Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description and intended use do not suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device description explicitly states "Therapeutic Ultrasound Devices" and its intended use is to "produce therapeutic deep heat for the following conditions: Relief of pain, Muscle Spasms, Joint contractures".

No

The device is indicated to produce therapeutic deep heat for conditions like pain relief, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, which are generally therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states "Therapeutic Ultrasound Devices," which are hardware devices that produce ultrasound waves. The summary does not mention any software component that functions as a medical device on its own.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Rich-Mar Ultrasound devices are therapeutic devices that produce deep heat for conditions like pain relief, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. They are applied externally to the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Rich-Mar Ultrasound devices are therapeutic devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Richards:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notifications of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined these devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosures) 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, Devices: 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 In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your devices 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.
