The Li-Battery powered OTC TENS/EMS Combination Stimulator, model Z4, is a four-channel electrical stimulation device intended for pain relief and muscle training. It delivers electrical current through electrodes placed on the user's skin. Each operating mode delivers a fixed, pre-configured waveform (e.g., asymmetrical bi-phasic square pulse) and output characteristics; users may only adjust intensity and treatment duration within predefined limits.
The device primarily consists of two components: the stimulation generator and adhesive electrodes. The generator produces the stimulation current, which is delivered to the body via lead wires connected to the electrodes. Depending on the selected mode—TENS or EMS—the device helps achieve either temporary pain relief or improved muscle performance.
The Z4 includes the following preset programs:
-
TENS Mode (Programs P1–P19): Intended for temporary relief of pain in the lower back, arms, and legs due to exercise or household/work strain. Users are advised to begin with the lowest intensity and gradually increase to a comfortable "tingling" sensation. Each program differs in waveform parameters and may produce varied sensations.
-
EMS Mode (Programs P20–P30): Designed to stimulate healthy muscles to enhance or support muscle performance. These programs cause the muscles to contract and relax. Users should start at low intensity for warm-up and increase gradually as needed.
The Z4 device package includes the following accessories:
- Adhesive Electrode Pads × 24
- Lead Wires × 4

| Indications
TENS: The device is designed to be used for temporary relief of pain associated with the sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm), lower extremities (leg), abdomen and bottom due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.
EMS: The device is designed to be used to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance.
The Globus Triathlon Pro TENS and EMS stimulator is an over-the-counter transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator and electronic muscle stimulator (TENS/EMS) device providing peripheral nervous system stimulation and muscular electrostimulation in order to reduce atrophy, spasticity, and to increase muscular power. It can be used for arm, shoulder, neck, back, waist, abdomen, and legs.
The stimulation channels transfer the desired choice of programmed electrical pulses directly through electrode adhesive pads to the suggested area of the body where the electrodes are placed, causing muscle contractions. The accessory electrodes are FDA-cleared. They are used as an accessory to the TENS or EMS device unit, which transmits electrical current to the patient skin. The electrical current is first transmitted via the lead wire or snap button then transmitted to the conductive gel which is adhered to patient skin.
The Triathlon Pro provides electro stimulation through the surface electrodes. Electrode position during electro stimulation depends on the body part involved and on the type of program that is being carried out. For all programs that cause significant muscle contraction, it is important to place the electrode on the muscle motor point, which is the most sensitive to stimulation. The electro stimulator keeps track of the last 10 executed programs so that they are available for very simple and fast execution. Recording takes place automatically at the end of the execution of a program.
Electrostimulations are designed to be used in domestic environments, clinics, physiotherapy centers, rehabilitation in general, pain treatments in general, for aesthetic and sport purposes. The user of this device must be adult.

truFlex is indicated to be used for:
- Improvement of abdominal tone, for strengthening of the abdominal muscles, for development of firmer abdomen.
- Strengthening, toning and firming of arms, buttocks, thighs, and calves
- Relaxation of muscle spasms
- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
- Increasing local blood circulation
- Muscle re-education
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion
- Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
- Stimulation of neuromuscular tissue for bulk muscle excitation in the legs or arms for rehabilitative purposes
- To be used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy for the treatment of medical diseases and conditions
truFlex is an electrical muscle stimulator, which generates electrical impulses that are delivered through electrodes on the skin in direct proximity to the muscles to be stimulated. The device contracts muscles rhythmically to achieve the intended use.
truFlex consists of a console with a touchscreen control panel and eight handpiece pairs. All system functions are controlled through the console. During a treatment session, one or more handpiece pairs are secured to the patient using disposable hydrogel pads and transparent silicone belts, and electrical stimulation is delivered to the treatment area at the selected treatment mode and intensity.
The fundamental scientific technology has not changed in the modified device. Changes are solely considered for addition of indication for use. The modified device generates the same stimulation to contract the muscles rhythmically to achieve the intended use.
The clinician can increase or decrease the intensity as per the desired stimulation. While modified device, complete care and considerable measures have been taken to retain its safety and effectiveness. The truFlex device complies with voluntary standards.
The modified device, as described in this submission, have only addition of the indication for use and name the device
The device has two treatment types:
- Classic - In Classic mode, the treatment duration is 45 minutes.
