More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electro-acupuncture stimulator and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, data sets for training or testing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device description states it introduces electrical impulses into acupuncture needles "for therapeutic purposes."

No

The device is described as an electro-acupuncture stimulator used to introduce electrical impulses for therapeutic purposes, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrical stimulator" that introduces "calibrated and controlled electrical impulses," indicating it is a hardware device. The performance studies also include electrical safety and EMC testing, which are relevant to 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 "use in the practice of acupuncture by qualified practitioners of acupuncture". This involves applying electrical impulses to acupuncture needles inserted into a patient's body for therapeutic purposes. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "electrical stimulator that introduce calibrated and controlled electrical impulses into acupuncture needles inserted into patients". This further confirms its function as a therapeutic device applied to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality based on such examination.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is designed to treat the body directly.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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.
