Relaxation Training Muscle Re-education

Device Story

MuscleSense™ II is a portable, dual-channel electromyography (EMG) device used for muscle re-education and relaxation training. It monitors muscle activity via surface electrodes attached to the patient; no electrical current is delivered to the patient. The device processes raw EMG signals through a bandwidth of 45-300 Hz and a 60 Hz notch filter. It provides real-time feedback to the clinician or patient through PEAK, COUNT, and RATIO modes. The device is battery-powered or operated via a wall-mounted power supply. By providing visual or auditory feedback on muscle activity, the device assists in training patients to control muscle tension or improve muscle function.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Sensitivity testing confirmed the device operates within an acceptable range to effectively monitor muscle activity.

Technological Characteristics

Dual-channel EMG; Input Impedance 10¹⁰ Ohms; Sensitivity 0.5 µV rms; Bandwidth 45-300 Hz; CMRR 115dB; 60 Hz notch filter; 0.28 µV input noise. Powered by 7 Vdc (UL544 approved) or 6 Vdc rechargeable Niad battery. Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 3.25"; Weight: 25 oz. Uses pre-gelled conductive electrodes.

Indications for Use

Indicated for relaxation training and muscle re-education in patients requiring EMG monitoring.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A biofeedback device is an instrument that provides a visual or auditory signal corresponding to the status of one or more of a patient's physiological parameters (e.g., brain alpha wave activity, muscle activity, skin temperature, etc.) so that the patient can control voluntarily these physiological parameters.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter when it is a prescription battery powered device that is indicated for relaxation training and muscle reeducation and prescription use, subject to § 882.9.

{0} 510(k) Summary K970051 Smith & Nephew, Inc. DonJoy Division 2777 Loker Ave. West Carlsbad, CA 92008 JUL 10 1997 Contact Person: Dan W. Miller Phone: (760) 438-9091 Date Prepared: April 11, 1997 # INTRODUCTION The MuscleSense™ II is an EMG (Electromyography) device intended for medical use for muscle re-education and relaxation training. We consider the Smith & Nephew MuscleSense™ II portable EMG to be substantially equivalent to the Autogenics Systems' AT Dual Channel EMG and the Promethius Group Pathway™ MR-25 EMG System. The MuscleSense™ II, AT, and Pathway MR-25 are all indicated for relaxation training and muscle re-education. All three devices are used in conjunction electrodes. The MuscleSense™ II threshold sensitivity testing confirmed the device to fall within an acceptable sensitivity range to effectively monitor muscle activity. There is no electrical current being delivered to the patient. The device is supplied with pre-gelled conductive electrodes which have been cleared for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration under K851522/A. The device is battery powered or by a UL544 approved wall mounted power supply. Smith & Nephew, Inc. DonJoy Division ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Dan W.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {3} Page 2 - Mr. Dan W. Miller This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for *in vitro* diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648.
