AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for TENS/EMS devices. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study to prove acceptance criteria for a new, unique device. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to medical imaging AI study design are not applicable.

Here's an analysis based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the way one would for a performance study of a diagnostic device. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence by comparing the technological characteristics and output specifications of the new devices (MH8000 Series) to those of predicate devices (Comfy STIM, Comfy EMS, Comfy TENS). The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred as being substantially equivalent to the predicate device across various parameters, within acceptable deviations that do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Study Information (Not an AI-based Diagnostic Device Study)

The provided text is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a TENS/EMS device. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than conducting a de novo clinical trial or AI performance study with the specific elements requested (sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance for AI, etc.).

Therefore, for the following points, the answer derived from the provided text is that the information is not applicable in the context of an AI-based diagnostic device study, or the study type is a non-clinical bench test comparison rather than a clinical performance study.

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. This is a non-clinical, bench testing comparison against specifications derived from a predicate device, not a human reader or AI performance study with a "test set" of cases/data points.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" consists of electrical output measurements and physical characteristics of the devices themselves, measured during manufacturing/testing processes, not patient data from a specific country or collected retrospectively/prospectively.

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. "Ground truth" for this type of device comparison is established by reference to engineering specifications, national/international standards (e.g., EN60601-1, EN60601-1-2), and the technical characteristics of the predicate device. No human experts are used to establish ground truth on patient outcomes or interpretations in this context.

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

  • Not applicable. There is no "adjudication" in the sense of resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations found in AI studies. The determination of whether the new device meets specifications is based on direct measurement and comparison to predefined engineering and safety limits.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is an electrical stimulator, not an imaging device or an AI assistant for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted or is relevant to this submission.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a medical device (TENS/EMS unit) which functions directly on a patient; it does not involve a "standalone algorithm" in the context of AI performance. Its function is its standalone performance in delivering electrical stimulation according to its parameters.

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

  • Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" here is based on engineering specifications, compliance with recognized international safety and EMC standards (EN60601-1, EN60601-1-2), and the established output characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (K071951). The intent is to show that the new device's physiological effects (pain relief, muscle stimulation) will be similar because its electrical output characteristics are substantially equivalent within safe parameters. References to textbooks for efficacy of TENS/EMS treatments are cited (Meryl Roth Gersh, Val Robertson, etc.), indicating that the principles of electrotherapy for the stated indications are well-established.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

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

  • Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document describes a bench testing and specifications comparison study to demonstrate substantial equivalence for a TENS/EMS device, not an AI performance study as typically seen for diagnostic algorithms. The "acceptance criteria" were met by showing that the new device's technical characteristics and output parameters are either identical to or within acceptable safety and effectiveness limits compared to the predicate device, especially considering that any differences (like slightly lower maximum output) were determined not to raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

(3) Regarding leakage current, please refer to safety report UT96026 and UT96027, Page 15, Clause 19 and appended table 19.4g. 19.4h and 19.4.h3. See Chapter 11, C.1.

18. Conclusions:

Our MH6000/MH8000 TENS and EMS Combo unit integrates EMS and TENS functions with 7 stimulation modes.

S Mode (Synchronous) and A Mode (Alternative) designed for EMS,

N Mode (Normal), M Mode (Rate and Width Modulation), B Mode (Burst), SD Mode

(Width Modulation) and MR Mode (Rate Modulation) designed for TENS.

Press MODE button to select only one stimulation mode, therefore TENS and EMS are used independently for the combination devices.

New devices and Predicate devices are the same in the:

    1. Power Source:
    1. Number of Output Modes;
    1. Number of Output Channels;
    1. With Microprocessor Control;
    1. Standards;
    1. Pulse Width control;
    1. Pulse Rate control;
    1. ON tome, OFF time, Ramp time; and
    1. Waveform Shape.

The difference of new devices and Predicate devices is as follows:

    1. Patient Leakage Current;
    1. Weight:
    1. Dimensions;
    1. The Maximum Output Voltage of the new devices is smaller than the Predicate devices;
    1. The Maximum Output Current of the new devices is smaller than the Predicate devices;
    1. The Maximum Phase Charge of the new devices is smaller than the Predicate devices;
  1. The Maximum Current Density of the new devices is smaller than the Predicate devices; and

  2. The Maximum Power Density of the new devices is smaller than the Predicate devices.

The maximum output Charge of the new devices is smaller than the predicate devices, so the maximum output Charge will not exceed the safe range.

The minimum phase charge for effectiveness of Transcutaneous Neural Stimulation is 3 micro-coulombs. Please refer to: M. Linzer, and D.M. Long, "Transcutaneous Neural Stimulation for Relief of Pain," IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, Vol.

The Phase Charge (micro-coulombs) =Amplitude (V) = Load (ohm) × Pulse Duration (uS). The amplitude is the size of the stimulus applied. It is measured either as the stimulus voltage or current. Stimulus voltages used clinically are typically in the range 10V to 100V or more. Stimulus currents are typically in the range 10mA to 100mA for clinical treatments. The amplitude is usually set according to the patient's level of comfort and to the aims of a treatment (refer to References 2., 3. and 4.). Recommended parameters for electrical stimulation to produce muscle contractions: Pulse duration 150 to 200uS for small muscles, 200 to 350uS for large muscles. Frequency 35 to 80Hz, Amplitude is "to contraction" (refer to References 5.). Stimulus parameters used for treatment: Pulse duration 200 to 300uS. Frequency 24 to 80Hz, Amplitude is 30 to 80mA (refer to References 1.).

According to the References, the amplitude is usually set according to the patient's level of comfort and to the aims of a treatment, therefore the effectiveness of EMS is decided by frequency and Pulse duration. The new devices have the same frequency and Pulse duration with the predicate devices (see the Output Specifications): and. The phase charge of the new devices is adjustable between 0.05 to 24 micro-coulombs enough demand, therefore the new devices and predicate devices have the same effectiveness.

According to above conclusions, the new devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and any differences between the devices do not pose any new questions of safety and effectiveness.
