No
The device is a physical garment made of conductive material, clearly described as hardware (knitted fabric) intended to deliver electrical stimulation. It is not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Silverwear SilverPro Series Conductive Garments are "cutaneous electrodes to be used with legally marketed TENS or NMES devices." They are designed to deliver electrical stimulation to the body surface.
- Device Description: The description details the materials and construction of wearable garments that conduct electricity to the skin.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on biological samples. It is an external device that interacts with the body's surface to deliver electrical signals.
The device is a cutaneous electrode, which is a type of medical device used for electrical stimulation, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The Silverwear SilverPro garment electrodes are conductive garments that are made from material which is knitted from primarily nylon yarn with minor amounts of lycra, spandex to achieve a stretch fabric for a snug garment fit polyester for tactile qualities and polyester sheathed carbon yarn and pure silver coated nylon fibers to provide conductivity. The knitting follows standard knitting procedures with the conductive knitted material being fabricated into wearable electrode garments which are provided in multiple sizes of various garment configurations including; gloves, bands, socks, and sleeves. The stretch characteristics of the material provide sufficient elasticity to ensure firm surface contact with the skin. The design of the devices is such that they can be used skin by reversing the surface contacting the skin. The entire surface of the garment electrode is very conductive having a resistance of less than 5 ohms per inch. This provides low current density with uniform current distribution to enable efficient use of these garment electrodes for use in TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators) and NMES (powered muscle stimulator devices). The Silverwear SilverPro garment electrodes are non- sterile external devices which are designed for single patient, for multiple uses and are intended for OTC use with FDA Cleared TENS and NMES class II devices.

E. Substantial Equivalence Summary
The Silverwear SilverPro device garment cutaneous electrodes are medical devices that have the same design features, construction, intended use, conductivity, electrical connection and target population as the legally marketed predicate devices. The Silverwear SilverPro devices have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Both the Silverwear SilverPro and the predicate devices receive electrostimulation signals from legally marketed TENS or NMES devices through a standard electrical connection of an adhesive electrode which adhesively connects to the Silverwear SilverPro device and is wired to the TENS or NMES device. Both the Silverwear SilverPro and the predicate devices are washable and intended for multiple uses by a single patient with intact skin.
-
F. Technological Characteristics
The Silverwear SilverPro garment electrodes are made from silver plated nylon yarn and a polyester sheath yarn with carbon filling, using a conventional knitting process. The fabric is highly conductive and provides less than 5 ohms resistance per inch. The actual devices which are fabricated into multiple different garment forms with each form being designed to accept an adhesively applied electrode component from the NMES or TENS device which is the source of the current that is delivered by the garment electrodes to the target skin tissue. The Silverwear SilverPro devices are non- sterile multiple use devices which are washable using conventional detergents. Bench tests of the fabric show that the garment electrodes do not change their inherent conductivity with multiple washings so that there is no significant adverse effect on the conductivity of the device or its inherent ability to deliver low dose current density uniformly to the skin of the wearer even after multiple washings. The Silverwear SilverPro garment electrode provide a snug elastic fit against the skin based upon the low mild elastic properties of the yarn used to fabricate the devices, these elastic proper a snug fit for delivery of the current generated by the TENS or NMES devices. -
G. Software
There is no software used in the Silverwear SilverPro devices
H. Testing
Bench testing has been conducted on the fabric used to fabricate the various forms of the Silverwear SilverPro devices to demonstrate that the fabric and the devices meet design controls in terms of conductivity and resistivity, and uniform delivery of low doses of current all
7
consistent with that of the predicate devices. Resistivity testing was conducted using standard industry testing to confirm that the resistivity met the standards of less than 7 ohms per inch through multiple washings to confirm the multiple use aspects of the device.
Biocompatibility tests were conducted on the SilverWear SilverPro devices, which are intended for external use only, on intact skin of limited body areas for less than 24 hour. Biocompatibility was conducted using tests methods to determine Cytotoxicity, Sensitization and Irritation of Cutaneous Reactivity.
l. The subject device:
- a. is OTC only
- b. Intended for limited external exposure only not for internal use
- ls for application to intact skin and not for application on mucosal areas ﻥ
- d. Is for application to limited areas of skin and for limited duration of use under 24 hours and as prescribed in the TENS and NMES devices for which use of these wearable electrodes are intended. These devices are not intended for use in mucosal areas
J. Conclusions
The subject Silverwear SilverPro devices are comparable in design specifications to the predicate garment devices and like the predicate garment devices come in multiple versions all of which have the same intended use, are intended to be used on the same patient population, with the same technical electrical performance to deliver low doses of current to provide electrical stimulation to the skin, which like the predicate devices are intended to be used with the same FDA cleared OTC TENS or NMES predicate devices as the predicate devices. Testing has demonstrated that this SilverPro device is in terms of conductivity and resistivity relies on the same principles of Technology as the comparable predicate devices and in terms of design, material of fabrication, method of application, and intended use and performance is comparable to its predicate devices in delivering the uniform delivery of low dose current generated by FDA cleared OTC TENS or NMES devices. The proposed device presents no new technological, safety or effectiveness differences from those of the predicate class II garment electrode devices. Thus, the Silverwear SilverPro garment electrodes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
