Device Description
The MAXEMS are battery operated pulse generators that send electrical impulses through electrodes to the body and reach the underlying muscle group. The devices are provided with two controllable output channels, each independent of each other. An electrode pair can be connected to each output channel. Use of legally marketed, standard carbon film electrodes with a biocompatible adhesive, that are a minimum of 48mmx48mm in size and have an impedance of less than 2k ohms is recommended. The MAXEMS 1000 is an analogue unit with dual channels and a selectable pulse rate of 5, 30, and 100 Hz. The MAXEMS 2000 is a digital unit with an adjustable pulse rate from 1 to 150Hz.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on basic electrical stimulation parameters (pulse rate, channels) and does not mention any adaptive, learning, or intelligent features. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described with specific 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' which align with therapeutic purposes, such as relaxing muscles, preventing muscle atrophy, and increasing blood circulation. It is also an Electrical Muscle Stimulator (EMS), which is a type of therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a pulse generator used for muscle stimulation and relaxation, not for identifying diseases or conditions. Its intended uses are therapeutic, such as muscle re-education and preventing disuse atrophy.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "battery operated pulse generator" and mentions "output channels" and "electrodes," indicating it is a hardware device that generates electrical impulses.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the MAXEMS devices are "battery operated pulse generators that send electrical impulses through electrodes to the body and reach the underlying muscle group." This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to stimulating muscles and improving physical function, not diagnosing or detecting conditions based on biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the MAXEMS device falls under the category of a physical therapy or rehabilitation device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
