InTone is intended to provide electrical stimulation and/or visual biofeedback (via manometry) for the treatment of female urinary incontinence.
The InTone device includes three parts: an Insertion Unit, a Control Unit, and a Software Application for clinicians.
- The Insertion Unit includes an inflation pump and an inflatable probe. The inflatable probe is inserted into the vagina and the inflation pump is used by the patient to manually inflate the probe, ensuring a customized fit. Electrical stimulation is delivered via stainless steel electrodes on the inflatable probe to induce a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Biofeedback is monitored via a pressure sensor within the Insertion Unit which records changes in pressure related to volitional muscle contraction.
- The Control Unit includes user keys to initiate and control treatment sessions, and a visual biofeedback graph to encourage muscle re-training. The Control Unit is designed to record and store results of the electrical stimulation and biofeedback sessions for clinician review at follow-up visits.
- The Software Application is utilized by the clinician to program the Control Unit and display the results of electrical stimulation and biofeedback sessions. The Software Application allows the clinician to select and lock in the appropriate electrical stimulation level necessary to stimulate pelvic floor contraction.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the InTone device, seeking a determination of substantial equivalence to previously marketed predicate devices (InTone K110179 and InToneMV K134020). The document asserts that the new InTone device is substantially equivalent based on similarities in intended use, technology, engineering, performance, user interface, and prior testing conducted on the predicate devices.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided, focusing on what is stated and what is not:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not provide a formal table of "acceptance criteria" for the new InTone device in the sense of predefined thresholds for performance metrics. Instead, it presents a "Substantial Equivalence Comparison Table" (Table 7.3) that compares features and functions of the new InTone with its predicate devices (K110179 and K134020). The reported "performance" is implicitly demonstrated through this comparison, indicating that the new device operates similarly to or within the parameters of the predicate devices. When a feature is "Substantially equivalent" or "Identical," the impact on safety and performance is noted as "None," implying that the new device's performance is acceptable because it matches that of legally marketed devices.
Key performance-related comparisons include:
| Feature/Function | New InTone Performance (Comparison to Predicates) | Impact on Safety and Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Substantially equivalent | None |

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- No specific sample size for a "test set" for the new device is provided. The document states that "New software verification and validation, electrical safety, EMC, and biocompatibility testing did not need to be performed to demonstrate the equivalent safety and effectiveness of this new version of the InTone."
- Instead, the reliance is on testing performed on the predicate devices:
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the testing data for the predicate devices was retrospective or prospective. It only mentions that the testing was "conducted on the predicate InToneMV" and "for the predicate InTone."
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This information is not provided in the document. The document relies on engineering and biological testing and a clinical literature review for validation, not on expert-established ground truth from a test set in the conventional sense of a clinical study assessing diagnostic performance.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- This information is not applicable/not provided. The document describes technical testing (software V&V, electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility) and a literature review, not a clinical study involving adjudication of results.
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:
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done as described. The device is for electrical stimulation and biofeedback therapy for urinary incontinence, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would involve human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable in the context of diagnostic algorithms. The InTone device is a therapeutic device (electrical stimulator and biofeedback) with software, not a standalone diagnostic algorithm. The software verification and validation were performed on the predicate device's software, which was considered "moderate" level of concern.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The concept of "ground truth" as typically used in diagnostic algorithm validation is not directly applicable to this submission. The validation relies on:
- Compliance with recognized standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-1.
- Software verification and validation: Against specifications and requirements.
- Biocompatibility testing: Chemical/biological safety evaluation.
- Clinical Literature Review: Documented evidence of safety and efficacy of electrical stimulation for female urinary incontinence in published articles and a MAUDE search for adverse events. This implicitly serves as "outcomes data" at a high level, validating the therapy type rather than specific device performance metrics against a gold standard for a new study.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable/Not provided. The InTone device is not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set in this context. Its function is based on established electrical stimulation and biofeedback principles.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable/Not provided for the same reason as in point 8.

Device Summary
The InTone device includes three parts: an Insertion Unit, a Control Unit, and a Software Application for clinicians. Each of these parts are summarized below:
- The Insertion Unit includes an inflation pump and an inflatable probe. The inflatable probe is inserted into the vagina and the inflation pump is used by the patient to manually inflate the probe, ensuring a customized fit. Electrical stimulation is delivered via stainless steel electrodes on the inflatable probe to induce a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Biofeedback is monitored via a pressure sensor within the Insertion Unit which records changes in pressure related to volitional muscle contraction.
- The Control Unit includes user keys to initiate and control treatment sessions, and a visual biofeedback graph to encourage muscle re-training. The Control Unit is designed to record and store results of the electrical stimulation and biofeedback sessions for clinician review at follow-up visits.
- The Software Application is utilized by the clinician to program the Control Unit and display the results of electrical stimulation and biofeedback sessions. The Software Application allows the clinician to select and lock in the appropriate electrical stimulation level necessary to stimulate pelvic floor contraction.

Testing Summary
As a result of the similar features between the new InTone and the predicate InTone (K110179) and InToneMV (K134020), this claim of substantial equivalence references the software verification and validation, electrical safety, and EMC testing performed on the predicate InToneMV, and the biocompatibility testing performed on the predicate InTone. New software verification and validation, electrical safety, EMC, and biocompatibility testing did not need to be performed to demonstrate the equivalent safety and effectiveness of this new version of the InTone.
Software Verification and Validation Testing:
Software verification and validation testing were conducted on the predicate InToneMV and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in minor injury to the patient or operator. New software verification and validation testing did not need to be performed to demonstrate the equivalent safety and effectiveness of this new version of the InTone.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing:
Electrical safety and EMC testing was conducted on the predicate InToneMV. The device complies with the IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC. New electrical safety and EMC testing did not need to be performed to demonstrate the equivalent safety and effectiveness of this new version of the InTone.
Biocompatibility Testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the predicate InTone was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The inflatable probe on the Insertion Unit is considered tissue contacting for a duration of less than 24 hours. The biocompatibility testing included the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- . Sensitization
- . Irritation
New biocompatibility testing did not need to be performed to demonstrate the equivalent safety and effectiveness of this new version of the InTone.
Clinical Literature Review:
The clinical literature review, which is included to provide additional supporting evidence of InTone safety and effectiveness, consisted of a published article search and a MAUDE search. The published article search included documented evidence of the safety and efficacy of electrical stimulation for the treatment of female urinary incontinence. An appraisal of each article was completed as part of the search. The appraisal included an assessment of suitability of each article, a device performance assessment and a device safety assessment. The MAUDE search included reviewing risk associated with currently marketed devices classified as an "electrical muscle stimulator."

(a)
Identification. A nonimplanted electrical continence device is a device that consists of a pair of electrodes on a plug or a pessary that are connected by an electrical cable to a battery-powered pulse source. The plug or pessary is inserted into the rectum or into the vagina and used to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor to maintain urinary or fecal continence. When necessary, the plug or pessary may be removed by the user. This device excludes an AC-powered nonimplanted electrical continence device and the powered vaginal muscle stimulator for therapeutic use (§ 884.5940).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
