More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on standard EMS technology and hardware components.

Yes
The device is intended for various medical applications, including the prevention of disuse atrophy, increasing range of motion, muscle re-education, relaxation of muscle spasms, increasing local blood circulation, and preventing venous thrombosis, all of which are therapeutic purposes.

No

The DEKA SIMON device employs Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) for therapeutic purposes such as preventing atrophy, increasing range of motion, and muscle re-education, rather than for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an AC/DC power supply unit, EMS driving electronic board, CPU controller, user interface with LCD touch screen, and EMS applicators with cables.

Based on the provided information, the DEKA SIMON device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to applying electrical stimulation to the body for therapeutic purposes (muscle stimulation, circulation, etc.). These are all in vivo applications, meaning they are performed on a living organism.
  • Device Description: The device description details components related to electrical stimulation and user interface, not components typically found in IVD devices (which analyze biological samples).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements associated with in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The DEKA SIMON's function is to directly interact with the body through electrical stimulation.

Dear Paolo Peruzzi:

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
