Intended Use

ZMI Self-adhesive electrodes are intended for use as a reusable, conductive interface between the patient's skin and the marketed electrical stimulators (i.e. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation), IF (Interferential) or PGF (Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation) for transmitting electrical current. The electrodes are for OTC (Over-The-Counter) or Prescription use.

Device Description

ZMI Self-adhesive electrodes provide a means for establishing electrical contact between the lead connected to a TENS, EMS or NMES stimulation device and the skin, and are multi-layer, reusable, flexible structures composed of laminated materials commonly used in the application:

Top laver: Insulation material: Fabric/foam/tan fabric
Middle layer: Conductive film (Silver coated Carbon film/Aluminum foil film)
Bottom layer: Biocompatible self-adhesive conductive hydrogel
Connection: Leadwire/snap button/magnetic button

The electrodes are designed for single-patient & multiple application use. Because of the adhesive nature of the biocompatible conductive hydrogel, no securing materials are required to secure the device to the patient's skin.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document, a 510(k) Premarket Notification for ZMI Self-Adhesive Electrodes (K180865), is a regulatory submission to the FDA. It does not describe studies proving a device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML medical device. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices for a physical medical electrode.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, ground truth, training set details) as it is not present in the document. The document focuses on material composition, intended use, and physical/electrical performance tests relevant to an electrode, not on studies involving AI/ML algorithms, image analysis, or human reader performance.

Performance

ZMI self-adhesive electrodes are composed of insulation fabric, conductive carbon film, and conductive hydrogel. Electrical performance was evaluated by measuring the AC impedance and current dispersion across the surface of the electrodes. Adhesive performance was evaluated by performing a repeated skin adhesion test. Electrode stability was evaluated by assessing electrical performance under normal use conditions. The electrode material should be reliable to resist physical and chemical breakdown as a result of conducting electrical current. To assess this, ZMI self-adhesive electrodes were tested to ensure they fulfilled the specifications after a period of the conventional use. No shelf-life testing was conducted. As the storage conditions could affect the shelf-life, it is recommended to always keep electrodes cool and to avoid exposure of the surface to heat and humidity. The electrical properties of the connectors were evaluated by measuring the resistance of the connection retention retention force.

The subject device has a magnetic button for electrical connection, which differs from the two predicate devices. The conventional method of electrical connection of adhesive electrodes is to use either a snap button or lead wire to provide physical contact with the source of stimulation current via the spring tension or the friction between male and female connectors. The magnetic button applies similar concepts, providing physical contact with the source of stimulation current via magnetic force among male and female connectors. The new technological characteristic of the subject device with the magnetic button is identical to the legally marketed device under K172876.

Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility evaluation for ZMI self-adhesive electrodes was done according FDA Good Manufacturing Practice & ISO 10993-1. The following tests were identified and done:

  • . Cytotoxicity
  • Irritation
  • . Sensitization

Clinical

No clinical tests were needed.

Conclusion

Verification testing of the ZMI self-adhesive electrical and mechanical tests to show that it meets its target specifications over a range of operating and storage conditions. Verification and performance testing further demonstrated that it meets user needs as reflected in the functional specification.

The submitted ZMI self-adhesive electrodes have intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Moreover, information contained in the submission supplied demonstrates that any differences in their characteristics do not raise new concerns of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the submitted adhesive electrodes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
