Intended Use

The stimulation system is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion or extension in individuals with foot drop and thigh muscle weakness following an upper motor neuron injury or disease.

During gait, the stimulation system sends electric stimuli to muscles in the affected leg, initiating dorsiflexion of the foot and knee extension or flexion and may thus improve the individual's gait. The stimulation system may also prevent or retard atrophy caused by inactivity, facilitate muscle reeducation, maintain or improve the range of motion in the joints and promote local blood circulation.

Device Description

The MyGait® Stimulation System is a battery-operated two-channel stimulator and was developed exclusively for everyday use during walking in an everyday environment.

The patient wears a wireless heel switch in a special sock. If the user is not able to put sufficient weight on the affected leg, he or she can wear the heel switch on the other foot. The heel switch registers heel lift and ground contact and thus the swing and stance phase. It transmits the information to the stimulator wirelessly.

The stimulator is located in a cuff that holds the electrodes. It is easy to put on, even with only one hand. The correct placement of the electrodes is achieved by the cuff. The stimulator delivers the electrical stimulation to the common peroneal nerve. The nerve stimulates for controlled dorsiflexion of the foot during the swing phase.

The second channel can be used independently of the first channel to provide stimulation to the knee flexors or knee extensors in patients with thigh muscle weakness.

Using the wireless remote control, the patient can control and adjust the stimulator settings. When the patient sits for an extended period, the sleep mode helps save energy.

The adjustment tool enables qualified personnel to adjust the stimulation parameters to the patient's individual needs. Stimulation parameters are used to affect movements in the foot. Examples of stimulation parameters are current, pulse width and shape, frequency, stimulation timing,

The "MyGait Soft" PC software is used to manage and analyze gait analysis data and stimulation parameters. The data is loaded from the stimulator to the adjustment tool. The stimulation parameters can be restored to the stimulator from the PC.

AI/ML Overview

The Otto Bock Healthcare Products GmbH MyGait Stimulation System, referenced in K141812, did not report a clinical study on human subjects to determine device performance against acceptance criteria. Instead, substantial equivalence was established by comparing the technical characteristics and indications for use of the MyGait Stimulation System to three legally marketed predicate devices: WalkAide (K123972), Empi 300pv (K021100), and NESS L300 Plus System (K103343). The document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the new device's specifications fall within the range or are similar to those of the predicate devices, and that it complies with relevant electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.

Therefore, the following information cannot be fully provided as a traditional performance study was not conducted or reported in this 510(k) summary:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
  • Adjudication method for the test set
  • Multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study findings
  • Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) findings
  • Type of ground truth used
  • Sample size for the training set
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established

However, based on the provided document, here's a summary of the technical specifications and how they align with the substantial equivalence claim:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance

Since this is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence based on technical comparison, there isn't a direct "acceptance criteria" table from a performance study. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the ranges and characteristics of the predicate devices. The "reported device performance" are the MyGait's technical specifications.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
No clinical test set of human subjects was reported for performance evaluation against acceptance criteria. The evaluation was based on a comparison of technical specifications to predicate devices and compliance with international standards.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable, as no human subject test set requiring ground truth establishment by experts was reported.

4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable.

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. This is a functional electrical stimulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device for which MRMC studies would typically be conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. The device is a physical stimulator used on a patient. Its functionality involves direct interaction with the human body and is not an "algorithm only" device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
Not applicable. The ground truth for this submission is based on engineering specifications and compliance with recognized international safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-2).

8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as this is not a machine learning/AI device requiring a training set in that context. The device's operation is based on established electrical stimulation principles, not learned from data.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.

6.3 Substantial Equivalence Discussion

6.3.1 Discussion on basic unit characteristics

Power sources

The MyGait stimulator has one built-in Lilon battery (3.7 V, 1100mAh), the same technology as the predicate device NESS L300 Plus (3.7V, 750mAh). An external medical class II power adaptor is used to charge the battery and to isolate the user from AC line current.

Patient Leakage current

The patient leakage is <1uA in normal condition and single fault condition was successfully tested according to IEC 60601-1.

Output channels

The MyGait stimulator can be used in one-channel operation or two-channel operation as well the predicate devices Empi 300pv and NESS L300 Plus can be used. It is possible to adjust the timing parameters of both channels. So therefore, a synchronous or an alternating stimulation related to the two channels is possible.

Output characteristics

The pulse generation is controlled by a microprocessor constant current based. All of the predicate devices are microprocessor controlled. In addition, NESS L300 Plus and Empi 300pv are constant current based too.

Automatic no-load trip

The MyGait has an automatic no-load trip in contrast to the predicate devices. An automatic no-load trip takes place via impedance measuring. It is a common feature of stimulation devices which improves the usability because stimulation is only possible, if an output load is connected.

Patient override control

The Override control is controlled by an ON/OFF button like the NESS L300 Plus and the Empi 300pv devices.

{11}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/11/Picture/0 description: The image shows a document header with the Ottobock logo on the left. The header includes the text "510(k) Summary" and "MyGait® Stimulation System" in the center. On the right, it displays the "Project Report No. PD-PP00128451A-403" and "Page 9 of 13".

Indicator Display

The MyGait stimulator indicates the On/Off state and a low battery by a LED. The current level is displayed on the MyGait remote control. In principle, it is the same procedure as the NESS L300 Plus and the WalkAide offers.

