Not Found

No
The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses solely on the intended use for treating low back pain.

Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of acute and chronic low back pain," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as intended for "treatment" of low back pain, not for identifying or diagnosing a condition.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only or includes hardware components. The intended use suggests a physical treatment ("treatment of acute and chronic low back pain of disc origin or due to malalignments of the apophyseal joints"), which often involves hardware, but without a description, this cannot be confirmed.

Based on the provided information, the device described, the "BACK - ON - TRAC," is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of low back pain. IVDs are used for the diagnosis of diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the BACK - ON - TRAC is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
