Intended Use

The NeuroMetrix SENSUS device is intended for use as a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain.

Device Description

SENSUS is a one-channel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator with a single output mode. The stimulator utilizes a microprocessor running embedded software to control a high-voltage circuit that generates stimulating pulses with specific technical characteristics including waveform shape, current intensity, waveform duration and frequency. The stimulator is powered by a permanent rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that is recharged through a USB cable connected to an AC adapter. The stimulator delivers electrical stimulation to the patient through two disposable, single-patient use electrodes placed on the patient's body. The stimulator, as labeled, is for use with legally available electrodes. The electrodes should be self-adhering with an electrical connection made through a male medical snap connector and an electrode area ≥ 20 cm2. The stimulator connects to the electrodes through a patient cable consisting of two lead-wires that terminate in an insulated female medical snap connector. The stimulator has a push-button that initiates and halts stimulation. Taps to the stimulator enclosure, detected by an embedded accelerometer, control the stimulation intensity. The push button serves the dual purpose of powering up the device from a standby state and initiating and halting stimulation.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document indicates that no clinical testing was performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the NeuroMetrix SENSUS. NeuroMetrix determined that non-clinical (bench) testing was sufficient. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of patient data, nor any data provenance information from patient studies.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

As there was no clinical testing involving patient data, there was no ground truth established by experts for a test set. The "ground truth" for showing substantial equivalence relies on comparing the device's technical specifications and intended use against those of the legally marketed predicate device and relevant industry standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as no clinical test set was used.

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. The NeuroMetrix SENSUS is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive device that would involve human readers or AI assistance in interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable to the NeuroMetrix SENSUS. It is a physical medical device that delivers electrical stimulation, not a software algorithm that performs diagnostic or interpretive functions. Its performance is evaluated based on its electrical output characteristics and functionality, not an "algorithm-only" performance in a diagnostic sense.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for the submission is primarily the technical specifications and established safety/effectiveness of the predicate device (EMPI Active Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulator, K090922), combined with adherence to international voluntary standards (IEC 60601 series, IEC 62304) and FDA regulations (21 CFR 898). Essentially, the "ground truth" is that devices with similar specifications and intended use have been deemed safe and effective by regulatory bodies.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. As a TENS device, the NeuroMetrix SENSUS did not involve machine learning or AI models requiring a "training set" of data.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as no training set was used.

The primary differences between the two devices relate to the output specifications, specifically the (i) pulse waveform shape and duration, (ii) maximum output voltage and maximum output current, and (iii) pulse pattern.

  • (i) Pulse waveform shape and duration: SENSUS generates a symmetrical biphasic rectangular output current pulse while ACTIVE generates a balanced asymmetrical biphasic pulse with the initial phase approximately rectangular and a slowly decaying second phase. The SENSUS pulse duration is fixed at 100 usec per phase while the initial phase of the ACTIVE pulse duration varies with the intensity setting, and the overall duration is approximately 1000 usec. Because the physiological effectiveness of nerve stimulation is primarily dependent on charge delivered, either pulse waveform shape will be effective. Therefore this difference does not raise new types of questions of safety or effectiveness. -
  • (ii) Maximum output voltage and maximum output current: SENSUS has a higher maximum output voltage than ACTIVE (50 V for SENSUS versus 25V for ACTIVE into a 500Ω load). SENSUS also has a higher maximum output current, i.e, 100 mA as compared to 50 mA in ACTIVE (500Ω Because the SENSUS pulse duration is shorter and the charge delivered per pulse is load). titrated by the patient, the maximum charge per pulse is similar for the two devices. Therefore this difference does not raise new types of questions of safety or effectiveness.
  • (iii)Pulse pattern: SENSUS stimulates with a fixed duration pulse at a constant frequency of 80 Hz while ACTIVE stimulates with pulses that automatically cycle through a range of durations and frequencies between 2 and 125 Hz. This difference between SENSUS and ACTIVE does not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions because (i) neither device gives the patient control over frequency, (ii) both devices are using standard TENS stimulation frequencies, (ii) constant frequency stimulation is standard practice, and (iv) the clinical effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for chronic intractable pain is not dependent on the use of modulated pulse trains such as those generated by ACTIVE, and can be achieved through either constant or modulated frequency and duration.

SENSUS and the predicate device have similar types of control over stimulation intensity, with minor differences in the specific user interaction sequences. These differences do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions because in both devices the (i) stimulation intensity is under patient control such that he/she can change the intensity, stop further intensity increases, and halt stimulation

NeuroMetrix, Inc. SENSUS 510(K)

.

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

K12//84

at any time and (ii) the stimulation intensity always starts at 0 mA and increases gradually, smoothly and predictably, thereby avoiding the risk of sudden changes in intensity that may startle the patient.

In sum, SENSUS and the predicate have the same intended use and the only technological differences relate to several output specifications and aspects of intensity control. As discussed above, these differences in technological characteristics are relatively minor and do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions and do not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of the SENSUS device compared to the predicate. As a result, the SENSUS device is substantially equivalent to the predicate ACTIVE device.

GUIDANCE DOCUMENT

The FDA's "Draft Guidance for Industry and Staff: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator for Pain Relief (April 5, 2010)" addresses transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators with product code GZJ. The recommendations from the draft guidance were taken into account in preparing this 510(k) submission. NeuroMetrix believes that SENSUS complies with the special controls as outlined in the draft guidance, thereby providing additional assurance of safe and effective use of the SENSUS device.

NON-CLINICAL TESTING

Verification testing of SENSUS includes electrical, mechanical, and software tests to show that the device meets its target specifications over a range of operating and storage conditions. Validation and performance testing demonstrates that it meets user needs as reflected in the functional specification.

SENSUS conforms to the following voluntary standards:

  • . IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance 2005 (300 Ed) plus Amendments 1:2006 and 2:2007
  • . IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety -Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests (Edition 2007)
