AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for the "Mini Model EC12-01" Powered Muscle Stimulator. It claims substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Slendertone 561 (K071666). However, the document does not describe an acceptance criteria or explicitly detail a performance study proving the device meets specific performance criteria through empirical testing with human subjects or a defined dataset.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device by comparing technical specifications and intended use, and by showing compliance with relevant safety standards.

Here's a breakdown based on the information provided, highlighting what is present and what is missing:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

This information is not explicitly provided in terms of discrete acceptance criteria and corresponding reported performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) for device functionality related to muscle stimulation efficacy.

The document does include a table comparing the EC12-01 to the predicate device (MODEL561) across various parameters (Mode/Function, Duration, Intensity Range, Waveform, etc.). This table serves to demonstrate that the devices are technically similar, implying similar performance. The "Discussion" column in this table addresses potential differences and argues that they do not constitute safety or effectiveness differences, thereby serving a similar purpose to a performance claim.

Table of Technical Comparison (serving as indirect performance comparison):

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

This is not applicable/information not provided as no test set requiring adjudication was described.

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:

This is not applicable. The device is an electrical muscle stimulator, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool that would involve human readers or AI assistance in that context.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

This is not applicable. The device is a physical muscle stimulator, not an algorithm. Its operation inherently involves human interaction (placing electrodes, selecting programs, adjusting intensity). The "software" mentioned drives the electrical pulses, it's not a standalone diagnostic or interpretive algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

This is not applicable/information not provided as no study requiring such ground truth was described for the device's performance in improving muscle performance. The "ground truth" for the submission's argument is the predicate device's established safety and effectiveness.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable/information not provided. There is no mention of a "training set" in the context of device performance assessment. The "programming" of the CMOS chip is mentioned, but this refers to the internal software development rather than machine learning training.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable/information not provided. As there is no training set described for performance assessment, there is no mention of how ground truth would have been established for it.

EC12-01 has two programs for muscle performance improvement, as well as programs for exercise preparation and post-exercise active recovery. Depending on your objective your objective, you may select the appropriate program as follows:

ObjectiveProgram numberIntensity RangeDuration
Exercise PreparationMode 11-1012
Active Recovery 1Mode 21-1030

K110057

Mode 1: Build Endurance (20 Min.)

This program gently warms up the muscles prior to exercise. It uses a technique called ""twitch potentiation" to prepare muscle fibers for exercise. It feels like a rhythmic massage. Increase the intensity unit you get a strong, but comfortable muscle movement.

Mode 5: Build Endurance (20 Min.)

This program uses a low frequency pulse train which favors twitch fibers. It develops their aerobic capacity and capillary supply and thereby exercises. The exercise comprises an alternating sequence of work and rest and deep muscle contraction. Do not exceed your comfort level.

Mode 6: Muscle Strengthening(20 Min.)

This program uses a pulse frequency appropriate to fast twitch muscle fibers It develops their aerobic capacity and is used for improving maximum muscle strength. The exercise comprises a sequence of work phases separated by longer relaxation phases. Increase the stimulation intensity until you get a strong and deep contraction. Do not exceed your comfort level.

Mode 2: Active Recovery 1 (30 Min.)

This program produces muscle twitches at very low frequency and it feels like a tapping massage. This stimulates blood flow and helps speed up the removal of lactic acid as it accelerates the exchange between the blood supply and the muscle fibers. As a result, the muscles recover more quickly from fatigue, becoming more relaxed with reduced stiffness. Use it after intense exercise to promote recovery and relaxation.

Mode 3: Active Recovery 2 (20Min.)

This 20-minute program is similar to Active Recovery 1 except that the muscle twitch rate slows down during the session. It feels like a tapping massage, but softer than Active Recovery 1.

Mode 4: Active Recovery 3 (20 Min.)

This from of stimulation activates the muscle in a rhythmic motion in a short contraction/relaxation cycle. It feels like a kneading massage and is smoother than the other active recovery programs.

Differences

As noted in the table above, the EC12-01 has ten (10) levels of intensity, and the predicate has 99 levels. Both devices deliver from 0- 40V and 0-80mA. The predicate has control that is more precise in the range of control, but both deliver the same energy for stimulation. This does not constitute a safety or effectiveness difference.

The Slendertone 561 has 2 output channels, while the submitted Mini EC12-01 has a single channel of output. This difference does not constitute a difference in safety or effectiveness. This simply means the predicate device can deliver stimulation to two areas at a time, while the submitted device can deliver stimulation to one at a time.
