The summary describes a standard TENS/NMES device and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as a Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device for pain relief and a Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) device for various muscular conditions, which are therapeutic applications.
No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section describes the device as a TENS device for pain relief and an NMES device for muscle stimulation and rehabilitation. These are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held stimulator designed to pass electrical signals via surface electrodes through the skin," indicating it includes hardware components for electrical stimulation.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) device. It works by passing electrical signals through the skin to nerves or muscles. This is a direct interaction with the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are for pain relief, muscle stimulation, and related therapeutic applications. These are not diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the Acticare HFT/HFI is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is used for the symptomatic relief and management of pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post surgical and post-traumatic acute pain. Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) is used for the relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, muscle re-education, immediate post-surgical stimulation of the calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis and to maintain or increase the range of motion. The device can be used in clinical, domestic and other environments.
As a Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device for:
the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, and
as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical or post-traumatic pain.
As a Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) device for:
the relaxation of muscle spasms,

Document ref: QA-00106 Acticare_510(k)_Submission.doc Revision date: March 12, 2009
Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is used for the Intended Use: symptomatic relief and management of pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post surgical and post-traumatic acute pain. Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) is used for the relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, muscle re-education, immediate post-surgical stimulation of the calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis and to maintain or increase the range of motion. The device can be used in clinical, domestic and other environments. Technology Comparison to Acticare is very similar to the predicate devices and has technology Predicate Device: characteristics that are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Acticare and the five predicate devices all transmit clectrical pulses through the skin. The range of amplitudes, pulse widths, frequencies and polarities delivered by Acticare is within the ranges delivered by the predicate devices. Acticare and the five predicate devices can all be used in clinical, domestic and other environments. The device was tested in accordance with the tests specified in Non-clinical Testing: IEC 60601-2-10:2001 supported by the following testing below: IEC 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General IEC 60601-11988 Requirements for Safety, 1988; Amendment 1, 1991-11, Amendment 2, 1995 IEC 60601-1-1:2000 Safety requirements for medical electrical systems IEC 60601-1-2:2005 EMC compatibility (and additional FCC requirements) IEC 60601-1-4:2000 Software for use in Medical Devices. Conclusion: Acticare and the four predicate devices have the same intended uses and similar technical characteristics, performances and applications. The information supplied in the full 510(k) application illustrates that the device does not pose any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Acticare is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Declaration: This summary has been compiled in accordance with FDA guidelines and includes only information that is also covered in the body of the 510(k) and does not contain any puffery or unsubstantiated labeling

Dear Ms. Oakes:
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.
