No
The device description mentions "automatically measuring body temperatures" to determine stimulation intensity, but this is described as a direct measurement using thermistors, not a complex learning or predictive algorithm characteristic of AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML in the provided text, nor are there descriptions of training or test sets which would be typical for an AI/ML-based device.
Yes
The device is intended for the "symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and/or management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain," which describes therapeutic applications.
No
The primary purpose of the device is to deliver electrical stimulation for pain relief, not to diagnose a medical condition. While it measures body temperature to determine stimulation intensity, this is part of its therapeutic function, not for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as electrodes, treatment leads, dual output jacks, and thermistors, and describes the delivery of electrical stimulation, indicating it is a physical device with software control, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and/or management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain" through electrical stimulation. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device delivers electrical stimulation and measures body temperature to determine stimulation intensity. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, the VT-200 system, as described, is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The VT-200, or VECTTOR system, delivers electrical stimulation via electrodes on acupressure points of a patient's feet/legs and hands/arms to provide symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and/or management of post-surgical pain. Once these electrodes are placed, the machine determines the appropriate stimulation intensity by automatically measuring body temperatures through the use of two specially designed Thermistors placed on the fingers during a testing sequence. The VT-200 delivers four channels of current from dual output jacks through Treatment Leads and Electrodes which are positioned on the patient's body according to treatment protocols.

VT-200 Interferential Current Therapy Device Interferential Current Therapy (LIH)
Predicate Device:
Dynatron STS (K010565)
Intended Use:
Electrical stimulation delivered by the device is intended for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and/or management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain.
Functional Description and Technological Characteristics:
The VT-200, or VECTTOR system, delivers electrical stimulation via electrodes on acupressure points of a patient's feet/legs and hands/arms to provide symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and/or management of post-surgical pain. Once these electrodes are placed, the machine determines the appropriate stimulation intensity by automatically measuring body temperatures through the use of two specially designed Thermistors placed on the fingers during a testing sequence.

510(k) Notification: VT-200 May 24, 2012
Substantial Equivalence:
The VT-200 and the Dynatron STS have the same intended use and functional characteristics. The VT-200 takes some of the manual portions of the Dynatron STS and automates them using software. In summary, the VT-200 is functionally equivalent to the Dynatron STS and therefore, substantially equivalent.
Performance Testing:
Performance testing of the VT-200 has been conducted for functional and design verification and validation. The testing indicates the device is in compliance with the following recognized consensus standards:
- IEC 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1 : General . Requirements for Safety
- IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General . Requirements for Safety, Electromagnetic Compatibility-Requirements and Tests
