Intended Use
The Impulse iQ Adjusting Instrument is intended for chiropractic adjustment, mobilization, or manipulation of the musculoskeletal joints of the spine and/or extremities, or for soft-tissue musculoskeletal mobilization by a licensed health care professional only. For external use only.
Device Description
The Impulse iQ Adjusting Instrument is a hand-held electromechanical chiropractic adjusting instrument. The device has three force settings (low, medium, high), a preload-control indicator light that turns from red to green upon achieving the proper preload, and an internal accelerometer to provide closed-loop feedback controlling thrust pulse rate. The device is only intended for use from a health care professional licensed by the law of the state that he or she practices.
More Information

No
The device description mentions an internal accelerometer providing "closed-loop feedback controlling thrust pulse rate," which is a form of automated control based on sensor input, not necessarily AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, deep learning, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device is described as an "Adjusting Instrument" intended for "chiropractic adjustment, mobilization, or manipulation of the musculoskeletal joints," which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an "Adjusting Instrument" intended for "chiropractic adjustment, mobilization, or manipulation," which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones. It performs mechanical actions (producing force, varying pulse rate) rather than detecting, analyzing, or interpreting biological signals or images to identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held electromechanical chiropractic adjusting instrument," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for chiropractic adjustment, mobilization, or manipulation of musculoskeletal joints and soft tissue. This is a physical intervention performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a hand-held electromechanical instrument that applies force and vibration. It does not involve the examination of specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly operates in vivo (on the body) for therapeutic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies

The Impulse iQ Adjusting Instrument has been mechanically tested and found to produce approximately 100 N, 200 N, and 400 N on its low, medium, and high force settings respectively. Total peak force output is also dependent upon operator preload. The pulse rate varies between 4-12 Hz.

Dear Dr. Colloca:

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.
