The description details standard electrical muscle stimulation and vibration technology, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The control is described as user-selectable intensity and duration.
Yes
The device explicitly describes a "therapeutic vibrator (Vibration) operation mode...indicated for the promotion of muscle relaxation."
No
The device is intended for muscle toning, firming, and relaxation, which are functional and therapeutic purposes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components like a "flex belt," "cutaneous electrodes," "control panel," and an "eccentric motor." These are physical components, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device operates through electrical muscle stimulation and therapeutic vibration applied externally to the abdominal region. It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended uses are for improving muscle tone, developing a firmer abdomen, and promoting muscle relaxation, all of which are physical effects on the body, not diagnostic tests.
Therefore, the Gymform Dual Flex Belt/WB-162 is a physical therapy/muscle conditioning device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The new device with its proprietary name/model number of Gymform Dual Flex Belt/WB-162 is a single device featured with two modes of operation, independent each other - the electrical muscle stimulation for abdominal muscles conditioning and the therapeutic vibrator for abdominal muscles relaxation.
Upon selected the electrical muscle stimulator (EMS) mode, the flex belt will function as an electrical muscle stimulator capable to achieve toning and firming of muscles in the abdominal region via using transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation which is a technology for muscle conditioning by sending a stream of electric impulses to the motor nerve of muscle via the pair of single-patient/multiple-application biocompatible cutaneous electrodes on the inner surface of the flex belt, the muscle responds to each electric impulse by producing a contractile twitch, just as it would create voluntary muscle contractions during normal training & strengthening practice, and continues to contract until the electric impulse is over the muscle then returns to its relax state. The level of muscle contraction and relaxation is determined by the electric impulse intensity and the duration applied to the motor nerve of muscle, in which is user selectable via the flex belt control panel.
Upon selected the therapeutic vibrator (Vibration) mode, the Gymform Dual Flex Belt (new device) will function as a therapeutic vibrator to perform muscles relaxation. The therapeutic vibrator (Vibration) mode employs the method of electric muscle massage that simulates natural massage movement of a massage therapist, using oscillating movement of the eccentric motor that installed in the instrument casing to produce linear pulling vibrations to relaxing the abdominal muscle region of a patient. Although therapeutic vibrators are classified as a Class I device, the Gymform Dual flex belt/WB-162 is considered a Class II device because it combines a powered muscle stimulator (classified under 21 CFR 890.5850 as Class II) with a therapeutic vibrator (classified under 21 CFR 890.5975 as Class I).

6. Key Technological characteristics comparison
The electric muscles stimulation (EMS) mode of the Gymform Dual Flex Belt and the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708) are designed. developed and built on the technology of transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), otherwise known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Both devices use electric impulses that generated by an electric pulse generator to conduct thru skin contact electrodes onto the abdominal muscle region of the patient to achieve muscles conditioning. The electric muscles stimulation (EMS) mode of the Gymform Dual Flex Belt and the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708)use the totally-enclosed concept that electrodes are wrapped by the flex belt connected to the studs of its electric pulse signal generator built inside the flex belt, become an integral part; such design eliminates the use of external lead wires/patient cables for conductivity needs, helps to prevent undesired interference to the electrodes when operating. For the most part, chances of misuse are substantially reduced as electrodes are pre-positioned in the flex belt restricted to use only on the patient's abdominal region.

Substantial equivalence: ರು.
The electric muscles stimulation (EMS) mode of the Gymform Dual Flex Belt and the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708) are designed, developed and built on the identical technology of electrical muscle stimulation whereby technological characteristics and applications are acquired. Although to some degree there are differences in product specifications, verification and validation tests demonstrated the Gymform Dual Flex Belt maintains same safety and effectiveness as that of the cleared predicate device, the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708). More importantly, the electric muscles stimulation (EMS) mode of the Gymform Dual Flex Belt (new device) is indicated for use on abdominal muscles conditioning which is essentially identical to the predicate device, the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708) that legally marketed in the United States.
Conclusion:
There are unlikely any significant differences existing between the electric muscles stimulation (EMS) mode of the Gymform Dual Flex Belt (new device) and the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708), and should not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.
