Intended Use

Jiajian® Electro-acupuncture Stimulator, Model WQ-10D1 and WQ-6F are electro-acupuncture stimulator devices, which are indicated for use in the practice of acupuncture by qualified practitioners of acupuncture as determined by the states.

Device Description

Jiajian® Electro-acupuncture Stimulator, Model WQ-10D1, is a battery powered instrument with 3 channel outputs for acupuncture needle stimulation. The predicate device is ES-130, K081943. The output frequency and intensity for stimulation are adjustable. The stimulation time can be set. The 3 channels can output stimulation simultaneously. The device is powered by DC 9V battery, Type 6F22. When the battery has insufficient voltage (

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the Wuxi Jiajian Medical Instrument Co., Ltd.'s Electro-acupuncture Stimulators (Model WQ-10D1 and WQ-6F) and its 510(k) summary for substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This submission focuses on comparing the new device's technical specifications and safety standards to those of the predicate device, not on clinical performance or specific acceptance criteria met through clinical studies with human subjects.

Therefore, many of the requested categories related to clinical study design (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set) are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission, which primarily relies on engineering performance testing and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device.

However, the document does list product specifications and safety standard compliance, which could be considered criteria for acceptance in a technical and regulatory context.

Here's the information that can be extracted from the provided text according to your request categories:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Since this is a 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence based on technical characteristics and safety standards, the "acceptance criteria" are generally that the new device's parameters and safety performance are equivalent to or within the acceptable limits established by the predicate device and relevant standards. The "reported device performance" refers to the new device's measured specifications. The tables below synthesize this information for key parameters, highlighting where differences exist and how they are addressed in the substantial equivalence discussion.
