Intended Use
The Gemore Muscle Conditioner, model GM310PE/GM320PE/GM330PE/GM340PE/ GM350PE are intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Gemore Muscle Conditioner, model GM310PE/GM320PE/GM330PE/GM340PE/ GM350PE are not intended to be used in conjuction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the Gemore Muscle Conditioned training programs are designed for injured or ailing muscle and it's use on such muscle in contraindicated. The Gemore Muscle Conditioner, model GM310PE/GM320PE/GM330PE/GM340PE/ GM350PE electrically impulse triggering actions potentials on motoneurones of motor nerves(excitations). The excitations of motoneurones are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the motor endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber response that correspond to muscle work. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses(pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration of rest, total session duration), different type of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The various types of muscle work that Gemore Muscle Conditioner can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Gemore Muscle Conditioner, model GM310PE/GM320PE/GM330PE/GM340PE/ GM350PE may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training.
Device Description
The Gemore Muscle Conditioner, model GM310PE/GM330PE/GM340PE/GM340PE/GM350PE are the battery-operated programmable muscle stimulator intended to improve or facilitate muscle performance by applying an electrical current to electrodes, which is attached on the healthy muscle. Gemore Muscle Conditioner, model GM310PE/GM330PE/GM330PE/GM40PE/GM350PE, consists mainly of three parts: the stimulator , special butterfly type self-adhesive electrode (GelPads), and leader wire fitting for the stimulation of any healthy muscle of body. The stimulator generates the output current specified as the input of controller. The output port transmits the output current to the electrode, which is attached to the specified region, so as to transmit this stimulus current to the healthy muscle the following intended purposes: - to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance.
More Information

No
The document describes a programmable muscle stimulator that applies electrical current based on pre-defined parameters, with no mention of AI or ML technologies for adapting or learning from user input or muscle response.

No
The device explicitly states it is "not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind" and that its use on "injured or ailing muscle is contraindicated." Its purpose is to stimulate healthy muscles to improve performance, not to provide therapeutic treatment.

No.

The device is intended to stimulate healthy muscles to improve performance, acting as a muscle training technique. It is explicitly stated that it is "not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind" and its use on injured or ailing muscle is "contraindicated." This indicates its purpose is not to diagnose or identify medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a stimulator, electrodes, and leader wire, which are hardware components. While software verification is mentioned, the device is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Gemore Muscle Conditioner's Intended Use: The intended use of the Gemore Muscle Conditioner is to "stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance." It explicitly states it is "not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind."
  • Mechanism of Action: The device works by applying electrical impulses to the surface of the skin to stimulate muscles directly, not by analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Gemore Muscle Conditioner falls under the category of a physical therapy or muscle stimulation device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
