The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and electrical properties of passive electrodes, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device itself (electrodes) is a passive accessory that interfaces with a therapeutic device (Philips PulseRelief device) for TENS/EMS. The electrodes do not provide therapy on their own.
No
The device, Philips Self-Adhesive Electrodes, is an accessory used with a neurostimulation device (Philips PulseRelief) for applying TENS and EMS. It is described as a "passive device serving as an interface" and its purpose is to deliver electrical current, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of physical components (metal target, rivet, textile adhesive layer, carbon layer, hydrogel layer, backing sheet) and is a passive device serving as an interface, indicating it is a hardware component, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrodes are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for applying Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to the body. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details the components and function of the electrodes as an interface for electrical stimulation on the skin. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a key characteristic of IVD devices.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical, electrical, and biocompatibility properties of the electrodes in contact with the skin, not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrodes do not perform this function.

Summary of Performance Studies
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
7.1 Biocompatibility testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrodes device was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. As dictated by the application and duration of contact with the intact skin, the battery of testing included the following tests:
• Cytotoxicity
• Sensitization
• Irritation
7.2 Other Performance Tests
The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode is the same as the predicate device, the ValuTrode® Neurostimulation Electrodes from Axelgaard and it is manufactured by Axelgaard. Therefore the tests performed in the Neurostimulation Electrodes applies to the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode.
- Electrical & Impedance Tests: The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested to assure the current is equally distributed. The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was also tested for Impedance to assure proper electrical connection to the skin.
- Adhesion tests: The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested for initial adhesion force and adhesion force after using multiple times.
- Connector & Mechanical tests: The TENS PulseRelief has a magnetic surface with the purpose to clamp the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode. This connection was tested to assure multiple use and also to assure the TENS PulseRelief stay fixed to the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode during use.
- Packaging tests: The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested for storage conditions.
- Accelerated Aging: The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested for accelerate aging in worst storage condition to assure within the expiration date the electrode function as expected.

7. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
7.1 Biocompatibility testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrodes device was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. As dictated by the application and duration of contact with the intact skin, the battery of testing included the following tests:
• Cytotoxicity
8
- · Sensitization
- · Irritation
7.2 Other Performance Tests
The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode is the same as the predicate device, the ValuTrode® Neurostimulation Electrodes from Axelgaard and it is manufactured by Axelgaard. Therefore the tests performed in the Neurostimulation Electrodes applies to the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode.
1. Electrical & Impedance Tests
The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested to assure the current is equally distributed. The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was also tested for Impedance to assure proper electrical connection to the skin.
2. Adhesion tests
The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested for initial adhesion force and adhesion force after using multiple times.
3. Connector & Mechanical tests
The TENS PulseRelief has a magnetic surface with the purpose to clamp the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode. This connection was tested to assure multiple use and also to assure the TENS PulseRelief stay fixed to the Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode during use.
4. Packaging tests
The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested for storage conditions:
- The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode should not be stored at temperatures lower than 41°F (+5°C) or higher than 80.6°F (+27°C).
5. Accelerated Aging
The Philips Self-Adhesive Electrode was tested for accelerate aging in worst storage condition to assure within the expiration date the electrode function as expected.
8. CONCLUSION
:
The performance testing presented above establishes that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. The comparison tabulated above demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
