Intended Use
The Bionicare Stimulator System Model BIO-1000" is indicated for use as an adjunctive therapy in reducing the level of pain, and stiffiess associated with pain, from rheumatoid arthritis of the hand.
Device Description
The Bionicare Stimulator System, Model BIO-1000" is a rechargeable battery operated TENS stimulator that utilizes a voltage regulated output circuit to generate a spike-shaped pulse with an adjustable amplitude of 0-12 volts peak and repeating at a single fixed frequency of 100 ± 5 Hertz. Electrodes are applied to the hand and arm using a standard clectrode gel, Spectra 360 (Parker Laboratories NDC 341-0012-08). The signal is applied across the cathodic hand electrode and the anodic arm electrode.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard TENS stimulator with fixed parameters and no mention of adaptive or learning capabilities. The performance studies focus on electrical characteristics and conformance to standards, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in reducing pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is indicated for use as an "adjunctive therapy in reducing the level of pain, and stiffness associated with pain," which describes a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "rechargeable battery operated TENS stimulator" and describes hardware components like electrodes and a voltage regulated output circuit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) stimulator. TENS devices deliver electrical impulses to the body for pain relief. This is a physical therapy modality, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device directly interacts with the body for therapeutic purposes.
