No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, deep learning, or training/test sets for algorithms. The device description focuses solely on electrical stimulation.

Yes
The intended use explicitly states that the device is used for electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles to reduce urinary incontinence, which constitutes a therapeutic application.

No
The device is used for electrical stimulation to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce urinary incontinence. It does not diagnose any condition; instead, it provides therapy.

No

The intended use explicitly mentions "Electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles with the use of vaginal probe," indicating a hardware component (the vaginal probe) is required for the device's function.

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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The intended use and description clearly state that this device uses electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles with a vaginal probe. This is a direct interaction with the body for therapeutic purposes (strengthening muscles, reducing incontinence).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.

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

§ 876.5320 Nonimplanted electrical continence device.

(a)
Identification. A nonimplanted electrical continence device is a device that consists of a pair of electrodes on a plug or a pessary that are connected by an electrical cable to a battery-powered pulse source. The plug or pessary is inserted into the rectum or into the vagina and used to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor to maintain urinary or fecal continence. When necessary, the plug or pessary may be removed by the user. This device excludes an AC-powered nonimplanted electrical continence device and the powered vaginal muscle stimulator for therapeutic use (§ 884.5940).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Re: K964738 Elpha 2000 Conti Dated: June 28, 1997 Received: July 7, 1997 Regulatory class: II 21 CFR §876.5320/Product code: 78 KPI

Dear Mr. Sandgaard:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice rquirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and . at, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (2) CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
