Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description is for a standard interferential stimulator, which typically does not incorporate AI/ML.

Yes
The intended use explicitly states "symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or an adjunctive treatment in the management of postsurgical and posttraumatic acute pain," which are therapeutic claims.

No
The device is described as an "interferential stimulator" used for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or an adjunctive treatment in the management of postsurgical and posttraumatic acute pain." This indicates a therapeutic or pain management function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as an "interferential stimulator," which is a type of electrical stimulation device. These devices typically involve hardware components that deliver electrical currents to the body. The summary does not mention any software-only aspects or exclude hardware.

Based on the provided information, the MAX-IF1000 interferential stimulator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for symptomatic relief and management of pain. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description identifies it as a stimulator, which is a type of device that applies electrical impulses to the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.
    • Using reagents or other materials for testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The MAX-IF1000 operates externally on the body for pain relief, which falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Ms. Burton:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic
