The indications for use treat stress, urge and mixed incontinence in women and to maintain urinary continence in women may be considered reasonably consistent with the use described under 21 CFR 876.5320 in maintaining "continence" because in the conveyance of electrical stimulation to treat stress. urge and mixed incontinence in women and the mutual promotion continence by posture of the visceral organs and response to inter-abdominal pressure are concordant and do not introduce "different technological characteristics," and demonstrates with reasonable assurance based on established controls that the device is at least as safe and effective as a legally marketed device (see below). "
Device Substantial Equivalence and Safety
The primary function of the PC muscle is postural (i.e., muscle tone affects postural control - keeping the visceral organs in position [see stress incontinence below] and postural stability). Additionally, the PC muscle responds to inter abdominal (urinary) cues (e.g., start and stop).

As such:
- the applicant device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate; and 2. the information submitted to the FDA for the applicant device does not raise new questions about safety or effectiveness and demonstrates with reasonable assurance based on established controls that the device is at least as safe and effective as a legally marketed device.
7
The predicates provide safe and effective stimulation to treat stress, mixed and urge incontinence in women using pre-set and custom [programmable] settings. The custom [programmable] settings in the predicate have broad out-put capabilities and as such the Maximum Power Density for the predicates reflect this fact (i.e., for the K081480; 28 mW/cm² at a maximum frequency of 100Hz, pulse width 450uS and current of 90mA). While all the programs of the predicate are unquestionably safe and effective; the higherlevel power out-puts of the predicate custom [programmable] settings are rarely used. Indeed, the most widely used programs in the predicate are the pre-set intermediate output level programs. So, limiting the out-put levels in the applicant [OTC] device to the most widely used intermediate levels found in the pre-set programs of the predicate device(s) gives the applicant device the same technological characteristics as the predicate with commensurate efficacy, safety and reduced risk.
Vaginal Electrodes Substantial Equivalence and Safety:
The vaginally inserted electrode cited with both Applicant and Predicate devices was designed specifically for these devices. As such the electrode does not introduce "different technological characteristics" when used for treating urinary incontinence or when avoiding it.
Usability Study to Support OTC Use
Safety and efficacy of the device among racially diverse incontinent adult females unfamiliar with the device was collected demonstrating that users were able to use the device correctly (successful task completion) and in a manner that produced strong tolerable pelvic floor contractions. Both the observer and subject participants were charged with annotating possible improvements to the device itself or its labelling as well as documenting any specified or unspecified actual or potential hazard(s) concerning use, including, but not limited to the user's understanding of the device from the packaging, the user's comprehension of the instructions, the user's selection of an appropriate intensity level, or cleaning and storage.
All aspects of OTC usability were positive including, but not limited to the user's operative understanding of the device, the user's comprehension of the labelling, including the packaging and instructions, the user's selection of an appropriate intensity level and storing the device after completion of treatment. No adverse events were observed nor were potentially hazardous situations observed or prognosticated when the participants followed the provided labelling on an OTC basis.
Conclusion
- . The applicant device is substantially equivalent to the predicate because it has the same intended use as the predicate:
- The applicant device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate;
- . The labelling of the applicant device is concordant with the predicate and FDA compliant and
- . The information submitted to the FDA for the applicant device does not raise new questions about safety or effectiveness and demonstrates with reasonable assurance based on established controls that the device is at least as safe and effective as a legally marketed device.

- . The results of the Usability Study demonstrate the device can be used by a layperson without medical professional oversight on an OTC basis for the rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles to treat stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence in women and to maintain urinary continence in women.
The YARLAP device meets the FDA's definition of Substantial Equivalency under the relationships cited above (21 U.S.C. §§ 360(n), 360c(f)(1) & 360c(i); 21 CFR 807.92(a)(3) and the indications suggest, when obtained over-the-counter and used by a layperson without oversight by a healthcare practitioner in a non-clinical environment, the applicant device can be used correctly, safely and in a manor that produces strong tolerable pelvic floor muscle contractions appropriate for the user's condition to treat stress, urge or mixed incontinence in women and/or to maintain urinary continence in women.
