The description focuses on electrical stimulation technology and pre-defined programs, with no mention of adaptive algorithms, learning, or AI/ML terms.
Yes
The device is intended for therapeutic uses such as muscle re-education, increasing range of motion, prevention of disuse atrophy, strengthening, and increasing local blood circulation.
No
The device's Intended Use and Device Description clearly state its purpose is for muscle stimulation and re-education, not for detecting, identifying, or monitoring medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components including a control unit, garment, electrodes, battery charger, and rechargeable battery pack, indicating it is a physical medical device with electrical stimulation capabilities, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of transfused blood.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulator" that applies electrical stimulation to the peripheral nervous system to cause muscular contractions. It is used for muscle re-education, range of motion, atrophy prevention, strengthening, and increasing blood circulation.
- No Specimen Examination: The device does not examine any specimens derived from the human body. It directly interacts with the body through electrical stimulation.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to physical therapy and rehabilitation, not diagnostic testing of biological samples.
Therefore, the Kneehab XP Conductive Garment falls under the category of a therapeutic or rehabilitative medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Kneehab XP conductive garment, type 411 is indicated for muscle re-education of the quadriceps, maintaining or increasing range of motion of the knee joint, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy in the quadriceps, early post-surgical quadriceps strengthening and improved post-surgical knee stability secondary to quadriceps strengthening and increasing local blood circulation.

Device Description
The Kneehab XP Conductive Garment is a portable, two-channel transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulator incorporating multipath®, a patented technology developed by neurotech®. This technology enables the Kneehab XP Conductive Garment to deliver highly focused and accurate quadriceps contractions and operates by using constant current pulses to stimulate the nerves in the quadriceps area of the body. These pulses are designed to cause muscular contractions through the application of electrical stimulation to the peripheral nervous system.
The Kneehab XP pack consists of a rechargeable control unit, a left or right universally sized garment, a pack of custom adhesive electrodes, a battery charger and instructions for use. The garment is fastened around the thigh and above the kneecap and contains a connector socket into which the control unit is plugged. Power is derived from a 3.6V NiMH rechargeable battery pack that is pre-installed in the unit. A battery charger is included with the device. This device cannot be used while being charged.
All internal connections of the unit are over molded to prevent moisture ingress. The user has no access to the wiring or connectors within the garment and is unable to alter the current path. There are three treatment programs in total with duration of 20 minutes each. Program details are included in the instructions for use. For purposes of hygiene, the garment may be cleaned and instructions for device care are included in the user manual.

5. Statement of Intended Use/Indications for Use
Kneehab XP applies muscle and nerve stimulation by using the principles of Neuromuscular Electrical Nerve Stimulation (NMES). NMES is the application of electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system to contract a muscle either through the direct activation of the motor neurons in the mixed peripheral nerve, or indirectly through reflex recruitment. Kneehab XP applied brief electrical pulses through skin surface adhesive electrodes.
The Kneehab XP conductive garment, type 411 is indicated for muscle re-education of the quadriceps, maintaining or increasing range of motion of the knee joint, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy in the quadriceps, early post-surgical quadriceps strengthening and improved post-surgical knee stability secondary to quadriceps strengthening and increasing local blood circulation.
