Not Found

No
The summary describes a simple electrode for EMG recordings and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as a recording electrode for electromyographic (EMG) recordings, which are diagnostic in nature, not therapeutic. Its "Intended Use" explicitly states "non-invasive use as a recording (active/reference) electrode during electromyographic (EMG) recordings."

Yes
The device is described as a recording electrode for electromyographic (EMG) recordings, which are used to diagnose neuromuscular diseases.

No

The summary describes a "Cutaneous Ground Electrode," which is a physical component used in EMG recordings. This indicates a hardware device, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "non-invasive use as a recording (active/reference) electrode during electromyographic (EMG) recordings." This describes a device used to measure electrical activity from the body, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention anything about analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Luich:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 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 Regulations, 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 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 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 regulations.

Page 2 -- Mr. Ronald Luich, PE

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
