No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description focuses on tap water iontophoresis, a non-AI technology.

Yes
The device is intended to treat a medical condition (hyperhidrosis) by directly interacting with the body, which defines it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is intended to treat hyperhidrosis, not diagnose it.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "tap water iontophoresis device," which is a hardware-based treatment method.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) affecting hands, feet, and underarms. This is a therapeutic treatment applied directly to the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform any such tests.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Electro Antiperspirant devices described are therapeutic devices, not IVDs.

§ 890.5525 Iontophoresis device.

(a)
Iontophoresis device intended for certain specified uses —(1)Identification. An iontophoresis device is a device that is intended to use a direct current to introduce ions of soluble salts or other drugs into the body and induce sweating for use in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis or for other uses if the labeling of the drug intended for use with the device bears adequate directions for the device's use with that drug. When used in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, the sweat is collected and its composition and weight are determined.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Iontophoresis device intended for any other purposes —(1)Identification. An iontophoresis device intended for any other purposes is a prescription device that is intended to use a current to introduce ions of drugs or non-drug solutions into the body for medical purposes other than those specified in paragraph (a) of this section, meaning that the device is not intended for use in diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, or a specific drug is not specified in the labeling of the iontophoresis device.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II. The special controls for this device are:(i) The following performance testing must be conducted:
(A) Testing using a drug approved for iontophoretic delivery, or a solution if identified in the labeling, to demonstrate safe use of the device as intended;
(B) Testing of the ability of the device to maintain a safe pH level; and
(C) If used in the ear, testing of the device to demonstrate mechanical safety.
(ii) Labeling must include adequate instructions for use, including sufficient information for the health care provider to determine the device characteristics that affect delivery of the drug or solution and to select appropriate drug or solution dosing information for administration by iontophoresis. This includes the following:
(A) A description and/or graphical representation of the electrical output;
(B) A description of the electrode materials and pH buffer;
(C) When intended for general drug delivery, language referring the user to drug labeling approved for iontophoretic delivery to determine if the drug they intend to deliver is specifically approved for use with that type of device and to obtain relevant dosing information; and
(D) A detailed summary of the device-related and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device, and appropriate warnings and contraindications, including the following warning:

Warning: Potential systemic adverse effects may result from use of this device. Drugs or solutions delivered with this device have the potential to reach the blood stream and cause systemic effects. Carefully read all labeling of the drug or solution used with this device to understand all potential adverse effects and to ensure appropriate dosing information. If systemic manifestations occur, refer to the drug or solution labeling for appropriate action.(iii) Appropriate analysis/testing must demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, thermal safety, and mechanical safety.
(iv) Appropriate software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
(v) The elements of the device that may contact the patient must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(vi) The elements of the device that may contact the patient must be assessed for sterility, for devices labeled as sterile.
(vii) Performance data must support the shelf life of the elements of the device that may be affected by aging by demonstrating continued package integrity and device functionality over the stated shelf life.

Dear Kevin Walls:

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.

1

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 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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
