No
The summary describes a basic electro-acupuncture device with no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies. The performance studies listed are standard electrical safety and biocompatibility tests, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is described as an "ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE" intended for "stimulation" in the practice of acupuncture, which falls under the definition of therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as an "ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE for use in the practice of acupuncture" and is "intended for the stimulation at hands of patient." Its purpose is therapeutic stimulation, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "battery powered portable instrument" with "conducting lead wire" and "two electrodes," indicating it is a hardware 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 "ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE for use in the practice of acupuncture... for the stimulation at hands of patient." This describes a therapeutic or diagnostic device that interacts directly with the patient's body, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description details electrodes that make contact with the patient's hands for stimulation. This aligns with an electro-acupuncture device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, based on the provided text, the ACULIFE/Model IDOC-01 is an electro-acupuncture device, not an IVD.

Substantial equivalence: Inno-Health Aculife Electro-Acupuncture/ model SMW-01 (510K number: K051197)

Description of the Device:

The device consists of a battery powered portable instrument, with a basic power pack which is connected by conducting lead wire to two electrodes (one probe electrode and one big adhesive electrode) which make contact for hands stimulation.

Indications For Use:

The intended use of ACULIFE/Model IDOC-01 is an ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE DEVICE for use in the practice of acupuncture by qualified practitioners of acupuncture as determined by the states.

ACULIFE/model IDOC-01 is intended for the stimulation at hands of patient.

Technological Characteristics:

ACULIFE uses a 4.5V/DC battery or 5V adaptor as the supply power of the stimulation unit. It can be adjusted for the output amplitude, keep the memory of chosen amplitude, and set the operation time. The electrode combination and lead wire provide the electro-acupuncture stimulation for hand by or on the order of a qualified practitioner of acupuncture as determined by the states.
