Intended Use

The ActivaTek ActivaPatch Iontophoresis System is intended to be used for the administration of soluble salts into the body for medical purposes and as an alternative to hypodermic injection.

Device Description

The ActivaTek ActivaPatch Iontophoresis System (Iontophoresis Patch) consists of a self-contained, disposable single-use iontophoresis patch, instructions for use, and an alcohol prep pad containing 70% isopropyl alcohol.

The Iontophoresis Patch consists of an electronic module, an LED indicator, an active electrode, and a return electrode. These elements are incorporated under an adhesive foam covering which adheres the device to the skin. Its dimensions are 5.7 inches (length), 3.4 inches (width), and 0.2 inches (thickness).

The Iontophoresis Patch is designed to deliver a calibrated and fixed half dose of 40 mAmpminutes and a full dose of 80 mAmpminutes.

The ActivaPatch Iontophoresis System sequence of operation is signaled by its LED.

  • a) The operator applies the ActivaPatch to the skin.
  • b) The operator then pulls the tab located on the outer surface of the patch.
  • c) In the Initial Skin Impedance Measurement Phase, the ActivaPatch measures voltage across the active and return electrodes to indicate the level of skin impedance. For high skin impedance, the LED flashes once every 4 seconds. This indicates that the skin impedance is too high for iontophoretic delivery. The treatment timer is not started. For moderate skin impedances, the LED flashes pulses four times every 30 seconds. The patch continues to monitor the skin impedance but does not turn on the treatment timer. When the skin impedance becomes optimal, the LED blinks once every 30 seconds. This indicates that the impedance is appropriate to start an iontophoretic treatment session and the ActivaPatch starts the treatment timer.
  • d) In the First Half Dose Delivery Phase, the ActivaPatch LED continues to blink once every 30 seconds. This phase lasts 80 minutes and delivers an ionic dosage of 40 mA*minutes. At the end of the First Half Dose Delivery, the LED blinks short-long-short sequences every 30 seconds for 3 minutes. This signals to the user that the transition to the Second Half Dose Delivery Phase has begun.
  • e) During the Second Half Dose Delivery Phase, the ActivaPatch LED blinks two pulses every 30 seconds. During this final phase, another 40 mA*minute dose is delivered. At the end of the delivery, the power in the device is automatically shut off and the LED does not blink.
  • f) If at any time the skin impedance increases to high levels (e.g., the electrode falls off of the skin site) the ActivaPatch goes into the Skin Measurement Phase and the LED flashes pulses once every 4 seconds. The treatment timer is suspended and restarts when the skin impedance falls to optimal levels.
AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the ActivaTek ActivaPatch Iontophoresis System. It focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than directly presenting a study with acceptance criteria and measured performance.

Therefore, many of the requested items (e.g., sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not available in this type of regulatory submission. This document aims to demonstrate that the new device is as safe and effective as existing, legally marketed devices, rather than proving its "performance" against specific acceptance criteria in a detailed clinical study.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria as implied by the device's specifications and the implicit "performance" is that it functions as described and is equivalent to predicate devices.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Implied from Device Description/Specifications)Reported Device Performance (as described)
Dose Delivery:
- Calibrated half dose40 mAmp*minutes
- Calibrated full dose80 mAmp*minutes
Voltage:6V
Operational Signaling (LED):Functions as described for:
- High skin impedanceFlashes once every 4 seconds
- Moderate skin impedanceFlashes four times every 30 seconds
- Optimal skin impedance (treatment start)Blinks once every 30 seconds
- First Half Dose Delivery (80 mins, 40mA*min)Blinks once every 30 seconds
- Transition to Second Half Dose Delivery (3 mins)Blinks short-long-short sequences every 30 seconds
- Second Half Dose Delivery (40mA*min)Blinks two pulses every 30 seconds
- End of DeliveryLED does not blink (power shut off)
- Increased skin impedance during treatmentFlashes once every 4 seconds (timer suspended)
Intended Use:
- Administration of soluble salts for medical purposesStated as "intended to be used for..."
- Alternative to hypodermic injectionStated as "intended to be used for..."
Substantial Equivalence:Found substantially equivalent to EMPI Action Patch (K030395) and ActivaTek Trivarion Buffered Iontophoresis Electrode (K061522).

The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is implicitly the technical and performance testing conducted by ActivaTek Inc. to demonstrate that the device functions according to its design specifications, allowing the FDA to determine substantial equivalence. Details of these specific tests are not provided in this 510(k) summary but would be part of the full 510(k) submission. The FDA's letter states: "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent..." This indicates that the submitted documentation (including test reports, bench data, etc., which are not in this summary) was sufficient for their decision.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Not provided in the 510(k) summary. Given the nature of an iontophoresis patch, testing would likely involve bench testing (electrical output, dosage accuracy, impedance monitoring), biocompatibility, and potentially limited human use studies for skin irritation or functionality, rather than large-scale clinical trials that would have clearly defined test sets and data provenance.

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 and not provided. The function of this device is largely objective (delivering a specific electrical dose) and does not involve subjective interpretation requiring expert ground truth in the way medical imaging AI might.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable and not provided.

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 iontophoresis patch, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm, but a hardware medical device with some automated operational sequences. Its "standalone" performance would be its ability to deliver the specified dose and manage impedance as described.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For a device like an iontophoresis patch, the "ground truth" for its performance would be derived from:

  • Bench Test Measurements: Direct electrical measurements of current, voltage, time, and calculated dosage.
  • Engineering Specifications: Adherence to defined parameters (e.g., 40 mAmpminutes, 80 mAmpminutes, 6V).
  • Predicate Device Equivalence: Demonstrating that its performance characteristics are comparable to legally marketed predicate devices, which themselves have an established safety and efficacy profile.

8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device that would require a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.
