(957 days)
Buzzy® is intended to control pain associated with needle procedures (e.g., injections, vascular access, cannulation, lab draws, blood donation, dialysis, cosmetic and dental injections) and the temporary relief of minor injuries (muscle or tendon aches, splinters, and bee stings).
VibraCool® is intended for the temporary relief of minor injuries (muscle or tendon aches) and the treatment of myofascial pain post-surgery. It is also indicated for use prior to or during physical therapy to treat myofascial pain caused by trigger points, restricted motion and muscle tension.
Buzzy® and VibraCool® devices are external use, skin contacting vibration devices that can be used with heat (for VibralCool® Flex, VibraCool® Pro UE and VibraCool® Pro LE)or cold therapy (for all Buzzy® and VibraCool® models) to provide pain relief. The brand names encompass the same two shapes of vibrating devices using the same motor. Buzzy Pro and VibraCool Pro are a new shape with the same motor submitted in this 510K. To accommodate various uses and anatomical locations, the Buzzy and VibraCool devices are available in three different shapes and are provided with different sets of accessories.
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria for the Buzzy® and VibraCool® devices, not a medical imaging AI device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, and MRMC studies is not applicable to this document.
However, I can extract the relevant information concerning the device's performance validation based on the provided text.
Here's the breakdown of what is available and what is not:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a tabulated format with numerical targets that the device had to meet for pain reduction. Instead, it refers to a clinical study that evaluated the device's effect on pain.
Implicit "Acceptance Criteria" (based on study results):
- Reduced pain during/after vaccination. The study results show a statistically significant reduction in pain scores for the Buzzy group compared to the control.
Reported Device Performance (from Clinical Study - Table 4):
| Performance Metric | Reported Device Performance (Buzzy Group) | Control Group Performance | Statistical Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pulse | Lower after injection | Not specified | p=.037 (lower for Buzzy) |
| Average Pain (FLACC Score) During Vaccination | 6.07 (SD = 2.34) | 9.07 (SD = 1.2) | p=.001 |
| Average Pain (FLACC Score) After Vaccination | 1.13 (SD = 1.53) | 4.2 (SD = 1.24) | p=.001 |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: N = 60 (for the clinical study in infants).
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin. It indicates it was a "Prospective, randomized study" of infants receiving the MMR vaccine.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated as "experts" for ground truth, but "nurses and parents" rated the pain using the FLACC scale. No specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience) are provided for these raters.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Adjudication Method: Not specified. Pain was rated by nurses and parents, but it's not clear if there was any conciliation or adjudication process if their ratings differed.
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: No, this is not an AI device. The study evaluated the direct effect of the Buzzy device on pain compared to a control.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable, as this is a non-AI therapeutic device.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Type of Ground Truth: Pain scores rated by nurses and parents using the FLACC (Faces, Legs, Arms, Cry, Console) scale, which is an observational pain scale. This could be considered observational/clinical assessment data as ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is a non-AI device; there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The clinical study described in Table 4 is the validation study for the device's efficacy.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI model.
Summary of Non-AI Related Information from Document:
The document outlines the FDA's 510(k) clearance for Buzzy® and VibraCool® devices based on their substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K130631 Buzzy®). The primary changes and justifications for substantial equivalence include:
- Addition of VibraCool models: Justified by using the same vibration device, external use, and supporting clinical data for vibration + heat/cold therapy for pain.
- Addition of "Pro" lines (Buzzy Pro, VibraCool Pro): Justified as being identical in materials, motor, circuitry, functionality, and intended use, differing only in shape.
- Updated Indications for Use: Clarified "needle procedures" for Buzzy with examples, and refined VibraCool's indications regarding myofascial pain, stating these clarifications do not introduce new questions of safety/effectiveness.
- Expanded Patient Population: Buzzy with cold pack is now indicated for 1 year and older (vs. 4+), and VibraCool/Pro with hot pack for 12 years and older. This was supported by a clinical study.
Non-Clinical Testing:
- Temperature testing (device surface and skin surface).
- Seal integrity/strength testing of hot packs.
- Shelf stability tests of hot packs.
- Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, CFR 47 FCC Part 15).
Clinical Testing:
- A prospective, randomized study evaluated the effect of Buzzy on pain in 60 infants (12-month olds) receiving the MMR vaccine.
- Results: The Buzzy group showed significantly lower average pain scores (FLACC scale) during and after vaccination compared to the control group (p=.001 for both). Pulse was also lower after injection for Buzzy (p=.037).
- Ground Truth: Pain rating by nurses and parents using the FLACC scale.
The conclusion is that based on non-clinical testing and clinical evidence from published studies, the new and modified devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and are substantially equivalent to the predicate.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION
- Addition of VibraCool
The addition of VibraCool does not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Like the devices cleared in K130631, VibraCool uses the same vibration device and is intended for external use utilizing vibration and heat or cold therapy to relieve pain. VibraCool is to be used on a wider range of locations on the body (e.g., knees, ankles, and feet). However, it is still the same external, intact skin- contacting device. Additionally, questions regarding the efficacy of VibraCool are addressed by clinical data from several published clinical studies. These data support the efficacy of the combination of vibration and heat or cold therapy for physical therapy. Labeling will include a limit of 4 years and older patients when using cold.
The addition of a commercially available hot pack as a heat therapy mode with VibraCool Flex and VibraCool Pro Upper/Lower Extremity when used for the temporary relief of minor injuries (muscle or tendon aches) and the treatment of myofascial pain post-surgery and during physical therapy does not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The safety and effectiveness of VibraCool used with heat therapy are addressed by clinical data from several published clinical studies. Labeling will include a limit of 12 and older patients when using heat, and a shelf life of 3 years.
Addition of "Pro" Lines of Buzzy and VibraCool ●
The Buzzy Pro and VibraCool Pro are identical to the predicate device in terms of materials, vibration motor, circuitry, functionality, and intended use. They differ only in shape but are comparable in size to the predicate devices. Specifically, the Pro devices are distinguished by their rectangular shape to offer users a more professional looking alternative to the bee-shape of the other devices. It may be used with the same accessories as the other VibraCool devices. There are no new questions regarding safety and effectiveness.
- . Updated Indications for Use Statements
- O Buzzy:
The updated statement uses "needle procedures" to capture the range of scenarios in which Buzzy would be used and then provides examples of these types of procedures. Vascular access, cannulation, and dialysis are equivalent to IV starts and lab draws and blood donation is equivalent to venipuncture. Dental injections are another type of needle procedure which has been clinically investigated for this use. The data support this indication as subjects reported a meaningful reduction in pain when using Buzzy compared to no intervention at all.

