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard TENS device components and functionalities (circuit board, channels, intensity control, frequency/pulse width settings, waveforms, electrodes, auto-off). There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that suggest adaptive learning or intelligent decision-making based on data. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is specifically designed for the "treatment of chronic, acute, and post-surgical pain," which directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a TENS unit used for the "treatment" of pain, not for diagnosis. Its features (intensity control, frequency modes, pulse width settings) are all related to providing therapy, not gathering diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a battery-powered TENS device containing hardware components such as a printed circuit board, intensity controlled channels, switches, windows, and a display.

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 treatment of pain (chronic, acute, and post-surgical). IVDs are used for the diagnosis of diseases or conditions by examining specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator). TENS devices deliver electrical impulses to the body for pain relief. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the EA Stimulator is a therapeutic device used for pain management, not a diagnostic device used for testing biological samples.
