First Choice Plus 11. Common or Usual Name: TENS unit (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) ## Classification Name: Stimulator, Nerve, Transcutaneous, For Pain Relief. #### Predicate Device Information: 10.3 The First Choice and First Choice Plus are equivalent to the FUJI TENS 804SIII (K893874). The First Choice Plus also has pulse width adjustment. ## 10.4 Device Description: The TENS devices are used to transmit electrical pulses through the skin to the underlying peripheral nerves to aid in the blocking of pain signals travelling to the brain. ## 10.5 Intended Use: TENS is used for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## 10.6 Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices: The First Choice has a slightly lower functionality than the FUJI TENS 804SIII (K893874) in that there is only one dial for pulse rate adjustment. This means that both the left and the right channels are controlled by one pulse rate dial as opposed to having two separate dials. The First Choice Plus has identical functionality to the 804SIII except that both the left and the right channels are controlled by one pulse rate dial as opposed to having two separate dials. It also has pulse width adjustment. All units use "shrouded patient cable connector's" to comply with the FDA's Final Rule "Medical Devices: Establishment of Performance Standards for Electrode Lead Wires and Patient Cables." ## 10.7 Non-clinical Testing: All required sections of the AAMI/ANSI NS-4 Standard were met. All units pass the required IEC 60601-1:1990 + a1:1993 + A2: 1995 standards. All units pass the IEC 601-1:1988 + a1:1991 + A2:1995 standards. ## 10.8 Clinical Testing: Not Applicable as there are no new or innovative aspects that have been introduced. ## 10.9 Conclusions: The First Choice and First Choice Plus have the same intended use and similar technical characteristics as the FUJI TENS 804SIII (K893874). The information supplied in this 510(k) illustrate that the devices do not pose any new questions of safety and effectiveness. The First Choice and First Choice Plus are substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s). {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