- flex+ - In flex+ mode, the treatment duration is 15 minutes.
For ease of use and operation for the clinicians, we have 3 modes (suggestive):
- PREP mode creates a twisting motion to warm up and stretch the muscles and to slowly build a tolerance to muscle contractions. PREP mode is available for Classic treatments only.
- TONE mode contracts the muscles, holds it, and then relaxes to increase strength and muscle endurance. TONE mode is available for Classic and flex+ treatments.
- SCULPT mode uses fast, sequential contractions of the muscles which lead to toning and firming. SCULPT mode is available for Classic and flex+ treatments
Based on the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the truFlex Muscle Stimulator, it's important to clarify that this document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving specific clinical efficacy or performance through a traditional clinical study with defined acceptance criteria for de novo AI/ML devices.
The truFlex device is a Powered Muscle Stimulator, classified as Class II, and uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Its clearance is based on the premise that its safety and effectiveness are "demonstrated by performance data and a comparison of technical characteristics between the modified device and the predicate device," as stated on Page 4 and Page 9. This means the acceptance criteria are largely met by showing the device performs similarly to or within the established safety and performance parameters of already cleared, similar devices (predicates).
Therefore, the requested information points (1-9) about acceptance criteria, test sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, etc., typically apply to the rigorous clinical validation studies for novel medical devices, especially AI-driven ones where performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC are critical. For a 510(k) based on substantial equivalence to predicate muscle stimulators, the "study" is often a combination of non-clinical bench testing, electrical safety testing, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, and comparison of technical specifications to demonstrate that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate.
Given this context, I will address your points as best as possible based on the provided document, acknowledging where the information is not directly applicable or explicitly stated as it would be for a typical AI/ML clinical validation study.
Acceptance Criteria and Study for truFlex Muscle Stimulator
The acceptance criteria for the truFlex Muscle Stimulator, as described in this 510(k) submission, are primarily centered around demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate devices. This is achieved by showing that the truFlex device has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and meets recognized safety and performance standards as its predicates, without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is a substantial equivalence submission for a traditional medical device (not an AI/ML diagnostic/therapeutic device), the "acceptance criteria" are generally that the device performs within the established safety and effectiveness profiles of the predicates. The "reported device performance" is demonstrated through compliance with voluntary standards and direct comparison of specifications.
| Acceptance Criterion (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from Submission) | Reference Pages |
|---|---|---|
| Safety: Compliance with recognized electrical safety standards (e.g., patient leakage, isolation). | Measured Patient Leakage: - Normal Condition: Less than 100µA (Predicate 1,2: <100µA) - Single Fault Condition: Less than 300µA (Predicate 1: <300µA, Predicate 2: <100µA) Method of Line Current Isolation: AC Power supply converted to DC Power supply through a medical-grade PSU, with 2XMOPP isolation (IEC60601-1). Confirmed identical to Predicate 1,2. | Page 13 |
| Safety: Compliance with recognized electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. | Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC): Stated as complying with this standard. | Pages 16-17, 21 |
| Safety: Compliance with general requirements for basic safety and essential performance. | Compliance with IEC 60601-1: Stated as complying with this standard. | Pages 16-17, 21 |
| Performance: Functional equivalence to predicate devices (waveform, output, modes, controls). | Waveform: Symmetrical Biphasic (identical to Predicate 1, similar to Predicate 2, different from Predicate 3). Shape: Step Sine Wave (identical to Predicate 1, different from Predicate 2, 3). Maximum Output Voltage/Current: Values provided and compared, showing similarity or within acceptable limits per FDA guidance. Pulse Width, Frequency, Beat Frequency: Values provided and compared, showing similarity. Number of Output Modes: 3 (Prep, Tone, Sculpt), identical to Predicate 1. | Pages 19-20 |
| Performance: Ability to deliver intended therapeutic effects consistent with predicates. | Principle of Operations: EMS Mode: electrical pulses mimic natural nerve signals, causing muscle contractions for strengthening, toning, and circulation. Rehabilitation Mode: low-frequency EMS for muscle re-education, disuse atrophy prevention, spasm relief. This is identical to Predicate 1 and 2, but differs from Predicate 3 (HIFEM + RF). | Pages 18-19 |
| Biocompatibility: Materials in contact with patient are biocompatible. | Compliance with ISO 10993-1, -5, -10: Stated as complying with these standards (Cytotoxicity, Skin sensitization, general evaluation). | Pages 17, 21 |
| Software Safety: Compliance with software life cycle processes. | Compliance with IEC 62304: Stated as complying with this standard. | Pages 16-17, 21 |
| Risk Management: Application of a risk management system. | Compliance with ISO 14971: Stated as complying with this standard. | Pages 16, 21 |
| Usability: Compliance with usability standards. | Compliance with IEC 60601-1-6: Stated as complying with this standard. | Pages 16-17, 21 |
| Expanded Indications: New indications consistent with predicate devices. | The submission emphasizes that the only modification is an expanded indication for use, which is already covered by the FDA-cleared predicate devices. | Page 21 |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of a 510(k) clearance for this type of device, which relies on a comparison to predicate devices and adherence to performance standards rather than a clinical study with patient samples. The "test set" would be the device itself undergoing various engineering and safety tests.
