No
The summary describes a simple lead wire for electrotherapy and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No.
The "Intended Use" states it is a lead wire for electrotherapy devices, which are therapeutic, but the lead wire itself is a component, not a therapeutic device on its own.

No
The device is described as a "lead wire for electrotherapy devices." Electrotherapy devices deliver electrical signals for treatment, while diagnostic devices are used to identify or analyze a condition. A lead wire, in this context, is an accessory that conducts the electrical signal, not a device that performs diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a "lead wire for electrotherapy devices," which is a physical component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "as a lead wire for electrotherapy devices." This describes a device used to conduct electrical signals to or from the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the key characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a disease or condition
    • Being used in a laboratory setting

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. A lead wire for electrotherapy does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Buchan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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 device, 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device 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 requirements, 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 requlation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device 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.

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

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling requlation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
