Device Description
The Electronic Pulse Stimulator is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS), intended for the over-the-counter use to relieve pain in different body areas (waist, back, neck, shoulders, legs, and arms). The proposed Electronic Pulse Stimulator, which is compact, portable, and microprocessorcontrolled, delivers a gentle electrical pulse through the connecting wires and electrode pads to the user's skin for pain relief. According to the need of users, the pulse intensity can be adjustable on the front control panel of the device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions a microprocessor and adjustable pulse intensity, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning or adaptive capabilities. The performance studies focus on electrical safety and software verification, not AI/ML performance.

Yes
The device is described as an Electronic Pulse Stimulator, a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS), intended for the "temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles". This clear indication for pain relief qualifies it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) used for temporary pain relief. Its intended use and operation do not involve diagnosing any medical condition, but rather providing symptomatic relief.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS)" that "delivers a gentle electrical pulse through the connecting wires and electrode pads to the user's skin". This indicates a physical hardware component that delivers electrical stimulation, not solely software. The summary also mentions non-clinical tests for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility, further supporting the presence of hardware.

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 temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles. This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS). TENS devices deliver electrical pulses to the skin for pain relief, which is a physical therapy modality, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or performing any kind of test to diagnose a condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and software verification, which are relevant to the device's function as a stimulator, not as a diagnostic tool.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Dr. Dai:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
