miha bodytec II is a machine with electronic muscle stimulation based on EMS technology. Regarding its use, the device is specifically designed as an addition to other sports and for training muscles. It must be used for healthy muscles and clients, not be used for rehabilitation purposes.
miha bodytec II is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. miha bodytec II is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the miha bodytec II training programs are designed for injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated.
The miha bodytec II electrical impulses allow the triggering of action potentials on motoneurons of motor nerves (excitations). These excitations of motoneurons are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the motor endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration of rest, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles.
The various types of muscle work that the miha bodytec II can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The miha bodytec II may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training.
miha bodytec II is a transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) device which stimulates motor nerves by means of electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. These excitations of motor nerves are transmitted to the muscle fibers where they stimulate a muscular response. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, pulse intensity, pulse duration, pulse width, pulse rise, pause time, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles.
miha Bodytec II consists of a control unit mounted on a stand for the selection of programs, setting the parameters and starting/stopping the device, the i-body® electrode vest for applying electrodes to the upper body, i-body® straps for applying electrodes to the arm and legs and the i-body® belt for applying electrodes to the buttocks. The control unit and the i-body® accessories are connected via cables and must be worn on top of optionally available undergarment.
miha bodytec II must be used in a professional sport setting. The device must be operated by a trainer who has received a full training from the manufacturer. Before the trainer selects the accessories incl. electrodes in the correct size, applies the athlete i.e. by wearing the electrode vest and connects the straps und belt via cable to the vest and to the control unit. The trainer can choose between several training programs on the control unit for impulse familiarization, invigoration basic/advanced, muscular endurance and body relax. The intensity can be adjusted by the trainer at the UI of the control unit separately for each channel. Complete body training which addresses all muscle groups is possible with up to 10 pairs of electrodes. Each athlete receives an RFID transponder card for storing training results and individually adjusted programs. Once the training is started, the control unit generates and transmits the electrical signals to the electrodes via cable. miha bodytec II uses bipolar pulses and supplies all channels equally during all programs.

Study Details (as applicable to this type of device)
As this is a 510(k) for a powered muscle stimulator, the "study" is primarily a series of engineering, biological, and bench tests demonstrating compliance with recognized standards and substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a clinical study involving human subjects or an AI model's performance on a dataset of medical images.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Electrical Safety & EMC, Software, Usability, System Validation: These tests are typically performed on a representative number of manufactured units of the device (e.g., a few units, or internal test benches). The document doesn't specify a "sample size" in the context of a dataset of patient data, as it's not applicable. Provenance isn't relevant as it's testing the device itself.
- Biocompatibility: Testing was performed on the "skin contacting material." No specific "sample size" of patients or data is provided as it's material testing.
- Shelf Life & Dispersion Testing:
- Dispersion: "4 batches of electrodes were tested. From each batch 8 chest-electrodes (yellow), 8 lateral back-electrodes (blue), 1 upper back-electrode (green) and 1 abdomen-electrode (red) were selected." This translates to a total of (8+8+1+1) * 4 = 72 electrodes for dispersion testing.
- Shelf Life: "Altogether 72 electrodes were tested."
- Data Provenance: This is bench testing of the physical electrodes/device components. It's not human patient data, so concepts like country of origin or retrospective/prospective don't apply.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML diagnostic tool requiring human expert annotation to establish ground truth on medical images. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is objective measurements (electrical parameters, material properties, software function validated against requirements, etc.) and compliance with engineering standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This relates to human expert consensus or resolving discrepancies in diagnostic interpretations, which is not relevant for the type of testing described here.
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 is a powered muscle stimulator, not a diagnostic AI device to be used by human readers for interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. While the device does have firmware/software, its purpose is to control the muscle stimulation, not to perform an independent diagnostic analysis. The performance is assessed based on its ability to generate the specified electrical impulses safely and effectively when operated by a trained user.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not applicable in the usual sense for AI diagnostics. For this device, "ground truth" is established by:
- Reference Standards: Adherence to recognized national and international standards (IEC 60601 series, ISO 10993 series, etc.) for electrical safety, EMC, software, and biocompatibility.
- Engineering Specifications: The device's output (voltage, current, pulse width, frequency) is measured against its own design specifications and the limits set by relevant standards.
- Functional Benchmarks: Performance testing to confirm the device operates as intended (e.g., uniform current distribution in electrodes, successful completion of aging tests).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning in a way that requires a "training set" of data in the typical sense of AI/ML development for diagnostic tasks. Its firmware is validated as traditional software, not trained on data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As there is no "training set" for AI/ML, there's no ground truth established in that context.

Table 2: Output Specifications – Comparison with Predicate Device
6.3 Summary of technological characteristics:
Miha bodytec II and the predicate device have the same indications for use and similar technological characteristics and features. Both use wired connections between the control unit to the electrodes, specifically designed biocompatible undergarment, electrode connector accessories which are placed on the undergarment and not directly on the skin and slightly different output specifications, cable specifications, however, both within the limits given by IEC 60601-2-10. miha bodytec II is powered by line voltage, whereas the E-Fit 1280 is battery-driven. The power supply is located outside the control unit and was tested according to IEC 60601-1. No additional concerns regarding safety and effectiveness were raised.
None of these differences raise any new issues regarding safety or effectiveness.
Performance Testing 7
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility testing: miha bodytec II was tested according to and is in compliance with recognized standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
Software and System validation: The miha bodytec II comprises firmware which was verified and validated according to IEC 62304 and FDA's guidance: General Principles of Software Validation. Software validation demonstrated that the firmware met the software system requirements. The full system validation testing also included testing in accordance with the recommendations of FDA's "Guidance Document for Powered Muscle Stimulator 510(k)s" issued on June 9, 1999. Oscilloscope tracings were obtained of the device output waveforms under maximum supported voltage and pulse widths under loads of 500 Ω, 2 kΩ and 10 kΩ. Additional System-level tests were conducted, including electrical tests of the interfaces, thermographic inspections, tests in climate chamber, shock and vibration tests.
Usability validation: The overall system was validated to confirm that the device meets its intended use, i.e. can be used safe and effectively by the specified users within the specified use environment, taking into account human factors and usability requirements.
{16}------------------------------------------------
Biocompatibility testing: Skin contacting material was tested to ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 10993-10:2009.
Shelf life and dispersion testing:
Bench testing of the electrodes was performed to demonstrate uniform current distributions (dispersion testing). The test case was built up according to FDA's requirements.
4 batches of electrodes were tested. From each batch 8 chest-electrodes (yellow), 8 lateral backelectrodes (blue), 1 upper back-electrode (green) and 1 abdomen-electrode (red) were selected (see Annex III). The electrodes were cut out of the vest and moistened to be covered by the undergarments. 8 measure points from each chest-electrode (yellow), each lateral back-electrode (blue) and each upper back-electrode (green) as well as 5 measure points from each abdomenelectrode (red) were defined. As indicated by FDA the electrodes were measured prior to and after cleansing. After this measuring period the accelerated aging was applied and followed by another measuring period which was conducted exactly the same like the first one. All tests successfully passed.
To calculate the shelf life, we establish new testing according to ASTM F 1980-16. In a climate cabinet an accelerating aging condition for the electrodes was simulated at 60°C for 4 weeks. Through conducting a typical training current while being in the climate cabinet, a 1 year shelf life as well as a 1 year storage was tested. Altogether 72 electrodes were tested. All tests successfully passed.
