The assigned 510(k) number is:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ #### 1. Submitter's Identification: 138 Medical Supplies Inc. 313 Butler Street Brooklyn, NY 11217 # Date Summary Prepared: August 9, 1999 Contact: Ms. Isabelle Liang #### 2. Name of the Device: 1818 TENS Unit #### റ്റ് Predicate Device Information: The 1818 TENS Unit is substantially equivalent to the Diamond Medical TX-3 TENS Unit, K#883188. #### 4. Device Description: The device is used to transmit electrical pulses through the skin to the underlying peripheral nerves to help in the blockage of the pain signal traveling to the brain. #### 5. Intended Use: This TENS device is indicated for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long-term) intractable pain and as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post surgical and post traumatic acute pain problems. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 6. Comparison to Predicate Devices: The 1818 TENS Unit is substantially equivalent to the Diamond Medical TX-3 TENS Unit. ### 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows: All required sections of the AAMI/ANSI NS-4 Standard were met. All required IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 testing was met. #### 8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: Not Applicable #### 9. Conclusions: The 1818 TENS Unit has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the TX-3 TENS Unit device. Moreover, bench testing contained in this submission and clinical testing supplied demonstrate that technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the 1818 TENS Unit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
