The summary describes a device that uses electrical stimulation and a jaw-movement triggered switch. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, pattern recognition, or adaptive control. The software mentioned appears to be for basic device function and registration.
Yes
The device is indicated for various therapeutic uses such as improvement of hand function, prevention of disuse atrophy, increase of local blood circulation, and reduction of muscle spasm.
No
This device is an electrical stimulation device intended for therapeutic purposes like improving hand function, maintaining range of motion, and preventing atrophy. It does not perform diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components including a Functional Stimulation (FS) Orthosis with an RF Stim Unit, a Control Unit, and the Intelli-Connect triggering device which consists of an earpiece, charger, and connecting cable. The performance studies also include testing for hardware-specific requirements like electrical safety, EMC, battery safety, and mechanical properties.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an electrical stimulation system for rehabilitation purposes, specifically for improving hand function and addressing issues related to muscle function and range of motion. This is a therapeutic and rehabilitative use, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details components like an orthosis, control unit, and a triggering device that uses jaw movements. These are all consistent with a physical therapy or rehabilitation device, not a device used to test samples from the human body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on electrical safety, EMC, battery safety, biocompatibility, software functionality, and user specifications. These are typical tests for a medical device used for physical intervention, not for a diagnostic device.
In summary, the NESS H200® Wireless Hand Rehabilitation System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
