The ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation Electrodes are intended for use as a disposable, conductive adhesive interface between the patient's skin and the Electrical Stimulator. ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation Electrodes are designed and intended to be used with marketed Electrical Stimulators, i.e. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), MENS (Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation), IF (Interferential) or PGF (Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation).
ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation electrodes arc non-sterile, disposable laminated. flexible structures composed of materials commonly used in this application: First Layer-White spun laced nonwoven tape or White 1/32" thick Polyethylene foam or a polypropylene substrate, coated with biocompatible adhesive. Second Layer- Conductive plastic film. Third Layer-Biocompatible conductive hydrogel coupling media. The electrodes are designed for single-patient/multiple application use. Because of the adhesive nature of the biocompatible hydrogel, no securing materials are required to secure the device to the patient's skin. The electrode has one type of connection point that can be used to connect the stimulation device to the electrodes. This connection point is compatible with all standard, marketed Neurostimulation devices. Lead wire assembly - 6" wire with .080 in. diameter female socket connected to one side of the wire.
The provided document describes the ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation Electrodes and its 510(k) summary for market clearance. The study presented focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through impedance testing and biocompatibility assessments, rather than a clinical efficacy study with human readers or outcomes data.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria (if stated) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Safety - Biocompatibility | "Required skin sensitivity testing criteria as specified in the Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices and ISO 10993-1 requirements for skin contact." This includes Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Primary Skin Irritation Tests. | The Katecho KM 10 Series of gels (file number K00870) and the Amgel 700 Series gels (file number K983741), which may be used in these electrodes, have passed these tests. |
| Effectiveness - Impedance | "Impedance levels as the criteria for effectiveness testing." Specific numerical thresholds are not provided, but the criterion is comparability to predicate devices. | "Results of the impedance testing revealed that the subject device's impedance values were comparable to the other predicate device(s) impedance values." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the impedance testing or biocompatibility tests. It only states that the gels "have passed" the required tests and that impedance values "were comparable."
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for either biocompatibility or impedance testing in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The biocompatibility tests refer to file numbers for the specific gels, implying these are existing test results for components rather than a new study specific to the ProStim device's final configuration. The impedance testing is described as being performed for the subject device in comparison to predicate devices, but details on where or when this was conducted are not provided.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. The study did not involve human expert interpretation or ground truth establishment in the context of clinical images or diagnoses. The "ground truth" for biocompatibility is established by standardized testing protocols, and for effectiveness, it's defined by impedance measurements against predicate devices.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There was no clinical study with human readers requiring adjudication.
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
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an electrode for neurostimulation, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. The submission is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and safety/effectiveness data, not a clinical efficacy study involving human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, in a conceptual sense. The "performance" of the device was assessed on its intrinsic characteristics (biocompatibility and electrical impedance) without human intervention in the measurement of these characteristics, or human interpretation as part of a diagnostic workflow. The device itself is a component in a system where a human typically applies it and uses it with an electrical stimulator.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- For Biocompatibility: The "ground truth" was established by the results of standardized in vitro and in vivo tests for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and primary skin irritation as specified by the "Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices and ISO 10993-1 requirements for skin contact."
- For Effectiveness (Impedance): The "ground truth" was indirectly established by the electrical impedance values of legally marketed predicate devices. The acceptance criterion was that the subject device's impedance values were "comparable" to these predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm and therefore does not have a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The safety and effectiveness data were generated through specific tests and comparisons to predicate devices, not through a learning phase.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as no training set was used.

The electrodes are designed for single-patient/multiple application use. Because of the adhesive nature of the biocompatible hydrogel, no securing materials are required to secure the device to the patient's skin.

Lead wire assembly - 6" wire with .080 in. diameter female socket connected to one side of the wire.
Predicate Technological Characteristics Comparison: ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation electrodes are technologically equivalent to the predicate devices. They are physically and technically similar to those currently being marketed for "Neurostimulation" i.e., TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), MENS (Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation), IF (Interferential) and PGS (Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation).
Safety and Effectiveness: ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation electrodes are as safe and effective as the Naimco E-Z stik electrodes (K050469) and Lead-Lok (K010431) which were previously found to be substantially equivalent via 510(k) Premarket Notifications.
The first safety issue considered was whether the gel, which is used to adhere the electrode to the skin and which is the only portion of the electrode to maintain skin contact, would cause any skin irritation. The Katecho KM 10 Series of gels (file number K00870) and the Amgel 700 Series gels (file number K983741), which may be used in this family of electrodes, have passed the required skin sensitivity testing criteria as specified in the Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices and ISO 10993-1 requirements for skin contact. These tests include Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Primary Skin Irritation Tests.
Because there are no published performance standards for Neurostimulation electrodes, Summit Manufacturing, L.L.C. uses impedance levels as the criteria for effectiveness testing. Results of the impedance testing revealed that the subject device's impedance values were comparable to the other predicate device(s) impedance values.
Based on the aforementioned information, ProStim considers its Reusable TENS/NMES electrodes to be as safe and effective as the predicate devices, as well as multiple other TENS/NMES electrodes currently being marketed including those manufactured by: Uni-Patch(K962910), MSB Limited (K980229), Axelgaard (K983741), Selective Med components, Inc. (K946230).Medtronic, Inc. (K875284), Medical Design & Manufacturing Corp. (K895604), and Labeltape Meditect. Inc. (K900656,K902719 and K894043).
