Intended Use
SudoPath is a Galvanic skin response measurement device. The SudoPath provides values. It is the physician's responsibility to make proper judgments based on these numbers. The device is indicated for use in general adult population Prescription Use: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Device Description
SudoPath is a programmable electro medical system including: USB plug and play hardware device including an electronic box, 2 reusable cables to connect the box to electrodes and 4 tactile electrodes placed on the sole of the feet and on the palm of the hands. Software installed on a computer. As a galvanic skin response measurement device, it measures the skin resistance (i.e., conductance).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard galvanic skin response measurement device that provides raw values. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any algorithms that process the data beyond basic measurement.

No
The device is described as a measurement device that provides values for a physician to interpret, and there is no mention of it being used for therapy or treatment.

Yes
Explanation: The device provides values (measurements) that a physician uses to make judgments, which aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device. It measures galvanic skin response, which is a physiological indicator used in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes hardware components: "USB plug and play hardware device including an electronic box, 2 reusable cables to connect the box to electrodes and 4 tactile electrodes".

Based on the provided information, the SudoPath 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.
  • SudoPath's Function: The SudoPath device measures galvanic skin response (skin resistance/conductance) by placing electrodes on the surface of the skin (feet and hands). This is a measurement taken on the body, not from a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes it as a galvanic skin response measurement device that provides values for the physician to interpret. This aligns with a physiological measurement device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the SudoPath device falls under the category of a medical device that performs a physiological measurement, but it is not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Maarek:

Re:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
