Intended Use
The Everyway Facial MENS, model: MT-200 is intended for facial stimulation and indicated for over-the-counter cosmetic use.
Device Description
The Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 is a single channel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator intended for facial stimulation by applying an electrical current to electrodes, which are attached on the user's skin. The device measures 95mm(H)x23.5mm (T). Its outer housing is made of injection molded thermoplastic resin with the output contact probes consist of chrome-plated spheres. The device is powered by a 9-Volt battery to generate microcurrent that is discharged through the two fixed smooth spherical probes. The device is operated in such a way that turn on the intensity control knob and adjust the intended intensity or turn off the device during operation through the same control knob. While device is turned on for operation, a green LED will then illuminate indicating the device is in operation condition. User then follow the instruction for use to get appropriate stimulation treatment. The two probes gently glide over the skin to deliver low-level electrical impulses to strategic location on the face as his intension. The probes of Evweyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 are designed for optimal contact with the face. The MT-200 device continually alternates the positive and negative polarity between the two output spherical probes through the internal control circuit of the device and the pulse rate set by user. The MT-200 also allows user to adjust setting output amplitude from 0 to 400 microamp for a personalized comfort level. The MT-200 device requires the use of conductive derma gel provided together with the device. With the combination of the main device parts as above mentioned, the device can be used as recommended in manual for facial stimulation and indicated for over-the-counter cosmetic use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a simple electrical stimulator with manual controls and no mention of adaptive algorithms, data processing, or learning capabilities.

No
The device is described as being for "over-the-counter cosmetic use" and "facial stimulation," with no mention of treating or diagnosing any disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a facial stimulator intended for over-the-counter cosmetic use, applying electrical current for stimulation, not for diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including an outer housing, probes, a battery, an intensity control knob, and an LED indicator. It is a physical device that delivers electrical stimulation.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator that applies electrical current to the skin for facial stimulation. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is explicitly stated as "facial stimulation and indicated for over-the-counter cosmetic use." This is a cosmetic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the electrical stimulation mechanism and its application to the skin, not the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 does not fit the definition or function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

    1. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Verification Activities Performed to Determine the Safety and Performance of the devices are as the followings:
      Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes IEC 60601-2-10, as well as IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-2 requirement. In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance.

Discussion: The Compliance to applicable voluntary standards as above mentioned indicates that the new device in this submission used the same standards as that of predicate device. Therefore; we consider that the compliance of standards included in our submission is adequate for the determination of substantial equivalence.

    1. Discussion of Clinical Test Validation Activities Performed to Determine the Effectiveness of Device are as the followings:
      No particular Clinical Test was conducted for Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200.
    1. Summary for the technology comparison.
      Basically the Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 has the similar technological characteristics with the predicate device in the product design, material, energy source type, main program mode and the main output waveform...etc. There exists some difference in the detailed output parameters (mainly in the output intensity and electrode sizes). Through the detailed calculation comparison of stimulation output energy for each operation mode(in particular the output current density and power density), we found the output level in each operation mode for our Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 and predicate device are very close and within the acceptable range. So we believe the difference in detailed output parameters does not affect the determination of substantial equivalence.

12. Conclusions

The Everyway Facial MENS, model MT-200 has the same intended use and the similar technological characteristics as the cleared devices. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device.

In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
