No
The document describes a traditional electrical stimulator with pre-set selections and software/firmware control, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning or adaptive capabilities based on data.

Yes
The device is described as an electrical stimulator with specific indications to "Relieve acute pain", "Relieve and manage chronic pain", "Relax muscle spasms", etc., which are all therapeutic purposes.

No
Explanation: The device description and intended use indicate that the RS-4i Plus is an electrical stimulator used for pain relief, muscle stimulation, and other therapeutic purposes. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a hand-held unit, electronic display, user keypad, cable leads, electrode pads, and a removable battery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The indications listed are for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, muscle stimulation, etc.) applied directly to the patient's body. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details an electrical stimulator that delivers current to the patient. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

This device is clearly a therapeutic electrical stimulator.

capability to program the device's output by the care giver to match the patient's condition through the use of pre-set selections. The RS-4i Plus is hand held with an electronic display, digital single processor, software/firmware controlled functions, user keypad, cable leads and electrode pads, multiple output channels, removable, rechargeable battery, and patient data files and retrieval capability.

Technological characteristics:

Several technological characteristics of the device were modified from the predicate. These include physical characteristics to enhance the usability of the device such as more information on display and additional function keys. The processor was changed from a DSP to a MCU component. The battery was changed from a NiMH type with charger to a removable Lithium-Ion smart battery type with charging dock. Patient leads were changed from 4 pairs that are bundled to 4 individual cables with 2 leads each. For patient data, both devices include a NVRAM adapter and the RS-4i Plus also includes a USB adapter.

The RS-4i Plus was assessed and tested for its basic unit characteristics and output specifications. The results show that the RS-4i Plus is equivalent to the RS-4i.
