The description focuses on mechanical resistance, vibration biofeedback based on direct force sensing, and audio guidance, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, pattern recognition, or adaptive feedback.
Yes
The device is intended for strengthening pelvic floor muscles to help with urinary incontinence, which is a therapeutic purpose. The description explicitly states that "The therapeutic effect is from the user using the device to exercise the pelvic floor muscles."
No.
The device description states its purpose is for strengthening pelvic floor muscles and providing biofeedback to verify correct muscle usage and effectiveness of exercises, not to diagnose a condition. Its output is biofeedback for exercise, not diagnostic information.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "intra-vaginal exercise device" and details physical components like a "Main Body," "Resistance Sheaths," a "PCB assembly," and batteries. It also describes mechanical testing and biocompatibility testing related to these physical components.
Based on the provided information, the Vibrance Kegel Device (VKD) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- VKD Function: The VKD is an intra-vaginal exercise device intended to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. It works by providing resistance and biofeedback based on the user's muscle contractions. It does not analyze any bodily fluids or tissues.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for strengthening muscles to help with urinary incontinence, not for diagnosing a condition based on laboratory analysis.
- Device Description: The description focuses on mechanical components, biofeedback mechanisms, and resistance levels, all related to physical exercise and muscle strengthening.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described (mechanical testing, biocompatibility, electromagnetic compatibility, risk analysis) are typical for a physical medical device, not an IVD. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples or diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity or specificity.
Therefore, the Vibrance Kegel Device falls under the category of a physical medical device used for therapeutic exercise and muscle strengthening, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Vibrance Kegel Device (VKD700) is an intra-vaginal exercise device intended to strengthen the pelvic floor musculature by offering resistance to an individual's voluntary contractions of these muscles. The Vibrance Kegel Device incorporates an active vibration biofeedback mechanism for the identification of the pelvic floor muscles, and the sheaths provide graduated resistance levels for the progressive strengthening of the pelvic floor muscle.
The therapeutic effect is from the user using the device to exercise the pelvic floor muscles in accordance with the exercise program included in the instructions. The device provides biofeedback information that allows the user to verify the use of the correct muscles in the exercise routine and thus the effectiveness of the exercises undertaken. The device also includes a resistive component to the training program to strengthen the pelvic floor muscle via physiologic principles. The biofeedback mechanism works by directly sensing the force applied by the pelvic floor muscle.
The device consists of a Main Body and three Resistance Sheaths with varying degrees of stiffness. It has a PCB assembly, and is battery powered by two independent 3V CR 1220 Lithium Batteries operating on two independent, enclosed electronic circuits for the vibration biofeedback loop and the other for audio guided training. The maximum diameter of the Vibrance Kegel Device shaft is 2.4 cm. The maximum inserted length of the shaft is 6 cm.
Main Body
The chassis of the device consists of an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic frame with the biofeedback mechanism. It is incorporated within a tubular sheath made of medical grade silicone rubber which encloses the whole chassis. This main body and resistance sheath are the parts of the device that directly contact the user's intra-vaginal cavity. The base of the tubular sheath and chassis are winged to prevent total ingestion of the device into the vaginal canal.
Resistance Sheath
Three Resistance Sheaths, each with varying levels of stiffness are included with the Vibrance Kegel Device. When a Resistance Sheath is placed over the Main Body, the challenge of the exercise is increased.

9. Non-Clinical Performance Data
The following testing has been performed to support substantial equivalence:
Mechanical Testing – Compression testing was conducted on the Vibrance Kegel Device to measure the forces required to vibrate the sensor for each of the three levels of resistance sheath. A pull off test was also conducted to evaluate how much force is needed for the sheath to be removed from the main body when the device is in use, but is adequate for removal of a sheath after use. A correlation measurement test was then conducted to evaluate the test results of the compression test. The mechanical testing concluded that the different components of the device would function properly and safely when exposed to loads and configurations representative of normal use.
Biocompatibility - The biological safety of the Vibrance Kegel Device was evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009 and guidance document entitled Blue Book Memo, G95-1, Use of International Standard ISO-10993, and Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices: Part 1: Evaluation and Testing. Under these, for the stated indications for use, each component of the device's biological safety was evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, and vaginal irritation.
- In Vitro Cytotoxicity test was performed according to ISO 10993-12 and ISO 10993-5, with the results suggesting that the test articles did not induce a cytotoxic effect.
- Skin Sensitization (Maximization Test) was performed according to ISO 10993-10, with the results suggesting that the device extracts did not produce skin sensitization in guinea pigs.
- Irritation (Vaginal Irritation Study) was performed on New Zealand White Rabbits according to ISO 10993-10, with the results showing that there were no significant clinical signs and gross findings in either the control or test group, and there were no mortalities.
Electromagnetic Compatibility - The Vibrance Kegel Device complies with the applicable voluntary standards which include IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11. The Vibrance Kegel Device complies with these voluntary standards including IEC 60601-1-11 for Electrical Safety and for systems used in the home healthcare environment.
Risk Analysis - Formal Risk Assessment of the Vibrance Kegel Device was performed in accordance with ISO 14971. With respect to perceivable conditions in which the device would be subjected to a worst-case environmental or human error scenario, Bioinfinity believes the outcomes of these risks are considered acceptable within the context of ISO 14971, and that all potential risks have been mitigated to the lowest form.

These types of devices, including the predicate devices, have been on the market for many years with a proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device.
11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device; or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics that can be demonstrated as substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences between the Vibrance Kegel Device and the predicate device do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The Bioinfinity (M) Sdn. Bhd. Vibrance Kegel Device, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.
