No
The device description focuses on the physical components and function of surface electrodes for electrodiagnostic equipment, with no mention of AI or ML for data analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is described as being used for recording electrophysiological activity and stimulating peripheral nerves for diagnosis, not for treating a condition.
Yes
The device is described as being used with "electrodiagnostic equipment for the recording of electrophysiological activity from peripheral nerves and muscles" and for "measurement of bioelectrical phenomena in the body, such as peripheral nerve or muscle responses." This clearly indicates its role in diagnosing conditions related to nerve and muscle function.
No
The device description clearly details physical components (surface electrodes, embedded digital thermometer, ruler) which are hardware, not software.
Based on the provided text, the NeuroMetrix UNIVERSAL Electrodes are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves analyzing substances like blood, urine, tissue, etc., outside of the body.
- Device Function: The NeuroMetrix UNIVERSAL Electrodes are described as surface electrodes that interface with electrodiagnostic equipment. They are used for:
- Recording electrophysiological activity: Measuring bioelectrical signals from peripheral nerves and muscles on the body.
- Peripheral nerve electrical stimulation: Applying electrical stimulation to peripheral nerves on the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for use with electrodiagnostic equipment for recording and stimulating peripheral nerves and muscles. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not an in vitro (outside the living body) application.
The device is a tool used on the patient's body to interact with their physiological signals, not to analyze specimens taken from the patient's body.

6. BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The two UNIVERSAL Electrodes that are the subject of this 510(k) Premarket Notrfication are substantially equivalent to the predicate UNIVERSAL Electrodes (K081871) The proposed and predicate UNIVERSAL Electrodes share intended use, clinical applications, and technological characteristics
The materials, manufacturing process, and packaging for the two new UNIVERSAL Electrodes are the same as for NeuroMetrix Biosensors (K060584) and are therefore also substantially equivalent to these devices
