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

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that TENS devices are used for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long term) intractable pain" and as an "adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain problems," which describes therapeutic applications.

No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long term) intractable pain and as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain problems." This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. The "Intended Use" describes a TENS device, which typically involves hardware for electrical stimulation. Without a description of the device's components, it's impossible to definitively say if it's software-only.

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 is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) used for pain relief. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the examination of such specimens.

The description focuses on the application of electrical stimulation to the body for pain management, which is a completely different category of medical device than an IVD.

Dear Mr. Fonq:

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 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. ದ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (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 requlations.
