Intended Use
The Mini Patch, model: WL-2301A & WL-2301B Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators are intended for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the upper and lower extremities (arm and/or leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.
Device Description
The Mini Patch, models WL-2301B are transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator used for pain relief by applying an electrical current to electrodes, which are attached on the skin. The output and waveform characteristic is fixed for every model, only the intensity is adjustable. The Mini Patch, models WL-2301A & WL-2301AB, consist mainly of two parts: the stimulus generator, electrode. The stimulus generator 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 patient's skin so as to transmit this stimulus current to the patient for pain relief. The stimulation mode for Mini Patch is burst mode with fixed pulse rate, frequency, and fixed timer, only amplitude is adjustable. This operation way is considered the simplification from the burst mode of comparison clear model, WL-2302(K020020). Every model of Mini-TENS has its individual stimulation operation cycle.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on fixed parameters and adjustable intensity, with no mention of adaptive algorithms, learning, or AI/ML terms. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) intended for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles, which classifies it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) intended for pain relief by applying electrical current to muscles. Its stated purpose is temporary relief of pain and it does not mention any capabilities for diagnosing conditions, only for treating symptoms.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a stimulus generator and electrodes, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, 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 that the Mini Patch is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. It works by applying electrical current to the skin for pain relief. This is an external application of energy to the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the Mini Patch, models WL-2301A & WL-2301B, are therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostic devices.
