Intended Use
The AvivaFix Conductive Garment – Knee, AvivaFix Conductive Garment – Shoulder, and AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Upper Back (all Type 420) devices are intended for use with Neurotech Stimulator devices. It is intended to aid in the repeatable placement of electrodes (under the guidance of a clinician) and secure them in place. The AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Knee, AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Shoulder, and AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Upper Back (all Type 420) devices also maintain a level of compression in the areas of electrode placement to maintain electrode placement during treatment. The AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Knee, Type 420 is intended for use on the knee. The AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Shoulder, Type 420 is intended for use on the shoulder. The AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Upper Back, Type 420 is intended for use on the upper back (cervical) area. The AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Knee, AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Shoulder, and AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Upper Back (all Type 420) devices and associated accessories are indicated for use with Neurotech Stimulators to facilitate the frequent and correct positioning and repositioning of large, multiple, and/or difficult to reach stimulation sites associated with the shoulder, knee and upper back (cervical) areas.
Device Description
The AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Knee, AvivaFix Conductive Garment -- Shoulder, and AvivaFix Conductive Garment - Upper Back (all Type 420) are intended for use in conjunction with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). The garments aid in the placement of electrodes and secure the electrodes in place. The inner layer of the garment is constructed of Breathoprene", which is a breathable, stretchable fabric developed by AccuMed Technologies as a neoprene substitute to keep skin cooler and drier by wicking away perspiration.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and function of a conductive garment for electrode placement and compression, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is a garment that aids in the placement and securing of electrodes for use with Neurotech Stimulator devices (TENS/NMES), but it does not directly provide a therapeutic effect itself. Its function is to facilitate the correct positioning of electrodes for a separate therapeutic device (the stimulator).

No

The device is described as an aid for electrode placement and securement for TENS and NMES, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic modalities.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "garment" constructed of "fabric," which are physical, non-software components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The AvivaFix Conductive Garments are external garments designed to aid in the placement and securement of electrodes for electrical stimulation (TENS and NMES). They are applied to the body and do not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the purpose is to facilitate electrode placement and securement for use with Neurotech Stimulator devices. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the AvivaFix Conductive Garments fall under the category of medical devices used for external application and support, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
