The Elitone for Men device is an electrical muscle stimulator designed to speed continence recovery in men following prostate surgery. Stimulation is delivered to the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures via a disposable electrode component configured to be applied to the skin in the perineal region. A small control unit component generates a therapeutic stimulation and allows the patient to increment or decrement the stimulation intensity. The applied electrical stimulation causes muscle contraction and relaxation in a treatment regimen that, with regular use over multiple weeks, is intended to speed continence recovery.

Dear Gloria Kolb:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Device Description Summary

21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)

Intended Use/Indications for Use

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

Elitone for Men is a non-implanted muscle stimulator designed to aid early continence recovery in men immediately following prostate surgery.

Indications for Use Comparison

21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)

The indication for use is specific to use by males following prostate surgery, whereas the predicate is specific to females. This is a necessary distinction because the patient-contacting component is anatomically shaped to fit the male anatomy. The intended use is unchanged, as both the subject and predicate devices deliver electrical muscle stimulation through a perineal-applied electrode to treat urinary incontinence.

Technological Comparison

21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)

The subject device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate. Further, the Elitone for Men and Elitone devices are identical (i.e. shared components) except for the electrode component, which have profiles corresponding the male and female anatomy respectively. The materials, construction, and performance parameters of the electrodes are identical.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions

21 CFR 807.92(b)

The FDA guidance document titled "Guidance Document for Powered Muscle Stimulator 510(k)s" was used in determining what types of bench tests were applicable for the controller component. Specifically, the table titled "Output Specifications" served as the template for characterizing performance. The subject Elitone for Men device shares components with the predicate Elitone device. Accordingly, no new bench testing was performed on the controller component. Performance of the electrode component, including for example the maximum current density, was characterized and found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate female electrode.

Clinical data were submitted to support the determination of substantial equivalence. The study was designed as a prospective case series. Sixteen subjects completed the treatment and were included in the analysis. Subjects initiated treatment with the Elitone for Men device approximately 1 month after prostate surgery (mean 35.5 ± 13.3 days post-surgery). The study population had a mean age of 65.3 ± 5.3 years and mean BMI of 27.5 ± 4.9. Subjects were treated 4-5 times per week for 12 weeks. Subjects recorded baseline incontinence symptoms prior to initiating treatment and maintained treatment/symptom logs throughout the study. Effectiveness was assessed by reduction in 24-hour pad weights.

A control group was needed given the significant natural recovery of continence that occurs following prostatectomy, particularly during the first-year post-surgery. A systematic review of continence outcomes reported using a 24-hour pad weight test; multiple continence assessments within the first three months following radical prostatectomy; and inclusion of a control cohort consisting of either no active treatment or standard guided pelvic floor muscle exercises. Studies were excluded if they did not include multiple early post-operative assessments or included physician-guided or supervised pelvic floor muscle exercise programs. The control cohort was comprised of a total of 215 subjects. The literature review population was comparable to the study population in terms of post-operative timing, with assessments beginning in the early post-prostatectomy period when natural recovery is most pronounced.

For the Elitone for Men study cohort, mean 24-hour pad weight was 608 ± 598 grams at baseline (n=15), decreased to 238 ± 315 grams at 6 weeks, and further decreased to 147 ± 65 grams at 12 weeks. Men treated with the Elitone for Men device had a mean reduction in 24-hour pad weight at 6 weeks of 61% compared to a 45% reduction in pad weight for the control cohort. At 12 weeks men treated with the device had a mean reduction in 24-hour pad weight of 92% compared to 68% for men in the control group. While the use of a historical control has inherent limitations, including study heterogeneity, different patient populations, and varying surgical techniques across the referenced control studies, it provides evidence that the device may offer benefits beyond natural recovery.

No adverse events were reported during the study. Given the low-risk nature of this non-implanted, externally applied device, the observational clinical evidence provides acceptable support for safety and effectiveness in aiding early continence recovery in men immediately following prostate surgery.
