Intended Use
EMS: The Compex Sport Elite is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The work imposed on the muscles by the Compex is not suitable for rehable for rehabilitation or physiotherapy. TENS: The Compex Sport Elite TENS is intended for: · Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities · They symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis. The Compex® Sport Elite is an Over-The-Counter device to be used by adults only.
Device Description
The Compex® Sport Elite is an electrical stimulation device, which stimulates healthy muscles by means of electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. The electrical pulses generated by the Compex® Sport Elite stimulate motor nerves to stimulate a muscular response. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration of rest, and total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The Compex® Sport Elite may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and NMES (NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation) target different nerve groups of the body. TENS is specifically targets the sensory nerves, which are responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. NMES targets the muscle itself, specifically through the motor nerves. This allows the NMES machine to create a muscle contraction to recruit more muscle fibers when training; warming up or recovering. The Compex® Sport Elite system consists of these components: - 1x Stimulator - 1x Lead Wire Set - 2x Small Performance Snap Electrode package ● - 2x Large Performance Snap Electrode package - 1x Battery Charger ● These components are packaged together in a carrying case along with the user guide and a battery charger. The stimulator is a microprocessor controlled 4 channels electro-stimulator. The stimulator drives each output channel independently based upon the parameters pre-defined for a program selected by the user. The user operates the device through a User Interface (UI) consisting of a graphic LCD, keypad controls and supporting software. The User Interface is made up of different menus that allow the following functions: set up the device (Options Menu), select a desired category (Category Menu), select a preset program (Treatments' Menu), tune a selected program (Stimulation Menu), and adjust the stimulation intensities (Level Menu).

No
The description details a microprocessor-controlled electrical stimulator with pre-defined programs selected by the user. There is no mention of the device learning or adapting based on data, which are key characteristics of AI/ML. The software validation focuses on meeting design requirements and cybersecurity, not on AI/ML performance.

Yes
The device is intended for "Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles" and "symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis," which are therapeutic claims.

No

The device is described as an electrical stimulation device intended to stimulate muscles to improve performance (EMS) or for temporary pain relief (TENS). It generates electrical impulses and does not perform any diagnostic function (e.g., detecting, analyzing, or identifying a medical condition).

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a stimulator, lead wire set, electrodes, and a battery charger. While it mentions supporting software for the user interface, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for stimulating healthy muscles to improve performance (EMS) and for temporary pain relief (TENS). These are applications that involve direct interaction with the body for therapeutic or performance enhancement purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works by transmitting electrical impulses to stimulate nerves and muscles. This is a physical interaction with the body, not an in vitro (outside the living body) test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Measuring biomarkers

The Compex Sport Elite is an electrical stimulation device intended for therapeutic and performance-related applications, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

Performance Testing:

Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility: The Compex Sport Plus was tested and found to comply with the following standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

  • IEC 60601-1 for basic safety and essential performance ●
  • IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility
  • IEC 60601-1-11 for use in a home healthcare environment ●
  • IEC 60601-2-10 for performance of nerve and muscle stimulators ●

Software Verification: The device's software was verified in accordance with the requirements of FDA's guidance document: General Principles of Software Validation, January 11, 2002. The software testing demonstrated that the software meets its design requirements. DJO,LLC establish design inputs for the devices related to cybersecurity, and establish a cybersecurity vulnerability and management approach as part of the software validation and risk analysis that is required by 21 CFR 820.30(g).

Usability/Human Factors Testing: Usability/Human Factors testing was performed, which demonstrated that the established requirements for usability were met, and the device's design is appropriate for the intended users and use environment. The result of this study substantiates the acceptability of the use-related risks identified during the risk assessment activities.
