No
The device is described as a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator indicated for the acute treatment of migraine. It delivers electrical pulses to stimulate nerves for therapeutic purposes, rather than to diagnose a condition. While it has an optional "Patient Management Interface" that allows patients to report migraine status and physicians to remotely follow up, this is for monitoring treatment effectiveness, not for diagnosing the migraine itself.
No
The device description clearly details a physical headset with electrodes, a stimulation unit, a battery, and an onboard user interface. While it includes optional software components (mobile app and physician interface), the core medical device is a hardware neurostimulator.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Relivion® device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. It applies electrical pulses to the scalp to treat migraine. It does not analyze any biological samples from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "acute treatment of migraine," which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
The device is a therapeutic medical device, specifically a neurostimulator.

Device Description
The modified Relivion® is an external non-invasive neurostimulator designed for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The modified Relivion® headset integrates three pairs of output electrodes which come in contact with the subject's scalp at the forehead and occiput. The electrodes deliver the stimulation pulses produced by the headset's stimulation unit to the subject's scalp. The frontal electrodes stimulate the trigeminal (supraorbital and supratrochlear) nerve branches and the posterior electrodes stimulate the greater occipital nerve branches.
The modified Relivion® includes single-use replaceable electrode pads that are positioned on-top of the electrodes prior to treatment and are wetted by the user before use, in order to provide proper conductivity between the electrodes and the scalp.
The modified Relivion® is powered by a rechargeable battery and the headset incorporates an onboard user interface that enables the user to activate/deactivate the device and to adjust the stimulation intensity. Upon treatment activation, the treatment automatically runs and ends after 60 minutes or alternatively, the user can stop the treatment when desired.
The modified Relivion® can communicate via a low energy Bluetooth link with the modified Relivion®'s dedicated mobile application on the patient's smartphone. The modified Relivion®'s mobile application is optional, and it is used by the patient to display the device status and provide indications and alerts. Additionally, the modified Relivion® mobile application also enables the patient to report their migraine headache status.
The main modification introduced in the Relivion® Device compared to the cleared predicate device (K203419) is an added optional Physician Interface that enables physicians to remotely follow-up on the patient's migraine attacks status and the treatments they performed using the Relivion device, based on the data transferred to it via the modified mobile application.
Both the modified Relivion®'s mobile application (for patients) and added physician interface (for physicians) are referred together as the optional "Patient Management Interface" (PMI) of the modified Relivion® Device.

Device Description:
The modified Relivion® is an external non-invasive neurostimulator designed for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The modified Relivion® headset integrates three pairs of output electrodes which come in contact with the subject's scalp at the forehead and occiput. The electrodes deliver the stimulation pulses produced by the headset's stimulation unit to the subject's scalp. The frontal electrodes stimulate the trigeminal (supraorbital and supratrochlear) nerve branches and the posterior electrodes stimulate the greater occipital nerve branches.
The modified Relivion® includes single-use replaceable electrode pads that are positioned on-top of the electrodes prior to treatment and are wetted by the user before use, in order to provide proper conductivity between the electrodes and the scalp.
The modified Relivion® is powered by a rechargeable battery and the headset incorporates an onboard user interface that enables the user to activate/deactivate the device and to adjust the stimulation intensity. Upon treatment activation, the treatment automatically runs and ends after 60 minutes or alternatively, the user can stop the treatment when desired.
The modified Relivion® can communicate via a low energy Bluetooth link with the modified Relivion®'s dedicated mobile application on the patient's smartphone. The modified Relivion®'s mobile application is optional, and it is used by the patient to display the device status and provide indications and alerts. Additionally, the modified Relivion® mobile application also enables the patient to report their migraine headache status.
The main modification introduced in the Relivion® Device compared to the cleared predicate device (K203419) is an added optional Physician Interface that enables physicians to remotely follow-up on the patient's migraine attacks status and the treatments they performed using the Relivion device, based on the data transferred to it via the modified mobile application.
Both the modified Relivion®'s mobile application (for patients) and added physician interface (for physicians) are referred together as the optional "Patient Management Interface" (PMI) of the modified Relivion® Device.
Technological Characteristics:
The modified Relivion® treats migraines by stimulating the trigeminal and occipital nerve branches by a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Trigeminal and occipital electrical nerve stimulation induces neuromodulation of these nerve pathways and by that reduces pain associated with migraine and associated symptoms.
The modified Relivion® includes single-use, replaceable electrode pads that are positioned on-top of the headset electrodes and are wetted by the user before each use. Water releasing covers are located on the outer side of each back occipital electrode and are used to release moisture from the
5
electrode pads to the scalp in order to provide proper electrical conductivity between the electrodes and the scalp.
The modified Relivion® headset adjusts to various head sizes and contours and can be worn comfortably. The headset includes two flexible arms that penetrate under the hair layers while the headset is worn.
The modified Relivion® headset incorporates an on-board user interface and can communicate via a low energy Bluetooth link with the modified Relivion®'s dedicated mobile application on the patient's smartphone. The user interface and mobile app display the device status and provides indications and alerts, in addition to an optional Physician Interface that enables physicians to remotely follow-up on the patient's migraine attacks status and treatments performed with the Relivion device.
Performance Data:
Neurolief conducted several performance tests to demonstrate that the modified Relivion® device complies with performance standards and that it functions as intended.
Performance - Bench Testing: The modified Relivion® device underwent performance testing for the modifications introduced, including software validation and device verification tests. It was successfully verified that the modified Relivion® output parameters meet the product's specifications.
Software Testing: The PMI software was also subject to verification and validation testing, and results demonstrated that the modified Mobile Application and added Physician Interface perform as intended. Cybersecurity risks were also identified and addressed.
Because the modification to the device impacted only the software, no further testing was required.
Substantial Equivalence:
The following table compares the modified Relivion® device to its predicate device with respect to intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation, providing detailed information regarding the basis for the determination of substantial equivalence.

As described in the comparison table above, the subject modified Relivion® and the predicate Relivion® device (K203419) share the same intended use and indications, technological characteristics, and same principles of operation. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not alter the overall therapeutic effect of the device. Any differences between the modified Relivion® and its predicate (K203419) were carefully evaluated through performance testing. The modified Relivion® device underwent performance testing, including bench testing and software validation testing. These performance tests confirmed that the modified Relivion® complies with the same special controls and the same consensus and performance standards, on which FDA based its clearance of the company's Relivion® device (K203419). These tests demonstrated that the differences in the technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not adversely impact performance and that the subject modified Relivion® is substantially equivalent to its predicate device (K203419).
Conclusions:
Therefore, based on the same intended use, indications, technological characteristics, and same principles of operation, the modified Relivion® device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
