The summary describes passive electrodes, which are simple interfaces and do not perform complex data processing or analysis typically associated with AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is described as "passive" and "serving as an interface between a user's skin and an electrical stimulation device." It does not provide therapeutic effects itself, but rather facilitates the use of other therapeutic electrical stimulation devices.
No
Explanation: The device is described as "passive" and serves "as an interface between a user's skin and an electrical stimulation device." Its intended use is with therapeutic electrical stimulation devices, rather than for diagnosis.
No
The device is described as "Cutaneous electrodes," which are physical components (hardware) that interface with the skin. The description explicitly states they are "passive devices serving as an interface," indicating a physical product, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the electrodes are for use with electrical stimulation devices applied to the skin (cutaneous). This is a therapeutic or pain management application, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: The description reinforces that they are passive devices serving as an interface between the skin and an electrical stimulation device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples.
- Detecting or measuring substances in the body.
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the PROTENS cutaneous electrodes are a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
PROTENS reusable, self-adhering, over-the-counter Cutaneous electrodes are indicated for use with electrical stimulation device. Some common types of electrical stimulation device include, but are not limited to, transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS), electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) device, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES/FES) device and Microcurrent electrical nerve stimulation (MENS), Interferential stimulation (IF). Cutaneous electrodes are passive devices serving as an interface between a user's skin and an electrical stimulation device.

Dear Mr. Han:
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 forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
