Intended Use
ActhyDerm is indicated for the administration of soluble salts or other drugs into the body for medical purposes as an alternative to hypodermic injections.
Device Description
ActhyDerm is a device that is a microprocessor controlled iontophoresis drug delivery system. The microprocessor bas four pre-set programs for penetration of the 1) epidermis, 2) dermis, 3) adipose, 4) muscle. It has a dispersive electrode and roller electrodes. An FDA approved conductive grounding pad is also required prior to its use. Introducing ions can be accomplished with ActhyDerm's Dispensing Electrode and roller using methods described with operator's manual: roller conducts current to the skin via the product to be delivered. The product has a positive charge, the current coming into the roller has a positive charge and when they meet the current are diffused into the skin are diffused into the skin.

No
The description mentions a microprocessor with pre-set programs, but there is no indication of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition characteristic of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes.
The device is used for the administration of drugs into the body for medical purposes, which is a therapeutic function.

No
The device description states its purpose is for "administration of soluble salts or other drugs into the body for medical purposes as an alternative to hypodermic injections," which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "microprocessor controlled iontophoresis drug delivery system" with physical components like electrodes and requires a grounding pad, indicating it is a hardware device with software control, not a software-only device.

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 administration of drugs into the body, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a drug delivery system that uses iontophoresis to facilitate the penetration of substances into the skin. This is a method of administering treatment, not performing a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on the device's operation.

Therefore, ActhyDerm is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 890.5525 Iontophoresis device.

(a)
Iontophoresis device intended for certain specified uses —(1)Identification. An iontophoresis device is a device that is intended to use a direct current to introduce ions of soluble salts or other drugs into the body and induce sweating for use in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis or for other uses if the labeling of the drug intended for use with the device bears adequate directions for the device's use with that drug. When used in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, the sweat is collected and its composition and weight are determined.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Iontophoresis device intended for any other purposes —(1)Identification. An iontophoresis device intended for any other purposes is a prescription device that is intended to use a current to introduce ions of drugs or non-drug solutions into the body for medical purposes other than those specified in paragraph (a) of this section, meaning that the device is not intended for use in diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, or a specific drug is not specified in the labeling of the iontophoresis device.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II. The special controls for this device are:(i) The following performance testing must be conducted:
(A) Testing using a drug approved for iontophoretic delivery, or a solution if identified in the labeling, to demonstrate safe use of the device as intended;
(B) Testing of the ability of the device to maintain a safe pH level; and
(C) If used in the ear, testing of the device to demonstrate mechanical safety.
(ii) Labeling must include adequate instructions for use, including sufficient information for the health care provider to determine the device characteristics that affect delivery of the drug or solution and to select appropriate drug or solution dosing information for administration by iontophoresis. This includes the following:
(A) A description and/or graphical representation of the electrical output;
(B) A description of the electrode materials and pH buffer;
(C) When intended for general drug delivery, language referring the user to drug labeling approved for iontophoretic delivery to determine if the drug they intend to deliver is specifically approved for use with that type of device and to obtain relevant dosing information; and
(D) A detailed summary of the device-related and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device, and appropriate warnings and contraindications, including the following warning:

Warning: Potential systemic adverse effects may result from use of this device. Drugs or solutions delivered with this device have the potential to reach the blood stream and cause systemic effects. Carefully read all labeling of the drug or solution used with this device to understand all potential adverse effects and to ensure appropriate dosing information. If systemic manifestations occur, refer to the drug or solution labeling for appropriate action.(iii) Appropriate analysis/testing must demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, thermal safety, and mechanical safety.
(iv) Appropriate software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
(v) The elements of the device that may contact the patient must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(vi) The elements of the device that may contact the patient must be assessed for sterility, for devices labeled as sterile.
(vii) Performance data must support the shelf life of the elements of the device that may be affected by aging by demonstrating continued package integrity and device functionality over the stated shelf life.