VibraCool: o
The indication for use statement associated with the predicate device (K130631) refers to temporary relief of minor injuries such as muscle or tendon aches. K130631's IFU also includes treating myofascial pain caused by trigger points, muscle tension and restricted motion. The updated VibraCool's IFU (K202993) includes treatment of myofascial pain post-surgery and treatment of myofascial pain caused by trigger points, restricted motion, and muscle tension prior to or during physical therapy. This change does not result in new intended use, as the subject VibraCool devices are, as the predicate devices, intended to provide temporary relief of minor overuse injuries and tendinitis. Rather, the new indications for use provide clarification on the context of use of the VibraCool devices. This change is therefore not expected to affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. -

ages 1 and older, while the predicate device is indicated for patients of ages 4 and older. The use of a hot pack with the VibraCool or VibraCool Pro subject devices are indicated for use on patients 12 and up. This change in intended population does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The labeling for heat packs will be for age 12 and up.
SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING
The following tests were performed to demonstrate safety based on current industry standards:
- Temperature testing (device surface and skin surface) over the entire treatment period, after the ● initial activation and after the maximum number (5) of boil-cool reuse cycles.
- . Seal integrity/strength testing of hot packs
- Shelf stability tests of hot packs
- Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility: ●

SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTING
The performance of the Buzzy devices on pediatric populations above the age of 1 year old was evaluated in various clinical settings for pain relief during vascular access and needle-related procedures. A study in infants published in a peer-reviewed scientific publication is summarized in Table 4 below.

| Prospective, randomized studyevaluating the effect of Buzzyon the pain of infants receivingMMR vaccine using the total"facial expression, legmovements, activity, cry,and consolability" (FLACC)scale rated by nurses andparents.Study Subjects: 12-month oldsN = 60 | The pulse was lower after injection forBuzzy (p=.037). Average pain ratedwith FLACC (Faces, Legs, Arms, Cry,Console) was lower during (6.07 (SD =2.34)) and after vaccination (1.13 (SD =1.53)) in the Buzzy group than control(9.07 (SD = 1.2)), (4.2 (SD = 1.24)),respectively (p=.001) | Siktas, O.

CONCLUSION
Based on the testing performed to confirm electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety, and the clinical evidence described in published clinical studies, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate devices. The similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed Buzzy, Buzzy Pro, VibraCool, and VibraCool Pro devices are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
