This device is intended for the relief of pain associated with sore or aching muscles of the lower back, arms, or legs due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.
SmartTENS is a portable battery powered T.E.N.S. device with a wireless remote control feature for over-the-counter use, mainly operating in home, clinic, or hospital environments.
There are three control buttons on the unit itself: ON/OFF, intensity UP and intensity DOWM. The device is also designed to be controlled wirelessly through Bluetooth 4.0 connection (Frequency: 2402.0 - 2480.0 MHz) by a matched smart phone, which is featuring a mobile application (App) developed by EasyMed Instruments Co., Ltd.
A user entered 6-digit security code ensures the access to the device can only be the user's matched smart phone, thus avoiding unauthorized controls to the device.
There are totally seven (7) modes that are intended for pain relieving treatments to the following areas: Shoulder/ Arm, Lower Back and Leg/Foot. The specifications of each mode will be described in greater details in the User Manual.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text, focusing on the SmartTENS device:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the SmartTENS in the form of specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) expected from a clinical study. Instead, it details the technical specifications and performance characteristics of the SmartTENS and compares them to predicate devices, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
The reported device performance is implicitly shown through its compliance with various electrical and medical device safety standards and a usability study.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document mentions that a "usability study was conducted," but it does not specify the sample size for this study or any other test set. The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for any test data is also not mentioned.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided in the document. The usability study would likely have involved user feedback, but the "ground truth" for a medical device's performance often relates to objective measures of efficacy or safety, which are not detailed here in terms of expert evaluation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted for this device as it is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (T.E.N.S.) which directly delivers electrical current, rather than an imaging or diagnostic AI requiring human reader interpretation. The purpose of this submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technical specifications and safety standards, not a comparative effectiveness study involving human interpretation.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
The SmartTENS is a physical medical device, not an algorithm in the context of AI. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study as typically understood for AI/software devices was not performed or is not applicable. Its performance is assessed through its output characteristics and compliance with electrical and safety standards.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
For the SmartTENS, the "ground truth" for its performance is established through:
- Compliance with recognized electrical and medical device safety standards (e.g., AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62304). This demonstrates that the device operates within established safe and effective parameters for TENS devices.
- Usability Feedback: The usability study inherently uses user experience (ease of use, safety observation) as a form of "ground truth" to determine if users can correctly and safely operate the device.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The SmartTENS is a hardware device with embedded software (for control and modes), but not an AI/machine learning model in the sense that would require a "training set" of data for learning and prediction. Therefore, a training set sample size is not applicable and not mentioned.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As there is no "training set" for an AI/machine learning model, this question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the device's design and functionality is based on established engineering principles, regulatory standards, and the performance characteristics of predicate devices.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NEW DEVICE AND PREDICATE DEVICES
The technical characteristics of SmartTENS are similar to those of the predicate devices in design, intended use and function. Like the predicate device EasyStim TN28 OTC (K140168) and WiTouch™ Pro (K120398), the SmartTENS is a device used to apply an electrical current to electrodes on a patient's skin to relieve pain. The stimulation parameters of new device EasyStim TN28 OTC are same as those of predicate device EasyStim TN28 OTC (K140168) and similar to those of WiTouch™ Pro (K120398).
The predicate device EasyStim TN28_OTC (K140168) utilizes flexible wires between the electrodes and the electical stimulus generator. However, the new device SmartTENS utilize wireless remote controls for the considerations of a more user friendly design, which is similar to WiTouch™ Pro (K120398).
The intended design of SmartTENS limits the application for use to sites of lower back, arms and legs. The design includes Thermal Plastic Elastomer (TPE) electrodes that are intended for reuse and are button-affixed to the electrical stimulus generator. The unique connection makes the electrodes integral to the generator. The connection and shape of the electrodes limit application of the device. These unique characteristics of the integral electrodes are similar to those of WiTouch™ Pro (K120398) and insignificant as it relates to safety and effectiveness, which is not critical to the intended use between the referenced predicate devices.
The predicate device EasyStim TN28 OTC (K140168) utilizes affixed buttons as the sole method to control the electrical stimulus generator. The new device SmartTENS utilizes an additional method of a wireless remote control which similar to the predicate device WiTouch™ Pro (K120398). The difference is WiTouch™ Pro (K120398) utilizes radio frequency transveiver to control the electrical stimulus generator, while the SmartTENS ultilzes Bluetooth 4.0 as the wireless connecting technology to control the electrical stimulus generator. Furthermore, the remote controller is the Mobile Medical Application that need to be installed in the smart phone. This uniqueness of controlling the electrical stimulus generator by utilizing a Bluetooth wireless connecting technology is insignificant as it relates to safety and effectiveness, and is not critical to the intended use between the device and the referenced predicate devices.
Technological characteristics, features, specifications and intended uses of the new device SmartTENS are substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices. The differences that exist between SmartTENS and predicate devices are insignificant in the terms of safety or effectiveness.

CONCLUSION:
The new device SmartTENS has the same indications for use and similar technological characteristics to the predicate device EasyStim TN28 OTC (K140168) and WiTouch™ Pro (K120398). The stimulation parameters of new device SmartTENS are all in the same range of those of predicate devices. Thus, the new device SmartTENS is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and any differences between the devices do not pose any new questions of safety and effectiveness.
