Intended Use
The Neuro20 PRO System is intended to stimulate muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. Other indications for use include: - Re-educating muscles - Increasing local blood circulation - Maintaining or increasing range of motion - Relaxation of muscle spasm - Retarding or preventing disuse atrophy
Device Story
Neuro20 PRO System is a transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) device for rehabilitation and recovery. System components: Control Box (battery-powered stimulator), Smart Suit (wearable with integrated electrodes), and Operating Tablet (software interface). Trainer selects suit size, chooses pre-set training programs, and adjusts intensity per channel via tablet. Control Box transmits electrical impulses to electrodes via Bluetooth to induce involuntary muscle contractions; patient may perform voluntary exercises simultaneously. Device features safety mechanisms including short-circuit/overload protection, emergency stop buttons, and connector layout to prevent misconnection. Used by trained professionals in clinics, sports facilities, or home settings to improve muscle performance, increase circulation, or prevent atrophy. Output allows clinicians to monitor and modulate muscle work parameters (pulse intensity, duration, frequency) to tailor therapy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, software lifecycle, usability, and biocompatibility testing.

#### Device Description:
The Neuro20 PRO System is a powered muscle stimulator designed for individual or group rehabilitation and recovery. The Neuro20 PRO System is a transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) device which stimulates motor nerves by means of electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. The system utilizes electrical stimulation to create an involuntary contractions of motor neurons are transmitted to the muscle fibers where they stimulate a muscular response.
Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse intensity, pulse duration, pulse width, pulse rise, pause time, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The involuntary muscle activation can be voluntarily over-ridden through intentional exercise. Individual intensity levels can be modulated for each muscle group. One to ten patients may be treated within a session.

To the right of the word "NEURO" is the number "20" in a light blue color. There are also some light blue and black dots and lines that connect the word "NEURO" to the number "20". Below the word "NEURO" is the phrase "EFFICIENT HEALTH" in light blue letters.
### Device Description (continued)
The Neuro20 PRO System is comprised of three major components: the Control Box with battery (the muscle stimulator), Smart Suit (the wearable suit with electrodes covering the muscles), and Operating Tablet with software which allows the medical professional to adjust the parameters for the patient. Users may be actively engaged within a variety of training modes while the clinician/operator controls the software. The Neuro20 PRO System accessories are a battery charger, protective case, and Smart Suit packaging.
The Neuro20 Control Box connects to the suit and is powered by a battery. It is controlled by the medical practitioner operating the software. The Smart Suit applies the electrodes to the upper body, arms, legs, and buttocks. The Control Unit is connected to the Operating Tablet wirelessly.
The Neuro20 PRO System is to be used in a professional setting such as physicians' office, physical therapist, professional sports setting, and nursing homes as well as in the home healthcare environment. The device must be operated by a trainer who has received full training from the manufacturer. Prior to a training session the correct suit size is selected for the patient in order to ensure proper placement of the electrodes. The trainer can choose between pre-set training programs on the software. The intensity can be adjusted by the trainer at the UI of the Operating Tablet separately for each channel. Complete body training which addresses all muscle groups is possible with up to 10 pairs of electrodes. Once the training is started, the control unit generates and transmits the electrical signals to the electrodes via Bluetooth. During pulse application, the trainer instructs the patient on specific exercises to perform. The training can be stopped anytime by pressing the multi-function / stop button, pause button on the software, or on the Control Box connected to the Suit.

To the right of the word "NEURO" is a graphic of blue and black dots and lines, followed by the number "20" in blue. Below the word "NEURO" is the phrase "EFFICIENT HEALTH" in smaller, blue letters.
#### Technological Characteristics Comparison with Predicates:
The design and material differences between the Neuro20 PRO System, the primary predicate and secondary predicate is that the Neuro20 PRO System design is a complete body suit made of flexible spandex with electrodes that do not contain accessible plugs or cables but does contain a battery pack with rechargeable Bluetooth technology. The miha bodytec II uses external power supply to operate and involves the use of an ibody® electrode polyurethane vest worn by the patient, with electrodes worn over under garments and a control unit mounted on a stand, connected with the control unit via cables. The Compex® Rehab is a battery-powered hand-held stimulator which connects to cutaneous electrodes, placed manually on the body part being targeted (including the same body parts as those targeted by the Neuro20 PRO System and miha bodytec II).
In summary for energy comparison between the Neuro20 PRO System, the primary predicate and secondary predicate, and miha bodytec II, the Neuro20 PRO has less maximum output voltage, output current, power density and phase charge than the primary predicate and secondary predicate miha bodytec II. The Neuro20 PRO system is within the pulse width, pulse frequency, and pulse duration range of the primary predicate and secondary predicate. miha bodytec II . The waveforms of the Neuro20 PRO System, the primary predicate and secondary predicate and the miha bodytec II are similar. The Neuro20 PRO System has more safety options then the primary predicate and secondary predicate miha bodytec II in that the Neuro20 PRO System connector layout is designed to prevent misconnection, current regulation, no charging of the device is possible while training (removal of accumulator), fuses and lock bits against manipulation, battery, voltage, and output current monitoring.
