More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on basic electrical stimulation parameters and comparison to predicate devices based on power output, not on any adaptive or learning capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts.

Yes
The device is described as an "OTC TENS" intended for "temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles," which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as an OTC TENS unit intended for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles. It provides therapeutic electrical stimulation rather than diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a battery-operated TENS device, electrodes (upper arm belt, snap type adhesive electrode), and an LCD display. It also mentions adjustable output strength and pre-programmed waveforms, indicating hardware-controlled electrical stimulation.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the upper and lower extremities (arm and/or leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities." This describes a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) device, which delivers electrical impulses to the body for pain relief. This is a physical therapy modality, not a method for analyzing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on sample analysis.

The device is clearly described as a TENS unit for pain relief, which falls under the category of physical medicine or therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies

Power level testing comparison was conducted with the Prizm 5000-Z system using 1K ohm loading resistance for garment electrodes. The comparison showed that the model WL-2407 has a lower output power and power density than the Prizm 5000-Z system. Non-clinical tests were performed to determine substantial equivalence, including compliance to ANSI/AAMI, NS4-1985, EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2 requirements. Verification and validation tests demonstrated that the differences in the submitted model maintain the same safety and effectiveness as the cleared device.

Based on this comparison result, we made a acknowledge that the model WL-2407 has a lower output power and power density than that of Prizm 5000-Z system while using the same electrode, and that the garment electrode for prescription use will not be packed or sold with WL-2407 model. In case the garment electrode is to be used with WL-2407 model , the effectiveness is to be determined by the physician who prescribes the use of that electrode.

7 . Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:

Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ANSI/AAMI, NS4-1985, as well as EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2 requirement.

8. Conclusions

The OTC TENS for Arm & Leg Pain Relief / model WL-2407 has the same intended use and the similar technological characteristics as the cleared device of Prizm 5000-Z system (K033122) and Endurance Therapeutics T1040 (K060846). Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate that
