No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other information suggesting the use of these technologies.

Yes
The device's intended use is "solely for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' states that the device is "to be used solely for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain," which indicates a therapeutic purpose rather than a diagnostic one.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "solely for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain." This describes a therapeutic or pain management device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Focus on Symptomatic Relief: The primary function is to alleviate pain symptoms, which is a direct treatment rather than a diagnostic process.

Therefore, based on the provided text, this device falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
