AI/ML Overview

The Ultima NEO is a multi-system electrotherapy device, combining TENS, EMS, MIC, and IF functionalities. The document provided is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria and results in the typical academic sense.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment cannot be fully provided as this type of detailed clinical study information is generally not included in a 510(k) summary for devices demonstrating substantial equivalence through technological comparison to predicates.

Instead, the submission relies on the assertion that its technological characteristics, intended use, and safety comply with relevant standards and are substantially equivalent to already marketed and cleared devices.

Here's an attempt to address the prompt based on the provided text, highlighting what is implicitly or explicitly stated and what is not available:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As this is a 510(k) summary for substantial equivalence, formal acceptance criteria and a detailed comparison table of quantitative performance metrics against these criteria are not provided. The "performance" assessment is based on the device's functional equivalence and compliance with established safety standards.

The document implicitly "accepts" the performance of the predicate devices as a benchmark. The reported device performance is described qualitatively as being "almost the same substantially" or "very similar" to the predicate devices in terms of features and operational parameters.

No quantitative performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or other clinical outcomes) are presented.

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable/not provided. No clinical "test set" in the traditional sense was used to evaluate the device's performance against specific clinical outcomes. The evaluation is primarily based on technological comparison and compliance with standards.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" here refers to the design specifications, software logic, and electrical characteristics of the Ultima NEO and its predicate devices. The information is derived from the device designs and established standards.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable/not provided. There was no explicit "ground truth" derived by experts for a clinical test set in this context. The review process involves regulatory bodies and their internal experts assessing the submission's claims of substantial equivalence.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable/not provided. No clinical test set requiring adjudication was conducted.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • Was an MRMC study done? No. This type of study is not relevant for this device, which is an electrical stimulator.
  • Effect Size: Not applicable.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop)

  • Was a standalone study done? Not applicable in the context of an "algorithm-only" or AI device. The device is a physical electrotherapy unit. The "performance" is assessed through engineering testing and comparison to the predicate devices' specifications and intended use.
  • The document states that the new device passes "the same tests of applicable recognized international consensus standards" as the predicate devices, indicating that its standalone (physical/electrical) functionality meets established safety and performance benchmarks.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: Not applicable for clinical efficacy. For device safety and functional performance, the "ground truth" is derived from:
    • Compliance with recognized international consensus standards: The document lists several IEC, ISO, and UL standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series for medical electrical equipment, ISO 14971 for risk management).
    • Substantial equivalence to predicate devices: The functional specifications, intended use, and safety profiles of the already cleared predicate devices serve as the benchmark for "truth."

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This device does not involve machine learning or AI that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" for this type of device is the engineering design and manufacturing process that ensures it meets specifications.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • How Ground Truth Established: Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth for a training set. The design principles and safety considerations are based on established medical device regulations and engineering best practices.

Technological Comparison:

    1. The new device Ultima NEO is a portable electrotherapy device which combines four systems : Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), Microcurrent (MIC) and Interferential (IF), into one enclosure. These four systems work separately. When one system is working, the others do not work and thus do not affected each other. This feature has been fully guaranteed by the design.
    1. The marketed device EasyMed EMS/TENS Model NMS-28 (K050921) combines the systems of a TENS and an EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulator or Powered Muscle Stimulator), into one package. It is a digital TENS/EMS combo unit which has been well exploited the digital technology, supplying the user preset programs and manual selectable programs with full ranges of parameters.
    1. The new device Ultima NEO also combines the systems of TENS and EMS into one package. It is also substantial equivalent to the marketed device EasyMed EMS/TENS Model NMS-28 (K050921), their features and performances in muscle controlling as well as pain relief therapy are almost the same substantially.
    1. The designed circuitry of TENS and EMS modes in the new device Ultima NEO is almost the same as the marketed device EasyMed EMS/TENS Model NMS-28 (K050921). For the TENS and EMS systems, they are of almost the same circuit diagrams and same working principle; The main difference between the two devices is that the new device Ultima NEO is also combined the Microcurrent (MIC) and Interferential (IF) systems into one package. But these systems are worked separately.
    1. The marketed device MT9000 Combo TENS/EMS/IF/MIC (K093138) is a combo device which includes the Microcurrent stimulation system. The Microcurrent stimulation can be generated by a very low and relatively long period current. The specification of

{3}------------------------------------------------

K120054

microcurrent system in MT9000 Combo TENS/EMS/IF/MIC K093138 is very similar to that of Ultima NEO MIC system.

    1. The marketed device GM3 Series IF TENS Model GM3X2IF (K032719) is an interferential stimulator which generates the real-sine waves of electrical current. The specification of GM3X2IF (K032719) is very similar to that of Ultima NEO IF system.
    1. The new device Ultima NEO is designed and combined the Interferential (IF) and Microcurrent (MIC) systems based on the design of EasyMed EMS/TENS Model NMS-28 (K050921). The introduction of marketed device GM3 Series IF TENS Model GM3X2IF (K032719) and MT9000 Combo TENS/EMS/IF/MIC (K093138) are for the purpose of comparison of the feature of Microcurrent (MIC) and Interferential (IF).
    1. The new device Ultima NEO is of the same ranges of parameters as those of marketed devices.
    1. The software of the new device Ultima NEO can be divided into four parts: the first for TENS system, the second for EMS system, the third for MIC system, and the four one for IF system. First of all, the part of software for TENS system of the new device Ultima NEO is only a subset of that of the marketed device EasyMed EMS/TENS Model NMS-28 (K050921). Secondly, the considerations on safety, effectiveness and reliability in NMS-28 (K050921) are also introduced into the EMS system of the new device; While the part of software for EMS system of the new device Ultima NEO is almost the same as that of the marketed device EasyMed EMS/TENS Model NMS-28 (K050921), by applying almost the same control methods for muscle contraction-relaxation. In other word, the TENS and EMS systems of the new device Ultima NEO are almost the same as those of the marketed device NMS-28 (K050921). Thirdly, the part of software for Microcurrent (MIC) system of the new device Ultima NEO is very similar to that of the marketed device MT9000 Combo TENS/EMS/IF/MIC (K093138). For the last, the part of software for Interferential (IF) system of the new device Ultima NEO is very similar to that of the marketed device GM3 Series IF TENS Model GM3X2IF (K032719)
  1. Both the new device Ultima NEO and the marketed devices

{4}------------------------------------------------

NMS-28 (K050921)/ GM3 Series IF TENS Model GM3X2IF (K032719)/ MT9000 Combo TENS/EMS/IF/MIC (K093138) are passed the same tests of applicable recognized international consensus standards.

    1. The accessories of the new device Ultima NEO are similar to those of the marketed devices.
      Labeling Comparison: The Labelling is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices.
