Intended Use
Pain Management for use with interferential and/or TENS mode programs/parameters Stimulate peripheral nerves for the purpose of providing pain relief. Management and symptomatic relief of chronic (long-term) intractable pain. Adjunctive treatment of post-traumatic pain. Adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain. Muscle Stimulation for use with muscle stimulation programs Increasing local blood circulation. Maintaining or increasing range of motion. Muscle Re-education. Relaxation of muscle spasms. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of the calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
Device Description
NeuroMed Electroanalgesic Delivery Systems consist of a system console with a control and display panel, control electronics and software and device accessories including a suction cup electrode applicator, electrodes and cables. The device uses regular household current as a power source. The physical measurements of the device are 17.5" long x 11.5" wide x 5.5" high at a weight of approximately 9 Ibs. NeuroMed Electroanagesic Delivery Systems is an electrical signal generator which applies sinusoidal current through two pairs of contact electrodes using temporal interference patterns to stimulate muscles and peripheral nerves transcutaneously for the purpose of providing pain relief or as an adjunctive treatment in physical therapy. Alternatively, this device can perform the forementioned functions by applying sinusoidal current through only one pair of electrodes.

No
The description focuses on electrical signal generation and stimulation using established techniques (interferential and TENS). There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning/adaptive capabilities.

Yes
The device is described with "Intended Use" that includes "Pain Management" and "Muscle Stimulation," both of which are therapeutic applications. It is also explicitly stated that the device stimulates nerves and muscles "for the purpose of providing pain relief or as an adjunctive treatment in physical therapy," which indicates a therapeutic function.

No

The device is described as an "electrical signal generator" that applies sinusoidal current to "stimulate muscles and peripheral nerves transcutaneously for the purpose of providing pain relief or as an adjunctive treatment in physical therapy." Its intended uses are pain management and muscle stimulation. These functions are therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a system console with control and display panels, control electronics, software, and accessories including electrodes and cables, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated 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 used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an "electrical signal generator which applies sinusoidal current through two pairs of contact electrodes... to stimulate muscles and peripheral nerves transcutaneously." This is a form of electrical stimulation applied externally to the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are for pain management and muscle stimulation, which are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic testing of bodily specimens.
  • Lack of Specimen Handling: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing any biological specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic electrical stimulator, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of technological characteristic in comparison to predicate devices:

The NeuroMed Electroanalgesic Delivery Systems and the predicate devices are console type electrical signal generators which apply sinusoidal current through two pairs of contact electrodes to the patient. Their output currents consist of similar intensity and frequency range. They have electronic control circuits with embedded software and use common household current as a power source. They are in compliance with equivalent IEC standards.

Conclusions:

The NeuroMed Electroanalgesic Delivery Systems have the same intended use and similar characteristics as the predicate devices. Documentation supplied in this submission demonstrates that any differences in their technological characteristics do not raise any new concerns of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the NeuroMed Electroanalgesic Delivery Systems can be determined to be substantially equivalent to the the predicate devices.
