No
The summary does not mention any AI or ML terms, image processing, or descriptions of training/test sets, which are common indicators of AI/ML use in medical devices. The intended uses are typical for electrical muscle stimulation devices, which generally do not incorporate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for therapeutic purposes such as muscle spasm relaxation, prevention of disuse atrophy, increasing blood circulation, muscle re-education, prevention of venous thrombosis, and maintaining or increasing range of motion. These are all therapeutic indications.

No
The provided 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' lists therapeutic applications (e.g., muscle relaxation, atrophy prevention, circulation increase, muscle re-education, thrombosis prevention, range of motion maintenance), none of which involve diagnosing a condition.

Unknown

The provided text only includes the intended use and indications for use. It lacks a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended uses listed (muscle spasm relaxation, atrophy prevention, blood circulation increase, muscle re-education, post-surgical stimulation, range of motion maintenance) are all related to directly treating or affecting the human body, not analyzing samples taken from it.
  • The description focuses on therapeutic applications. The indications for use describe therapeutic benefits and actions on muscles and circulation.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The information does not mention any analysis of blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen.

Therefore, this device appears to be a therapeutic device, likely an electrical stimulator, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Hopkins:

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 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 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 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 regulations.

Page 2 - Mr. R. H. Hopkins

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 vour device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device 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) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
