No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description is consistent with a standard ultrasound therapy device.

Yes
The device is described as generating deep heat for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. This clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as generating deep heat for treatment of medical conditions, and there is no mention of it being used to identify or diagnose any conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "SD-956 Ultrasound Therapy," which is a hardware-based modality for generating deep heat. The summary does not mention any software-only components or functions.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device "generates deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions". This describes a therapeutic device that acts directly on the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. They do not act directly on the body for treatment.

The description of the device as "Ultrasound Therapy" further supports its classification as a therapeutic device, not an IVD.

§ 890.5300 Ultrasonic diathermy.

(a)
Ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses except for the treatment of malignancies is a device that applies to the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended for the treatment of medical conditions by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP for a device described in paragraph (b) of this section is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 13, 1999, for any ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 13, 1999, been found to be substantially equivalent to an ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
