Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description is for TENS electrodes, which are typically passive components.

Yes
The device is described as "TENS Electrodes" and its intended use is "TENS Electrodes are to be used". TENS devices are therapeutic in nature, used for pain relief.

No
Explanation: The intended use states "TENS Electrodes are to be used and". TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) devices are typically therapy devices for pain relief, not diagnostic devices.

No

The device description explicitly states "TENS Electrodes," which are hardware components used in TENS therapy. This indicates the device is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is "TENS Electrodes are to be used and". While incomplete, this strongly suggests a therapeutic or pain management application, not a diagnostic one performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: "TENS Electrodes" are components used in Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy, which is a physical therapy modality.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

Therefore, based on the available information, this device is intended for therapeutic use and does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
