The device is a passive electrode designed to deliver electrical stimulation from a separate device. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI or ML.
No.
The device is an accessory (electrode) that delivers stimulation signals from a separate electrical stimulating device (like TENS or PMS units) to the feet. It is not itself a therapeutic device but rather a component used with them.
No
The device is an accessory (electrode) for electrical stimulating devices (TENS or PMS units) and is designed to deliver stimulation signals, not to gather information about a patient's condition for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical, flexible piece of conductive silicone rubber with a receptacle for a wire, indicating it is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver electrical stimulation signals to the feet for therapeutic purposes (used with TENS or PMS devices). This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and function of the electrode for delivering electrical current to the body. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The document does not mention any components, processes, or outputs related to diagnosing a disease or condition. There is no analysis of biological markers, imaging, or any other diagnostic modality.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are related to biological evaluation (irritation and cytotoxicity), which are relevant for devices that come into contact with the body, but not specifically for IVDs.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrode is a foot-shaped, flexible piece of conductive silicone rubber with a receptacle for a wire that connects the device with electrical stimulation devices such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators (TENS) or powered muscle stimulators (PMS).
To stimulate the bottom of the foot the patient simply connects the Foot Pad to a TENS unit, places the Foot Pad onto the floor and then places the foot onto the Foot Pad for stimulation with the TENS device.
The Foot Pad Electrode has a female pin receptacle which accepts the lead wire from the stimulator. The entire Foot Pad Electrode is made up of conductive material to provide uniform current distribution when connected to a stimulator.
The devices can be used dry or wet when in contact with the skin. The entire surface (approx. 35 in') of the Foot Pad Electrode is very conductive, having a resistance of less than 7 ohms per inch. This low resistance provides low current density with uniform current distribution.

4. Description of Proposed Device:
The Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrode is a foot-shaped, flexible piece of conductive silicone rubber with a receptacle for a wire that connects the device with electrical stimulation devices such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators (TENS) or powered muscle stimulators (PMS).
To stimulate the bottom of the foot the patient simply connects the Foot Pad to a TENS unit, places the Foot Pad onto the floor and then places the foot onto the Foot Pad for stimulation with the TENS device.
The Foot Pad Electrode has a female pin receptacle which accepts the lead wire from the stimulator. The entire Foot Pad Electrode is made up of conductive material to provide uniform current distribution when connected to a stimulator.
The devices can be used dry or wet when in contact with the skin. The entire surface (approx. 35 in') of the Foot Pad Electrode is very conductive, having a resistance of less than 7 ohms per inch. This low resistance provides low current density with uniform current distribution.
The following tests were performed:
ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices. Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization (Irritation Study in Rabbits)
ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxitity. ISO

5. Indication for Use:
The Cutaneous Electrodes, "Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrodes", are intended to be used with legally marketed electrical stimulating devices such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators or powered muscle stimulators. The cutaneous electrodes will deliver the stimulation signals generated by the stimulator to the bottom of the feet with which they are in contact. The Foot Pad Electrodes are made up of conductive silicone rubber.
6. Environment of Use:
Clinics, Hospitals and home environments
7. Contraindications:
5
Do not use this device if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or electronic device. Such use could cause electrical shock, bums, electrical interference, or death.
Do not use this device together with a life-supporting medical electronic device such as an artificial heart or lung.
Do not use this device together with a body-worn medical electronic device such as an ECG.
8. Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device
Both, the Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrode and the sewn-in Electrode Patches of the named predicate devices have the same intended use and fundamental technology. All units provide electrically generated pulses from a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator to the skin. Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrode can be viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices' Electrode Patches.
The electrical stimulation provided by Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrodes is substantially equivalent to that of the predicates and is commonly employed by TENS devices that have been cleared for marketing without prescription labeling; i.e. for OTC sale. Technological characteristics, features, specifications, materials and intended uses of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the quoted predicate device. The differences that exist between the devices, mainly in shapes and sizes, are insignificant in terms of safety or effectiveness.
9. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence is as follows:
DRTV Asia, Ltd did not conduct, nor rely upon, clinical tests to determine substantial equivalence of the Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrodes vs. the predicate.
ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices, Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization (Irritation Study in Rabbits)

The skin contact duration is class A = ≤ 24 hrs.
c. Software
There is no software in this product.
d. Cleaning
The cleaning instructions as described the Instruction Manual have been tested to be sufficient. Testing involved validation of the manual cleaning method as per the instructions. All testing concluded that that the Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrodes can be cleaned by the use of the methods described in the Instruction Manual. Sterilization is not required.
8. Conclusions:
The Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrodes have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device. Moreover, bench testing and safety report documentation demonstrate that the submitted device could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of predicate device. In the other words, the differences do not affect the intended use and do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. Thus, the Dr-Ho's Foot Pad Electrodes are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
