Intended Use
Conductive silicone rubber electrode are cutaneous electrodes to be used with legally marketed TENS, EMS or NMES devices. The Conductive silicone rubber electrodes are non-sterile reusable conductive garments that are intended to deliver the pulses generated by the electrotherapy stimulator to the body surface with which they are in contact. These body parts can include the upper limb including wrist and hand, elbow or shoulder, lower limb including hip, knee, leg, ankle and feet, and the back of the neck.

No
The summary describes a passive conductive electrode and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device described is an electrode that delivers pulses from a separate electrotherapy stimulator, not the stimulator itself which would be the therapeutic device.

No
The device description states its use is to "deliver the pulses generated by the electrotherapy stimulator to the body surface," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It is used with TENS, EMS, or NMES devices, which are generally for pain relief or muscle stimulation.

No

The device description explicitly states "Conductive Silicone Rubber Electrode," indicating a physical hardware component. The intended use also describes "conductive garments," further confirming it is 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 tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Conductive Silicone Rubber Electrodes are "cutaneous electrodes" used with TENS, EMS, or NMES devices to deliver electrical pulses to the body surface. This is an external application and does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes delivering electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an electrotherapy accessory, 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.

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
