Device Description
The HBOTC is an OTC electrical nerve and muscle stimulator indicated for symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain as well as muscle conditioning and increasing local blood flow. The HBOTC consists of a portable battery-operated electrical stimulation device with two channels, two sets of lead wires, six packages of self-adhesive electrodes, and a battery charger. Each channel has a pair of buttons for selecting the desired frequency and a dial to control the intensity of the signal. The stimulator is also supplied with an output jack for each channel, a charging jack, timer buttons, and an LCD display.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard electrical stimulation technology and do not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain, post-surgical and post-traumatic pain, and pain associated with sore and aching muscles, which are all therapeutic indications. It also aims to increase local blood circulation and facilitate muscle performance.

No

The device is described as an electrical nerve and muscle stimulator for symptomatic relief and muscle conditioning, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a portable battery-operated electrical stimulation device with hardware components like channels, lead wires, electrodes, buttons, dials, jacks, and an LCD display.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) and Powered Muscle Stimulator. It works by applying electrical stimulation to the body's surface for pain relief and muscle conditioning.
  • No Mention of Samples: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the body.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites listed are external parts of the body where the electrodes are applied.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of external electrical stimulators, not in vitro diagnostics.

The following non-clinical performance tests were conducted:

Software Validation

IEC 60601-1 (2012): Medical Electrical Equipment -Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.

IEC 60601-1-11 (2015): Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-11: General Requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment.

IEC 60601-2-10 (2012)/Amendment 1 2001, Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-10: Particular requirements for the safety of nerve and muscle stimulators.

Conclusions from non-clinical performance data

After performing non-clinical performance studies, the data shows that the HBOTC is substantially equivalent to the predicates as a powered muscle stimulator and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief.
