No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description refers to a "stored program" rather than adaptive or learning algorithms.
Yes
The device is indicated for symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain, post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain, and post-operative pain, which are therapeutic uses.
No
The device is indicated for pain relief, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "multi-channel TENS device" which generates and controls stimulation impulses, indicating it includes hardware components for electrical stimulation, not just software.
Based on the provided information, the Scrambler Therapy MC-5A TENS Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "Symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain, post surgical and posttraumatic acute pain" and "Symptomatic relief of acute pain" and "Symptomatic relief of post-operative pain". This describes a therapeutic device used to treat pain in a living patient.
- Device Description: The description details a "multi-channel TENS device" that generates electrical impulses for pain relief. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Scrambler Therapy MC-5A TENS Device does not fit this description.

Dear Ms. McNamara-Cullinane:
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.
