No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

No
The intended use is for Galvanic Skin Resistance Measurement, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic one. The "Prescription Use" designation also aligns with diagnostic devices.

Yes
Explanation: The intended use of the device is "Galvanic Skin Resistance Measurement," which is a physiological measurement often used as a diagnostic indicator in various medical and psychological contexts (e.g., assessing autonomic nervous system activity, emotional responses, or lie detection). Its prescription-use status further supports its medical application, implying it's used to gather information for diagnosis.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Galvanic Skin Resistance Measurement." This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the body, not a test performed on a sample of biological material (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information about a disease or condition based on analysis of biological samples.

IVDs are specifically designed to be used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Galvanic Skin Resistance measurement is an in vivo (in the body) measurement.

Dear Mr. Riva-Cambrin:

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, market the device, 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 Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
