Compliance:"Hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that the device will perform as intended in the specified use conditions."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size for Test Set: The document explicitly states "no clinical testing was required." The performance data section refers to "Output characteristic measurement of new device" and "Control of system testing." These are non-clinical tests. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the sense of a patient cohort. The "sample" for these tests would be the devices themselves. The number of devices tested is not specified but would typically imply a representative number from manufacturing.
  • Data Provenance: The testing is "non-clinical data," implying laboratory or bench testing performed by HASOMED GmbH ("proprietary testing protocol conducted by Hasomed GmbH"). The country of origin for the company is Germany.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

This information is not applicable as no clinical ground truth was established for a patient test set, because "no clinical testing was required." The basis for the device's substantial equivalence is its technical characteristics and its similarity to predicate devices, supported by non-clinical verification and validation.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication for ground truth was used.

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:

Not applicable. This device is an External Functional Neuromuscular Stimulator, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging device that would typically undergo an MRMC study with human readers. The document states "no clinical testing was required."

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

The device itself is a "stand-alone device" meaning it can function on its own or in combination with exercise equipment. The performance data section describes "Output characteristic measurement of new device" and "Control of system testing" which are standalone performance assessments, but this is for the hardware and software of the device itself, not an algorithm separated from a human operator in a diagnostic context. The device is intended to be used "under the supervision of a clinician," indicating a human-in-the-loop for its clinical application.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

No clinical "ground truth" was used for human-patient data because no clinical testing was required. The "ground truth" for the device's technical performance was its design specifications and the technical characteristics of the predicate devices. The safety and effectiveness were supported by:

  • Extensive historical use of the single stimulator device RehaStim 2.
  • Ongoing use of predicate devices (RehaStim 2 / ErigoPro (FES) and RehaStim 2 / RehaMove 2) in combination with movement exercisers.
  • Hardware and software verification and validation against specifications.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. The document does not describe the use of machine learning or AI models that would require a "training set." The device is a traditional medical device (neuromuscular stimulator), not an AI/ML algorithm-based device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set or machine learning.

Table 1 Technological similarities and differences

The difference is in the control philosophy of the device combinations: In RehaStim 2 / RehaMove 2 the complete stimulation know-how is in the controller of the stimulation device RehaStim 2. In ErigoPro (FES) some of the stimulation control is implemented in the Erigo control. In the new device, stimulation control is completely implemented in the stimulation device and an interface is used for input of motion data into the stimulator. The stimulation is performed according to the motion data. The motion data are delivered via a serial interface (USB, FTDI) as percentage of full gait cycle at a rate of about 10 ms from the exerciser to the stimulator. A proprietary protocol is used. Based on this gait information, stimulation is activated at pre-defined values to the muscles needed according to the actual phase of gait. A proprietary testing protocol conducted by Hasomed GmbH is being used for validation and verification of RehaStim 2 for use with an exercise equipment. Hasomed will conduct risk hazard analysis to determine if additional testing (e.g. electrical safety, EMC, verification and validation) is necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness when using the RehaStim 2 with an exercise equipment.

{10}------------------------------------------------

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The RehaStim 2 (2016) and both predicate devices (ErigoPro (FES) and RehaStim 2 / RehaMove 2) have the same intended use and the same output characteristics. The different technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

The safety and effectiveness of the single stimulator device RehaStim 2 is extensively demonstrated by using the device for many years.

The safety and effectiveness of combining the electrostimulation device RehaStim 2 with movement exercisers or with devices for early functional mobilization of bedridden patients have been extensively demonstrated by the ongoing use of the predicate devices RehaStim 2 / ErigoPro (FES) and RehaStim 2 / RehaMove 2, respectively.

The safety and effectiveness of the controller has been demonstrated over the development period of the RehaStim 2 (2016). For combining the device with exercise equipment for walking and cycling applications, clear assessment instructions for verification and validation ensure, that no new questions of safety and effectiveness can be introduced by the combination of the products.

It can be matched that there is a substantial equivalence in all important technical and medical characteristics to the predicate devices.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

{11}------------------------------------------------

510(k) RehaStim 2 (2016)

Since the intended use of the predicate devices is the same and the therapeutic parameters did not change, no clinical testing was required. The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that the device will perform as intended in the specified use conditions. Hasomed concludes that the device performs comparably to the predicate devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use.
