AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Electronic Pulse Stimulator Model MDTS100, which is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. The purpose of this submission is to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device (Prospera OTC TENSE Electronic Pulse Massager, Model PL029, K122744).

The document details the device's indications for use, its technical characteristics compared to the predicate, and functional and safety testing performed.

Here's an analysis of the provided information, focusing on acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative performance metric sense for clinical effectiveness. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which inherently means meeting safety and performance characteristics similar to a device already deemed safe and effective by the FDA. The comparison tables (Table 3-1 and Table 3-2) illustrate the technical characteristics of the proposed device against the predicate.

While no quantitative clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) are reported for this device, a table comparing key technical parameters and their reported values for both the proposed and predicate device is provided.

Premarket Notification 510(k) Submission-510(k) Summary

Conclusion: The data in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 indicates that the technical characteristics, features, specifications and intended use of the two devices are very similar. Both systems are designed to relief pain in the muscle areas. Outputs are almost the identical, each can produce square electronic pulses and positive-going waveform output. Both devices have selection modes to allow users to select preset programs and adjust intensity level by pressing the keypad on the main unit. Both devices are transiting pulses by the use of Electrode Pads. Technological characteristics, features, specifications, materials and intended uses of the new device are substantially equivalent to the quoted predicated device. The parameters such as waveform, frequency, pulse width, output current and voltage, although not exactly similar to this particular predicate, they do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. The differences that exist between the devices are insignificant in terms of safety and effectiveness.
