More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a standard electric heating pad with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is intended for the relief of minor muscular or joint pain, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an electric heating pad used for comfort and pain relief, which is a therapeutic function. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as identifying, detecting, or monitoring a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "Electric Heating Pad" with physical dimensions and operates on standard household current, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for applying heat to the body for personal comfort and relief of minor muscular or joint pain. This is a physical therapy or comfort application, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is an electric heating pad. This is a physical device that applies heat externally. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or comfort device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Use wherever hot applications are desirable for personal comfort, and wherever recommended by your physician, dentist or health care professional for the relief of minor muscular or joint pain.

  • Intended Use: Use wherever hot applications are desirable for personal comfort, and wherever recommended by your physician, dentist or health care professional for the relief of minor muscular or joint pain.
  • Substantial Equivalence Claim: The Models EHP2 are substantially equivalent to the following models which are currently in distribution:
1.Conair Moist Heat Pad,K924799
2.Conair Moist Heat Pad with Automatic Shut-off,K924800
3.Sunbeam / Walgreens Heating Padnone

Substantial equivalence is claimed because: the power source, manufacturing technology, operating principles, intended uses and safety standards are the same for all models. Differences are primarily cosmetic.
