Device Description
Everyway Traction Unit, model EVER-TRAC ET-800 is a medical device constructed for use in conjunction with traction accessories, such as belts and harnesses, to exert therapeutic pulling forces on the patient's body. For this intended operation function, ET-800 is the combination of driving moter, speed reduction gear, pulley assembly, spring, force and speed control unit... etc. All of the operational parts as above mentioned are mounted on the frame of device housing. The pulling force for ET-800 is generated by the combination of induction motor and speed reduction gear. For the operation of ET-800, the single phase AC power shall be supplied from the general wall socket of house (Note: In USA, the power supply specification is single phase, 60Hz, 120V). Basically ET-800 is a microprocessor-controlled traction system in which the operational software is built inside the control unit to properly control the exertion and release of pulling force according to the setting for applying force, operation cycle, and operation time prescribed by the physician. To ensure the safety of operation, the device was designed and constructed to provide the following safety protection: <1> Manual release, <2>Auto shutdown, and <3>Safe protect. In addition, the device also provides warning alarm function for same near dangerous situations as mentioned in user's manual.
More Information

No
The description mentions a "microprocessor-controlled traction system" with "operational software" to control force, cycle, and time based on physician settings. This indicates a programmed system, not one that learns or adapts using AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor any description of training or test data sets which are typical for AI/ML devices.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for medical purpose for use in conjunction with traction accessories... to exert therapeutic pulling forces on the patient's body." The "Device Description" also refers to it as a "medical device" that exerts "therapeutic pulling forces."

No

Explanation: The device, Everyway Traction System, model EVER-TRAC ET-800, is described as a medical device intended to exert therapeutic pulling forces on the patient's body. There is no mention of it being used to collect or analyze data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly details numerous hardware components including a driving motor, speed reduction gear, pulley assembly, spring, force and speed control unit, and a device housing. While it mentions operational software built into the control unit, it is clearly a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "exert therapeutic pulling forces on the patient's body." This describes a physical therapy or rehabilitation application, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details mechanical components (motor, gears, pulleys) and control systems used to apply force. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample handling, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the Everyway Traction System is a therapeutic device that applies physical force to the body, which is fundamentally different from an in vitro diagnostic device that analyzes samples outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.
