More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes electrodes and accessories for recording muscle activity, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as being used for "recording muscle activity for electromyography applications," which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as "intended for use in recording muscle activity for electromyography applications," which is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate muscle and nerve function.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "needle electrodes and accessories," which are 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 "recording muscle activity for electromyography applications." This involves measuring electrical signals from the body, which is an in vivo (within the living body) process, not an in vitro (outside the living body) process.
  • Device Description: The device consists of "needle electrodes and accessories to be used in eletromyographic applications." Electrodes are used to interface with the body to measure electrical signals.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples like blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids, which are characteristic of IVD devices.

Therefore, the SLE EMG Electrodes and Accessories are intended for in vivo diagnostic use (specifically, electromyography), not in vitro diagnostic use.
