No
The description mentions a "dynamic gait tracking algorithm" but does not provide any details suggesting it uses AI or ML techniques. The focus is on functional electrical stimulation and gait synchronization based on heel events.
Yes
The device is intended to provide therapeutic benefits by electrically stimulating muscles to improve gait, facilitate muscle re-education, prevent disuse atrophy, maintain/increase joint range of motion, and increase local blood flow.
No
The device is intended to provide electrical stimulation for improving gait, facilitating muscle re-education, preventing atrophy, maintaining joint range of motion, and increasing blood flow. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a Control Unit, Functional Stimulation Cuffs with electrodes and RF Stimulation units, a Gait Sensor, a L300 Tester, and a power supply. While it includes software for programming, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the NESS L300 Plus System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- NESS L300 Plus System Function: The NESS L300 Plus System is a therapeutic device that uses electrical stimulation applied externally to the body to improve gait in individuals with foot drop and thigh muscle weakness. It directly interacts with the patient's muscles and nervous system, rather than analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens, laboratory procedures, or diagnostic information derived from samples.
Therefore, the NESS L300 Plus System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NESS L300 Plus System is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion and knee flexion or extension in individuals with foot drop and thigh muscle weakness, following an upper motor neuron injury or disease. During gait the L300 Plus System electrically stimulates muscles in the affected leg to provide dorsiflexion of the foot and knee flexion or extension, thus it may improve the individual's gait. The L300 Plus System may also:
- Facilitate Muscle re-education
- Prevent/retard disuse atrophy
- Maintain or increase joint range of motion
- Increase local blood flow

Device Description
The NESS L300 Plus System is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion and knee flexion or extension in individuals with foot drop and thigh muscle weakness, following an upper motor neuron injury or disease. The NESS L300 Plus System is a combination of its two predicate devices of its two predicate devices, the NESS L300 (K080219) and the NESS System (K022776).
The NESS L300 Plus System consists of:
- A Control Unit that allows simple operation while displaying real time information regarding the system's status.
- Two Functional Stimulation Cuffs (L300 and Thigh, figures 11-2, 11-3 . respectively), that include two surface electrodes and an integrated configurable Radio Frequency Stimulation unit each.
- A Gait Sensor, which uses a dynamic gait tracking algorithm to detect heel events and wirelessly synchronizes stimulation.
- A Clinician's Programming System with software, which is used for system . programming by a trained clinician during configuration of the system for optimal fitting to the patient.
- A L300 Tester. The L300 Tester is utilized for checking the RFSs and FSCs for . functionality.
- A power supply with a 3-way splitter cable to charge the Control Unit and both . Radio Frequency Stimulation units.

The NESS L300 Plus System is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion and knee flexion or extension in individuals with foot drop and thigh muscle weakness, following an upper motor neuron injury or disease. During gait, the L300 Plus System electrically stimulates muscles in the affected leg to provide dorsiflexion of the foot and knee flexion or extension, thus it may improve the individual's gait. The L300 Plus System may also:
- Facilitate Muscle re-education .
- Prevent/retard disuse atrophy .
- Maintain or increase joint range of motion .
- . Increase local blood flow
Substantial Equivalence:
The Ness L300 Plus is a combination of the NESS L300 (K080219) and the thigh module from the NESS system (K022776).
The primary predicate device is the NESS L300 which is included in the NESS L300 Plus system almost in its entirety. The NESS L300 Plus incorporates all of the NESS L300 components excluding the control unit which is replaced with a new control unit for the L300 Plus. The NESS L300 Plus also incorporates a version of the thigh module from the NESS system, adapted to the L300 Plus system.

The logo consists of a stylized sun-like symbol on the left, followed by the word "Bioness" in a bold, outlined font. Below "Bioness" is the word "Neuromodulation" in a smaller, less bold font. The logo appears to be for a company that specializes in neuromodulation technology.
The NESS L300 Plus shares the intended use, technology and stimulation methods and main components with its predicate devices and in particular with the NESS L300.
Conclusion:
Bioness Neuromodulation believes that the NESS L300 Plus is substantially equivalent to the NESS L300 (K080219) and the NESS (K022776) predicate systems without raising any new safety and effectiveness concerns.
