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.
Table: Comparison of Technical Characteristics and Performance

The document concludes that the differences in output parameters (voltage, current, pulse duration, charge) between the proposed device and the predicate device "do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness." This statement effectively serves as the "acceptance criteria" for these differing parameters – that they fall within a range considered safe and effective for TENS devices when evaluated against recognized safety standards.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document focuses on non-clinical (bench) testing for substantial equivalence, not clinical studies involving human subjects with a "test set" in the context of clinical performance. Therefore, there is no mention of a human "test set" sample size or data provenance in this submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical submission. Ground truth, in a clinical context, is not established for this type of submission.

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.
