Intended Use
The Anal Stimulation/EMG Probe - w/Stop, is intended to provide electromyographic feedback from pelvic musculature or electrical stimulation to pelvic musculature for the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control during the treatment of urinary incontinence.
Device Description
Hollister Incorporated through it's InCare Division currently markets an Anal 2-electrode Stimulation/EMG Probe (K891773 and K930530) as an accessories to it's Pelvic Floor Therapy System product line. The proposed probe uses the same identical raw material components and manufacturing process as the currently marketed predicate devices.
More Information

No
The summary describes a probe accessory for a pelvic floor therapy system, focusing on its materials and manufacturing process being identical to predicate devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts.

Yes
The device is described as providing electromyographic feedback and electrical stimulation for the rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control in the treatment of urinary incontinence, which are therapeutic purposes.

Yes

The device "is intended to provide electromyographic feedback from pelvic musculature", which is a form of diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "probe" and uses "raw material components and manufacturing process," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not 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 the device is for providing electromyographic feedback and electrical stimulation to pelvic musculature for the purpose of rehabilitation and treatment of urinary incontinence. This involves interacting directly with the patient's body for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes related to muscle function.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality. This device does not analyze such specimens.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a probe used for stimulation and EMG, which are procedures performed directly on the patient.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic and diagnostic medical device used in vivo (on the living body), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 876.5320 Nonimplanted electrical continence device.

(a)
Identification. A nonimplanted electrical continence device is a device that consists of a pair of electrodes on a plug or a pessary that are connected by an electrical cable to a battery-powered pulse source. The plug or pessary is inserted into the rectum or into the vagina and used to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor to maintain urinary or fecal continence. When necessary, the plug or pessary may be removed by the user. This device excludes an AC-powered nonimplanted electrical continence device and the powered vaginal muscle stimulator for therapeutic use (§ 884.5940).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