- Data Provenance: The document details non-clinical testing for compliance with international standards (e.g., IEC, ISO). This is primarily bench testing, not patient-derived data. The manufacturer is Syrma Johari Medtech Limited, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. This suggests the testing and engineering data would originate from their facilities or contracted labs.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Number of Experts/Qualifications: Not applicable. For demonstrating substantial equivalence for a powered muscle stimulator, the "ground truth" is defined by the technical specifications, safety standards, and established performance of the predicate devices. It does not involve expert consensus on clinical findings in a test set, as would be the case for an AI-driven image analysis or diagnostic device.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. There is no clinical test set requiring adjudication of medical findings.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- MRMC Study: Not applicable. The truFlex is a physical medical device (muscle stimulator), not an AI-assisted diagnostic or image analysis tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable. This device is an electrical muscle stimulator; it does not operate as a standalone algorithm in the way an AI diagnostic tool would. Its "performance" is its ability to generate specified electrical impulses safely and effectively.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" in this 510(k) submission is primarily established by:
- International Consensus Standards: Compliance with recognized IEC and ISO standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1 series for safety, IEC 62304 for software, ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility).
- Technical Specifications of Predicate Devices: The specific electrical output parameters (voltage, current, waveform, frequency, pulse width), operational modes, and physical characteristics of the legally marketed predicate devices. The new device must demonstrate it meets or is equivalent to these parameters.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. The truFlex is a hardware device cleared through substantial equivalence to predicate hardware devices. It does not involve AI/ML models that require a "training set" in the computational sense. The "training" for such devices involves product development, engineering, and manufacturing processes aimed at meeting specifications.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the AI/ML sense. The "ground truth" for the development and testing of this device (if one were to use that term broadly) derived from engineering requirements, known electrical stimulation principles, and regulatory standards.

Pure Impact is indicated to be used for:
- Improvement of abdominal tone, for strengthening of the abdominal muscles, for development of firmer abdomen.
- Improvement of muscle tone and firmness, for strengthening muscles in arms, thighs and buttocks areas.
- The Pure Impact is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Pure Impact is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. The various types of muscle work that the Pure Impact can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Pure Impact may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training.
Pure Impact device provides both training and physical therapy using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). The EMS is provided through electrodes that are controlled by the Touch Control Module.
The system includes:
- Touch Control Module
- Pure Impact™ Wireless Stimulation Modules
- Pure Impact™ Electrode Pads
- Pure Impact™ Charging Station
The Touch Control Module runs the Pure Impact™ program and displays the user interface, which provides the full range of controls to identify the patient and the required treatment. The Pure Impact™ Wireless Stimulation Modules provide EMS to selected body locations on the patient and communicate to the Touch Control Module through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Each Stimulation Module contains a main stimulation unit and several stimulation subunits, each of which is attached to a Pure Impact™ Electrode Pad placed on the patient. The Pure Impact™ Electrode Pads are disposable and intended for single patient, single use only. They contain a hydrogel adhesive to attach to the selected body locations on the patient and magnetic connectors to attach to the Stimulation Modules. The Pure Impact™ Charging Station charges the Stimulation Modules.
This FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to the Pure Impact device, a powered muscle stimulator. The clearance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Pure Impact Module of the SofWave System (K250146).
