Intended Use

To be used for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, upper extremities (arm), and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.

It is intended to be used to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance.

Device Description

The subject device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) and Powered Muscle Stimulator (PMS), intended for the over-the-counter use to temporarily relieve pain and stimulate muscle in different body areas. The double-channel subject device, which is compact, portable, and microprocessor-controlled, delivers a gentle electrical pulse through the connecting wires and electrode pads to the user's skin for pain relief and muscle stimulation. The electrode pad used consists of gel, carbon film, cloth backing, and electrode connector, which is 510(k)-cleared and biocompatible. According to the need of users, the pulse intensity can be adjustable on the front control panel of the device.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information based on the provided document. It's important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device and not a clinical study report for an AI device. Therefore, many of the requested fields related to AI, human readers, and ground truth establishment from a clinical perspective will indicate "Not Applicable" or "Not Provided," as they are not relevant to this type of submission.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance

This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than setting distinct "acceptance criteria" with specific performance metrics in the way one might for an AI diagnostic algorithm. The acceptance is based on meeting the same safety and effectiveness standards, functional characteristics, and intended use as the predicates, verified through non-clinical testing and comparison of specifications.

Study Information:

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification based on non-clinical testing for substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. It does not describe a clinical study in the traditional sense of evaluating device effectiveness on patients or evaluating an AI algorithm's performance.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to the actual subject device undergoing engineering and electrical testing, not a dataset of patient cases.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The data comes from direct measurements and engineering tests of the device itself.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of an AI device often referring to clinical diagnosis, is not established for this type of non-clinical engineering and electrical performance testing. Compliance with standards and comparison to predicate device specifications are the "ground truth."
  3. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable. Electrical and mechanical specifications are objectively measured and compared, not subject to expert adjudication.
  4. 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. This device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) and Powered Muscle Stimulator (PMS), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. No human reader involvement in performance evaluation.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Partially applicable, but in a different context. The device's electrical and mechanical performance was evaluated in isolation (standalone) during non-clinical testing. It's a hardware device, not an algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Ground Truth: Compliance with established industry electrical and safety standards (IEC 60601 series) and direct comparison to the physical and functional specifications of legally marketed predicate devices.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

{6}------------------------------------------------

8. Substantial Equivalence

The operational principle of the above predicate devices is to generate small pulses of electrical current and delivers the pulses to the user's skin through adhesive electrode pads such that the underlying nerves and/or muscles are activated.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Identically, the subject device generates small pulses of electrical current and delivers the pulses to the user's skin through adhesive electrode pads such that the underlying nerves and/or muscles are activated.

The comparison between the subject device and predicate devices demonstrates the technical characteristics, specifications, and intended use of the subject device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.

The differences, such the output voltage and current, between the subject device and the predicate devices are insignificant in terms of safety or effectiveness. The verification and validation tests, such as IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-10, further demonstrate these differences maintain the same safety and effectiveness as those of the 510(k) cleared predicate devices. In other words, these differences do not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental technology of the device. There are no new safety or effectiveness issues concerning the subject device, which offers substantially equivalent technical specifications, features, intended use, and effective results as the predicate devices.

Concerns of the safe and proper use of the electrode pads have been fully addressed by making the use conscious of the proper placement of the electrode pads and appropriate operations of the device through details in the labeling. The electrode pads cleared in K090198 are to be used with the subject device.

9. Non-Clinical Tests Performed

The subject device does not conduct, nor rely upon, clinical tests to determine substantial equivalence. Non-clinical tests were performed on the subject device in order to validate the design and to assure conformance with the following voluntary design standards in connection with medical device electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.

  • (a) IEC 60601-1 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance".
  • (b) IEC 60601-1-2 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety -Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests".
  • (c) IEC 60601-2-10 "Medical electrical equipment -- Part 2-10: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of nerve and muscle stimulators".

In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the verification of software used in the subject device has been carried out according to the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices. The biocompatible electrodes, as the accessory of the subject device, also meet the requirement of safety.

10. Conclusion

The tests performed and the comparison of technical characteristics, specifications, and intended use demonstrate the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Therefore, the subject device is as safe and effective as the foregoing identified OTC predicate devices that have been legally marketed in the United States.
