No
The provided 510(k) summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, nor does it describe features or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices.

No.
The intended use states it is for "biofeedback applications," which are typically diagnostic or monitoring rather than therapeutic. Also, it refers to legally marketed predicate devices marketed prior to May 28, 1976, which predates many modern therapeutic device classifications and tends to imply a lower risk, often non-therapeutic, category of device.

No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "to be used for biofeedback applications," which is generally not considered a diagnostic purpose. Diagnostic devices are typically used to identify diseases or conditions.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine 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 stated intended use is "for biofeedback applications." Biofeedback devices typically measure physiological signals from the body (like heart rate, muscle tension, brain waves) to help individuals gain conscious control over these functions. This is a direct interaction with the living body, not an analysis of samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The intended use of this device clearly falls outside of this definition.

§ 882.5050 Biofeedback device.

(a)
Identification. A biofeedback device is an instrument that provides a visual or auditory signal corresponding to the status of one or more of a patient's physiological parameters (e.g., brain alpha wave activity, muscle activity, skin temperature, etc.) so that the patient can control voluntarily these physiological parameters.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter when it is a prescription battery powered device that is indicated for relaxation training and muscle reeducation and prescription use, subject to § 882.9.

Dear Mr. De Luca:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595 Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97).
