Device Description
The TENS stimulator and TENS and EMS stimulator, are Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator for pain relief and/or Electrical Muscle Stimulator. The stimulators send gentle electrical current to underlying nerves and muscle group via electrodes applied on the skin. The parameters of devices are controlled by the press buttons. Its intensity level is adjustable according to the needs of patients. The four models have similar housing in a molded plastic case with viewable LCD display, an accessible keypad, and accessible battery storage compartment. The LCD is used to display system information to the user. The device is equipped with a keypad composed of push buttons which are located below the LCD that control the program selection, strength, channel, and power. The TENS and EMS Stimulator (Model No .: AK3-20, AK3-25 and AK3-50) is the comination unit with the TENS and EMS functions; the function can be selected by press buttons. The range of settings is identical in models AK3-20 and AK3-25 while model AK3-50 provides 10 types of output modes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard TENS/EMS device with pre-set modes and adjustable parameters controlled by physical buttons. There is no mention of adaptive algorithms, learning capabilities, or any technology that would typically be associated with AI/ML.

Yes.
The device description clearly states its intended use for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic pain, and post-surgical pain (TENS mode), and for muscle relaxation, blood flow circulation, prevention of disuse atrophy, muscle re-education, and increasing range of motion (EMS mode). These are all therapeutic applications.

No

Explanation: The document describes the device as a TENS and EMS stimulator used for pain relief, muscle relaxation, blood flow circulation, and muscle re-education. It does not mention any function related to diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components such as a molded plastic case, LCD display, keypad, and battery storage compartment, which are integral to the device's function. While software validation is mentioned, it is part of the overall device testing, not indicative of a software-only device.

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 device is for "Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain," "Post traumatic pain," "Post-surgical pain," and various muscle-related conditions. These are all therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works by sending electrical current to nerves and muscles via electrodes applied to the skin. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
