Intended Use
The Pain Therapy Device (Model: P.T.S-III): TENS: - For temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the upper and lower back, back of the neck, upper extremities (shoulder and arm), lower extremities (leg and feet) due to strain from exercise, work or normal household work activities by applying transcutaneous electrical current to stimulate the nerves. - For relief of pain associated with arthritis. - For symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain EMS: - To stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance. - To temporarily increase local blood circulation in healthy muscles. NEMS: - For relaxation of muscle spasm. - Increase of blood flow circulation. - Prevention or retardation of disuse muscle atrophy. - Muscle re-education. - Maintaining or increasing range of motion. - Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis. - For Users with conditions or diseases that are associated with impaired (poor) blood flow in the legs/ankle/feet. NEMS through the foot electrodes is intended to use as an adjunctive treatment (as an additional treatment to your existing treatment) to temporarily reduce lower extremity pain, swelling and cramping.

No
The provided text describes a TENS/EMS/NEMS device for pain relief and muscle stimulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on the electrical stimulation modalities and their intended uses.

Yes.
The device is intended for the relief and management of pain, to improve muscle performance, and prevent conditions like disuse muscle atrophy, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No
The device provides pain relief and muscle stimulation, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones. It does not identify or characterize diseases or conditions.

No

The intended use describes a device that applies transcutaneous electrical current to stimulate nerves and muscles. This inherently requires hardware components to deliver the electrical current, making it a hardware-based device, not software-only.

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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "Pain Therapy Device" that uses TENS, EMS, and NEMS. These are forms of electrical stimulation applied externally to the body to interact with nerves and muscles.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses are all related to pain relief, muscle stimulation, and improving circulation through external electrical application. None of the uses involve analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Pain Therapy Device (Model: P.T.S-III) falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Cassie Lee:

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.
