Intended Use

The Globus Premium Sport and the Globus Premium Fitness Muscle Stimulators are intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Globus Premium Sport and Globus Premium Fitness Muscle Stimulators are not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the Globus Premium training programs are designed for injured or ailing muscles and their use on such muscles is contraindicated

Device Description

The Globus Premium Sport and Fitness Devices are programmable muscle stimulators. Each device in the family comes with a menu to navigate between different stimulation programs. The Stimulation Programs have been subdivided in menus and submenus to facilitate use for various types of uses.

The Globus Premium Stimulators electrical impulses trigger action potentials on motor neurons of motor nerves. These excitations are transmitted via the motor end-plate to the muscle fibers, where they generate mechanical responses that result in muscle work. Depending on the electrical impulse parameters (current intensity, frequency, shape of the impulse, duration of contraction, duration of rest, total session duration) different types of muscle work can be performed. This work is able to improve or facilitate muscle performance, and may therefore be considered a muscle training technique.

The Globus Premium family models include the Globus Premium Sport and the Globus Premium Fitness. The configurations differ in the navigation menus that allow the user to select the pre-stored electrostimulation programs offered, but offer technically-identical electrostimulations. The core of the Globus Premium device is a constant-current generator; a transformer guarantees insulation between outlet current utilized for the battery charger, and the circuits utilized for stimulation current. A micro-processor elaborates the menu selections and drives the constant-current generator that originates the electrical impulses for the electrostimulation. This is accomplished according to the parameters stored for that particular program. The user can regulate the current continuously from 0-120 mA.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Globus Premium Sport and Fitness Muscle Stimulators. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance in the way a clinical trial or performance study for an AI/CADe device would. Instead, this submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be populated as they are not relevant to this type of regulatory submission for this device.

Here's an attempt to populate the table and answer the questions based on the provided text, indicating where information is not available or not applicable:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance Criteria (Not Explicitly Stated as "Acceptance Criteria")Reported Device Performance (Based on "Substantial Equivalence")
Similar design and function to predicate device (Compex Sport Stimulator)Met: Globus and predicate devices are similar in design and function, offering biphasic, rectangular, symmetrical, and compensated waveforms with beat frequencies of 1-120 Hz. Both are software-driven powered muscle stimulators for healthy muscles.
Similar technical characteristics and performance to predicate deviceMet: Globus Premium and Compex Sport are very similar in design configuration, technical characteristics, and performance, including maximum current output and maximum electric charge.
Compliance with general controls and relevant regulationsImplied Met: FDA's letter states that the device is substantially equivalent and can be marketed subject to general controls provisions (annual registration, listing, GMP, labeling, etc.).
Safe operation (implied by design, architecture, and isolation modes)Met: Proposed device architecture, safety features, and isolation modes are substantially similar to the predicate device.
Intended Use: Stimulate healthy muscles to improve/facilitate muscle performance, not for therapy/treatment of medical conditions or on injured/ailing muscles.Met: The stated intended use for the Globus Premium Sport and Fitness Muscle Stimulators aligns with the capabilities of a muscle stimulator for healthy muscles and explicitly excludes therapeutic uses.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable. This submission is a 510(k) for a muscle stimulator based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a performance study involving a test set of data. There is no mention of a test set or data provenance in the context of device performance testing.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. No test set or ground truth establishment by experts is mentioned or required for this type of 510(k) submission.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. No test set and therefore no adjudication method is mentioned.

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. This is a hardware device (muscle stimulator), not an AI or CADe device. Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study was performed or is relevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • No. This is a hardware device, not an algorithm, so standalone performance is not applicable in this context.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Not applicable. No ground truth for performance evaluation of a medical imagery or diagnostic algorithm is mentioned. The "ground truth" in this context is the performance and safety profile of the predicate device, which the new device is compared against.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. There is no mention of a training set as this is not an AI/ML device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. No training set is mentioned.

The Globus Premium family models include the Globus Premium Sport and the Globus Premium Fitness. The configurations differ in the navigation menus that allow the user to select the pre-stored electrostimulation programs offered, but offer technically-identical electrostimulations. The core of the Globus Premium device is a constant-current generator; a transformer guarantees insulation between outlet current utilized for the battery charger, and the circuits utilized for stimulation current.

5. INTENDED USE

The Globus Premium Sport and Fitness Muscle Stimulators are intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Globus Premium Sport and Fitness family of muscle stimulation devices are not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the Globus Premium training programs is designed for injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.

The Domino S.r.l. Globus Premium Sport and Fitness device and the Compex Sport Stimulator are similar in design and function. All of the devices offer a biphasic waveform, rectangular, symmetrical and compensated and a beat frequency in the range of 1-120 Hz. The Globus and predicate devices are software driven powered muscle stimulator units that provide the user with a treatment program for healthy muscles.

The Globus Premium and the Compex Sport devices are all very similar in design configuration, technical characteristics and performance. The Globus Premium devices maximum current output and maximum electric charge are very similar to the predicate device. The only significant difference between the Globus Premium Sport and Fitness and the predicate device is that the Globus Premium devices can perform stimulation on different muscular groups of the same subject.

{2}------------------------------------------------

This is accomplished by providing two different stimulation currents on different channels e.g. while stimulating the legs, it can also stimulate arms at the same time. The proposed Globus Premium Sport and Fitness device architecture, safety features and isolation modes are substantially similar to the predicate device.