Timer range

MyGait's training programme timer range is adjustable from 5 to 120 minutes in steps of 5 minutes. It is within the range of the predicate devices. The timer range goes from WalkAide's 5 to 30 minutes to Empi 300pv's 5 to 60 minutes or unlimited.

Accessories

The heel switch transmits its data wirelessly to the stimulator. Loss of communication will be detected and will trigger a failsafe mode. This technology is similar to the predicate device NESS L300 Plus.

Procedure for setting up stimulation parameters

The MyGait adjustment tool is for setting up the stimulation parameters of the My Gait stimulator. The predicate devices NESS L300 Plus and WalkAide have the same wireless principle.

Conclusion

The basic unit characteristics are equivalent to the predicate devices as can be seen in the comparison table in chapter 6.2.1.

6.3.2 Discussion on output specifications

Waveform

The waveform of the MyGait is biphasic symmetrical or biphasic asymmetrical equal to the NESS L300 Plus. Innovative Neurotronics' WalkAide and Empi Inc.'s Empi 300pv have biphasic asymmetrical pulses.

Maximum output voltage

The maximum output voltage rating of the MyGait is 45V at 500 Ohm and 120V at an output load of 2 KOhm. In general, the maximum output peak is 120 V regardless of the load. There are no parameters provided at an output load of 500 Ohm and 2 kOhm by the predicate devices. WalkAide provides a maximum output voltage of 121 V and NESS L300 Plus of 120 V. Empi has an output value of 140 V without load. Based on this information is that the maximum output voltage of the MyGait is within the range of the predicate devices at 500 Ohm and 2 kOhm.

Maximum output current

The maximum output current of the MyGait is 90 mA at 500 Ohm and 60mA at a load of 2 kOhm. WalkAide's maximum output peak current is listed with 206.8 mA at 500 Ohm. In addition, the NESS L300 Plus is listed with 90 mA at 500 Ohm and the Empi 300pv with 100 mA at a load of 2 kOhm, the NESS L300 Plus is rated at 60 mA and the Empi 300pv at 100 mA. Based on this information the conclusion is that the maximum output current of the MyGait is within the range of the WalkAide and Empi 300pv devices.

Pulse width

The MyGait has the same positive pulse range width as the predicate Empi 300v. In asymmetrical mode, the negative pulse width range of the MyGait is from 200us to 1600us. The NESS L300 Plus has a negative pulse width range from 400us to 1200us. The MyGait and the NESS L300 Plus have both a ratio of 1:4 between the positive and the negative pulse. The MyGait's positive pulse width range is from 50 us to 400us compared to the 100us to 300μs of the NESS L300 Plus. Therefore the MyGait's negative pulse range is from 200us to 1600us compared to the 400us to 1200us of the NESS L300 Plus. All of these pulse widths are similar and common stimulation parameters.

Frequency

The adjustable frequency range of the MyGait is from 10 to 80 Hz and within Empi 300pv´s range from 2 to 150 Hz. The WalkAide is selectable between 16.7, 20, 25 and 33.3 Hz and the NESS L300 Plus is selectable from 20 to 45 Hz in steps of 5 Hz. Net charge

There is no net charge. Balanced pulses are used to achieve zero net charge. This is similar to the NESS L300 Plus.

Maximum pulse charge

The maximum pulse charge at 500 Ohm load is 36 µC compared to the 41.2 µC, 24 µC and 40 µC of the predicate devices. The value is within the range of the predicate devices and therefore equivalent.

Maximum RMS current density

The maximum RMS current at 500 Ohm load is 1.51 mA/cm² compared to the 2.62 mA/cm², 0.83 mA/cm² and 6.79 mA/cm² of the predicate devices. The value is within the range of the predicate devices and therefore equivalent.

Maximum power density

The maximum power density at 500 Ohm load is 0.024 W/cm² compared to the 0.027 W/cm², 0.00536 W/cm² and 0.17 W/cm² of the predicate devices. The value is within the range of the predicate devices and therefore equivalent.

On time

The on time of the MyGait in training mode is adjustable from 1 to 4 seconds in steps of 0.1 seconds. The on time of the WalkAide is selectable from 1 to 5 seconds in steps of 1 second and the NESS L300 Plus from 4 to 20 seconds in steps of 1 second. The adjustment of the MyGait is more precisely but within the range of the compared devices.

Off time

The off time in training mode of the MyGait is adjustable from 1 to 30 seconds in steps of 1 second. The off time of the WalkAide is selectable from 1 to 10 seconds in steps of 1 second and the NESS L300 Plus from 4 to 60 seconds in steps of 1 second. The values of MyGait are within the range of the compared devices.

The output specifications are equivalent to the predicate devices as can be seen in the comparison table in chapter 6.2.2.

6.3.3 Conclusion

The MyGait Stimulation System has the same indications for use and the same principle of operation as the WalkAide from Innovative Neurotronics Inc. cleared under 510(k) no. K123972, the NESS L300 Plus System from Bioness Neuromodulation Ltd. cleared under 510(k) no. K103343 and the Empi 300pv from Empi Inc. cleared under 510(k) no. K021100.

The MyGait Stimulation System was successfully tested for electrical safety according to IEC 60601-1 "Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance", IEC 60601-1-11 "Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-11: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment", IEC 60601-2-10 "Medical electrical equipment – Part 2-10: Particular requirements for the safety of nerve and muscle stimulators" and for electromagnetic compatibility according to IEC 60601-1-2 "Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance -Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests".
