The EM-38 is a selectable dual channel TENS device operated by 4.5 V (3xAAA-Alkaline batteries). It comes with a convenient belt that features 4 sewn-in permanent electrodes and build-in wires and a receptacle for the control unit. There are 4 selectable pre-programmed output waveforms to choose from and the intensity levels are adjustable from 0 to 152 mA. Running times can be adjusted from 22 to 31 min. Other information displayed on the LCD display are operation mode, output waveform (programs) output strength, time remaining and battery low warning. A lock function provides extra safety for the user.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard TENS unit with selectable pre-programmed waveforms and adjustable intensity and time. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any adaptive or learning capabilities. The performance studies focus on functional performance, electrical safety, and software verification according to FDA guidance, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

Yes
The device is described as an "OTC TENS unit" for "relief of pain associated with sore or aching muscles," which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for pain relief through electrical stimulation, not for identifying or diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components including batteries, a belt with electrodes and wires, and a control unit. While software verification is mentioned, the device is clearly a physical TENS unit with integrated software, not a standalone software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the relief of pain associated with sore or aching muscles of the lower back. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit, which is a device that delivers electrical impulses to the body for pain relief. This is a physical therapy modality, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device operates externally on the body for pain relief.