The document states that the Pure Impact device is a modification of the predicate, with the only changes being related to the standalone PC, GUI, and software updates. It explicitly states that no changes were made to the Pure Impact Charging Station Unit, Pure Impact Wireless Stimulation Modules, or Pure Impact Electrode Pads. Furthermore, the change does not affect the treatment protocols, stimulation parameters, or energy delivery.
Therefore, the performance data and acceptance criteria for electrical muscle stimulators (EMS) typically revolve around safety and technical specifications, rather than clinical efficacy or diagnostic accuracy, which would involve more complex studies like MRMC or ground truth assessment from expert consensus or pathology. This is because EMS devices, particularly those for muscle conditioning, are often cleared based on demonstrating that their technical characteristics (e.g., waveform, output, safety features) are equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, and that these characteristics do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Given the information provided, which heavily emphasizes direct technical comparison and safety testing (electrical safety, EMC, software V&V), the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" are primarily framed around these technical and safety aspects, and the device's functional equivalence to its predicate. There is no mention of a clinical study assessing improvement in muscle tone or firmness with quantified metrics from human subjects, or any study involving human readers/experts for performance evaluation, as would be common for diagnostic AI/ML devices.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based solely on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter:

- Electrical Safety (IEC 60601-1)
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2)
- Specific medical electrical equipment standards (IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-2-10)
- Risk analysis (ISO 14971)
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not detail a specific "test set" in terms of patient data or clinical images, as this is a modification of an existing EMS device primarily cleared based on technical and safety equivalence. The testing described is primarily engineering verification testing of the device's hardware and software components.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of patient data or clinical performance. The "test set" refers to the specific Pure Impact device and its components undergoing engineering and software verification.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data. The "data" pertains to the results of internal engineering and software validation tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. This device is an electrical muscle stimulator, and its clearance is based on technical equivalence and safety testing, not on the interpretation of medical images or other diagnostic data where expert ground truth would be established. The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be against its own design specifications and relevant safety standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies involving human readers or expert panels to resolve discrepancies in diagnoses or assessments. This type of study was not conducted for this 510(k) clearance.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. Such studies are typically conducted for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI algorithms for medical imaging) to assess the impact of AI assistance on human reader performance. This device is an electrical muscle stimulator where the primary demonstration of effectiveness for this submission is substantial equivalence to a predicate's technical and safety characteristics.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
While the device itself is a "standalone" product (meaning it's not a module of the SofWave system anymore), the clearance does not describe an "algorithm only" performance study in the context of diagnostic AI/ML. The "standalone" aspect refers to its physical change from a module to an independent device with its own PC and GUI. The performance evaluation focuses on the engineering and software functionality of the device itself.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for this submission is primarily:
- Predicate Device Specifications: The technical and safety characteristics of the predicate device (Pure Impact Module of the SofWave System K250146) served as the "ground truth" for the subject device to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
- Regulatory Standards: Compliance with electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), specific EMS standards (IEC 60601-2-10), and risk management (ISO 14971) constitutes another form of "ground truth" for safety and performance.
- Design Specifications: The internal design specifications for the device, confirmed through verification testing, served as the "ground truth" for its functional performance.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not a submission for an AI/ML device that requires a training set of data. The "training" here refers to manufacturing the physical device to specifications and programming the software.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set does not apply. The "ground truth" for the device's development involves adherence to engineering design specifications, safety standards, and functional equivalence to the predicate.

Not Found
The provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the "3 in 1 TENS UNIT" (K250759) does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria related to AI/algorithm-based medical devices.
This document is a standard FDA clearance letter for a Class II medical device (Powered Muscle Stimulator, TENS/EMS unit). It confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices and is subject to general controls and other regulations like the Quality System (QS) regulation.
Specifically, the letter does not mention:
- Any AI or algorithmic components of the device.
- Specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) that would require a clinical study with acceptance criteria.
- Test sets, training sets, ground truth establishment, expert readers, or MRMC studies.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them based solely on the provided text. The information required for your request (1-9) is typical for AI/ML-based medical devices that require performance validation, which is not described in this standard 510(k) clearance letter for a TENS/EMS unit.
This device, being a "Powered Muscle Stimulator" (TENS/EMS unit), typically undergoes electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and performance testing related to its electrical output, waveform, and ability to deliver stimulation as intended, rather than AI-driven diagnostic or treatment algorithms.
