Intended Use
The SimulCare II™ is intended for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue, temporarily increasing local blood circulation, symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain, and adjunctive relief of post-surgical or post-traumatic pain.
Device Description
The SimulCare II Multi-function Therapeutic Device is modified from the SimulCare and ComboCare 2000 devices previously cleared under 510(k)s K083202 & K081141 and includes improved interface features, EMI filters, additional audible alarm and battery monitoring circuit drain prevention. Portable, lightweight, rechargeable unit consisting of a hand-held controller with digital control of stimulation parameters and an attached flexible pad that produces battery-charged therapy consisting of red light emitting diodes, infrared light emitting diodes, micro current, macro current (E-stim), permanent magnets and vibratory massage.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on physical modalities (light, current, magnets, vibration) and improved interface features, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "Multi-function Therapeutic Device" and its intended uses are for the "temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain," "promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue," "increasing local blood circulation," and "symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain," all of which are therapeutic applications.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that the SimulCare II is a therapeutic device for pain relief and muscle relaxation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Portable, lightweight, rechargeable unit consisting of a hand-held controller... and an attached flexible pad that produces battery-charged therapy consisting of red light emitting diodes, infrared light emitting diodes, micro current, macro current (E-stim), permanent magnets and vibratory massage." This clearly indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device's application for temporary relief of pain, muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation, and pain management. These are all therapeutic applications applied directly to the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a portable unit with a hand-held controller and a flexible pad that delivers various physical therapies (light, current, magnets, massage). This is a physical therapy device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on samples, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The SimulCare II™ does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Hart:

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
