More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard electrical stimulator with adjustable parameters and protocol selection, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is indicated for symptomatic relief of pain, relaxation of muscle spasms, maintaining and increasing range of motion, and increasing local blood circulation, which are all therapeutic applications.

No

The device is an Interferential Stimulator used for therapeutic purposes such as pain relief, muscle relaxation, and increasing range of motion. Its intended use and functions (producing electrical current for stimulation) do not involve assessing, diagnosing, or monitoring a patient's condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Interferential Stimulator that produces a low electrical current that is transmitted via lead wires to electrodes placed on the skin". This indicates the device includes hardware components (stimulator, lead wires, electrodes) that deliver electrical current, making it a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to therapeutic applications (pain relief, muscle relaxation, increasing range of motion, increasing blood circulation). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device is an electrical stimulator that applies current to the skin. This is a physical therapy or pain management device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Information: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic results, or information used for diagnosis.

The device is clearly described as an Interferential Stimulator used for therapeutic purposes.

Dear Mohamed Ouerghi:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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

Substantial Equivalence

The Avid IF2 is a generation design improvement to the company's previous device, the T.E.A.R. Tech3 IF/Muscle Stimulator. The company's previous models combined many stimulation modes in one device. The Avid IF2 only has the IF mode. Therefore, as far as modes of stimulation is concerned the equivalency will be established by focusing on the IF mode.

Indications for Use

The Avid IF2 has the same indications for use as the predicate devices when these are used in IF mode.

Device Functionality Equivalency

  • Like the predicate devices, the new device uses a microcontroller and LCD ● display to create a user friendly interface.
  • The Avid IF2 Stimulator is self-contained and includes two non-removable, rechargeable lithium ion batteries and an external power supply like the predicates.
  • The Avid IF2 Stimulator also contains a single output jack for both output channels, and a user interface consisting of a touchscreen LCD for improved user experience. The device software contains self-tests for proper function and readiness. The electrodes used for stimulation are the same used with the predicates. The lead wires are of proprietary design.
  • The user is able to select presets on the device for the desired treatment and waveform output based upon prescriptions from the treating clinician. This is accomplished by displayed menu items and selection through the device interface. If desired. the user will be able to upload data stored on the device to Vision Quest Industries, Inc. (via wired interface or wirelessly). The device has the ability to move from preset to preset without patient interaction. This allows for easy use of physician prescribed protocols.

Device Characteristics and Output Specifications Equivalency

The Avid IF2 only has the IF mode. The first predicate device from Vision Quest Industries, Inc. has three modes of stimulation: High Volt Pulsed Current (HVPC), Interferential (IF), and a Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) mode. The second predicate device from Vision Quest Industries, Inc. has four modes of stimulation: High Volt Pulsed Current (HVPC), Interferential (IF), Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) mode, and Pulsed Direct Current (PDC).

The next two tables compare the Avid IF 2 to its predicates.
