Device Description

The EMS System is a series of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes embedded in a compression textile body suit intended to be worn by a user during physical exercise. When operated, the device provides localized electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) pulses to major muscle groups at controllable intensities. When operated, the device provides localized EMS pulses to major muscle groups at controllable intensities. The FastFit EMS system consists of the following primary components:

  • FastFit Exercise Suit
  • EMS Controller
  • Power Adaptor
  • FastFit Software Application

The FastFit Exercise Suit is a full body compression garment made from a Nylon/Spandex stretch fabric that incorporates embedded electrodes over key muscle groups. These electrodes are constructed of a conductive fabric sewn over a foam pad. Each electrode is connected via an integrated set of wiring leads sewn into the suit fabric that connect to a central contact pad at the right hip of the suit. A suit-to-controller connector at the central contact pad has 10 pairs of pins that act as lead contacts. Once connected to the suit, the EMS controller can deliver EMS pulses at the programmed intervals.

EMS pulse intensity and target locations are controlled via a Bluetooth connection with a user's smartphone installed with the FastFit software application. A graphic user interface displayed on the touchscreen of the smartphone allows for the user to customize the stimulation program parameters at their discretion. After stimulation parameters have been set by the user with the software application, the parameters are uploaded to the EMS controller, and stimulation can be started anytime at the discretion of the user. The EMS controller is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery. A separate with an AC power adapter is provided to recharge the EMS controller when not in use.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Summary for the FastFit EMS System, seeking substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a comparative study proving the device meets specific performance metrics in a clinical or AI-assisted context.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information as the document does not describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets such criteria.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on:

  • Indications for Use: The FastFit EMS System is intended to stimulate healthy muscles to improve or facilitate muscle performance, similar to the predicate devices.
  • Technological Features: A detailed comparison of the FastFit EMS System with its predicate devices (Compex® Wireless USA and Katalyst Mark 1 Muscle Stimulation System) regarding their design, power source, charging, output specifications, and interfaces.
  • Nonclinical Testing: Summary of tests performed including system design verification, software verification/validation, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, biocompatibility, and usability/human factors testing. These tests confirm the device's basic functionality and safety, but not its performance against specific acceptance criteria for efficacy in a clinical setting with human subjects or AI-assisted readings.

The document explicitly states: "The information and data provided in this 510(k) submission identifies no new safety or effectiveness issues. Based on the above information, FastFit believes that the substantial equivalence of the FastFit EMS system to the Compex Wireless USA and Katalyst Mark 1 has been demonstrated." This indicates the submission is for regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence, not for demonstrating specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria through a comparative study.

SUMMARY OF SIMILARITIES / DIFFERENCES:

The FastFit EMS system provides localized electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) pulses to major muscle groups at controllable intensities in the same way as both the predicate devices. All three devices are intended to be used in addition to physical exercise to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The same fundamental technology platform is employed by all three devices. These devices are all comprised of a set of electrodes powered by a portable battery pack that can deliver an electrical stimulation that is adjustable by the user through a wireless remote user interface. The FastFit EMS system and the Katalyst Mark I both have their electrodes integrated into a wearable body suit, whereas the Compex® Wireless USA allows for each electrode to be independently positioned at the users' discretion.

One notable difference between the FastFit EMS system and the predicate devices is that the FastFit EMS delivers EMS with a much lower maximum current density and power density. This can be accomplished because the FastFit EMS system uses a larger electrode surface area and a lower duty cycle. A lower maximum current and power density for the FastFit represents a lower risk to the user in comparison to the predicate devices.

Another notable difference is in the interface application. The FastFit EMS uses a software application that downloads onto a mobile device (such as a smartphone), whereas the Compex® Wireless uses a software application installed on a proprietary remote device and the Katalyst Mark I uses a software application on a commercially available tablet (Microsoft Surface). Although a few other minor differences exist between the subject and predicate devices (see Basis for Substantial Equivalence Table), these differences do not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTING:

Comprehensive design verification and validation testing was performed on the FastFit EMS system. Results from bench and animal testing demonstrated that the function, performance, and safety of the device meet its intended use. Testing performed included a combination of the following:

  • System Design Verification Testing ●
  • Software Verification and Validation ●

{10}------------------------------------------------

  • Electrical Safety Testing (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-2-10) ●
  • . Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing (IEC 60601-1-2)
  • Biocompatibility Testing (ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, and ISO 10993-10) ●
  • Usability/Human Factors Testing

Overall, testing confirmed that the FastFit EMS system can be used according to its intended use and in an equivalent manner to the predicate device.

CONCLUSION:

The information and data provided in this 510(k) submission identifies no new safety or effectiveness issues. Based on the above information. FastFit believes that the substantial equivalence of the FastFit EMS system to the Compex Wireless USA and Katalyst Mark 1 has been demonstrated.
