  • Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
  • Re-educate muscles
  • Early post-surgical quadriceps strengthening and improved post surgical knee stability secondary to quadriceps strengthening
  • Relax muscle spasms
  • Increase blood circulation

In TENS Mode (Programs 7 - 9) the Kneehab XP is intended to:

  • Provide symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain
  • Provide an adjunctive treatment in the management of acute, post-surgical or post-traumatic pain
  • Provide symptomatic relief and management of intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis

Device Description

The Kneehab XP, Type 412/421 is a portable, battery operated, combination device which can provide both neuromuscular electronic stimulation (NMES) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The device incorporates multipath®, a patented technology developed by neurotech® which enables the Kneehab XP Conductive Garment to deliver highly focused and accurate NMES muscle contractions. This device also provides a method of pain management and relief through the use of TENS technology.

The Kneehab XP pack consists of a rechargeable control unit, a left or right universally sized garment, a pack of custom adhesive electrodes, a battery charger and instructions for use. The garment is fastened around the thigh and above the kneecap and contains a connector socket into which the control unit is plugged. Power is derived from a 3.6V NiMH rechargeable battery pack that is pre-installed in the unit. A battery charger is included with the device and the device cannot be used while being charged. The adhesive electrodes have an estimated usage capability of 20 sessions when used under the recommended conditions of use.

All internal connections of the unit are over molded to prevent moisture ingress. The user has no access to the wiring or connectors within the garment and is unable to alter the current path. There are nine treatment programs in total (six NMES and three TENS) with a duration of 20 minutes each. Program details are included in the instructions for use. For purposes of hygiene, the garment may be cleaned and instructions for device care are included in the user manual.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for the Kneehab XP, Type 412/421. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than providing clinical study data to meet specific performance acceptance criteria. Therefore, the document does not describe a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria.

Instead, it focuses on comparing the technological characteristics and intended uses of the Kneehab XP to existing predicate devices to argue for substantial equivalence. The document primarily highlights technical and functional comparisons rather than performance metrics from a clinical trial.

Based on the provided document, I cannot fulfill all sections of your request as it does not contain the information regarding an acceptance criteria study.

However, I can extract the following relevant information regarding the device and its intended use, which would typically form the basis for performance evaluation in a clinical study:

Dear Ms. Keenan:

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 (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
