Intended Use

ELITONE is a non-implanted muscle stimulator designed to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. It applies stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues.

Device Description

The Elitone Device provides electrical muscle stimulation (commonly called EMS or E-stim) to treat stress urinary incontinence. Stimulation is delivered to the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures through a disposable cutaneous electrode applied to the perineal region. One end of the thin, flexible electrode is positioned proximate the pubis and the other end is positioned proximate the ischial tuberosity. Mildly adhesive and electrically conductive hydrogel portions of each electrode attach the electrode to the perineal tissues and allow comfortable transfer of electrical stimulation through the pelvic floor. The stimulation is controlled by a battery powered, wearable control unit. The housing of the control unit is approximately 55mm x 45mm x 10mm and made of ABS plastic. It includes two pushbuttons that allow the user to increment the voltage (i.e. intensity), and to start, pause and stop device operation. The stimulation utilizes a symmetric, amplitude modulated (2000Hz), sinusoidal waveform. The output intensity operates over a range of levels (0-35) that approximately correspond to a 0-30mA RMS current. The stimulation frequency alternates between a higher frequency portion (50Hz) and a lower frequency portion (10Hz). Higher frequency stimulation is typically used to encourage muscle contraction and strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles. Lower frequency stimulation is typically used to calm detrusor muscle activity, decreasing symptoms of urgency type incontinence. Each treatment session lasts 20 minutes, after which the device turns off automatically. Women are recommended to use the device 3-5 times per week.

Testing Summary:

The following performance testing was provided in support a substantial equivalence determination. The Elitone Device passed all testing.

Software Verification and Validation Testing The software for the device was considered to be a ● "moderate" level of concern. Verification and validation testing was completed as recommended by FDA guidance pertaining to medical device software.
. Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing – Testing was completed by external labs per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards for safety and IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

Other Performance Testing - Performance of the electrode component was assessed by measuring its impedance, its adhesiveness and its current dispersion. Comparisons were made to legally marketed EMS electrodes.
Biocompatibility Assessment – A biocompatibility evaluation was completed in accordance with the ISO 10993-1 standard. The electrode is considered tissue contacting for a duration of less than 24 hours. The materials, manufacturing processes and use application are the same as those of legally marketed electrodes. Accordingly, no new biocompatibility testing was needed to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
. Clinical Literature Evaluation – A literature review was conducted to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of perineal-applied EMS in the treatment of female urinary incontinence. Articles were reviewed to assess their relevance to the performance and safety of the Elitone device.
. Clinical Testing – Results from a 20 subject study were submitted. Subjects were with mild-moderate predominant stress incontinence who self-administered treatment with Elitone for 6-weeks. Key findings includes clinically significant improvements in incontinence episodes, pad usage and quality of life measures. There were no adverse events that resulted in injury or required medical treatment.
. Usability Testing – 15 subjects participated in a human factors / usability study to assess the device's suitability for safe over-the-counter use. Key finds included: (1) participants with diversity in age, education and familiarity with incontinence were able to self-select as appropriate users of the Elitone device based on the package label, (2) participants were able to understand the instructions for use and a qualified healthcare professional (observer) verified that they correctly self-identified as candidates based on the indications for use and contraindications, and (3) participants were able to apply treatment safely and correctly.

Risk Management Summary:

The Elitone Device has been designed according to Elidah's internal procedures with traceability between the design inputs, design outputs, verification and validation activities. The Elitone Device has been evaluated for risks according to Elidah's internal procedures based on ISO 14971. The risks associated with the Elitone Device were individually and collectively assessed, and the risk/benefit analysis was acceptable.

Conclusion:

The non-clinical data support the safety of the device, and the software verification and validation demonstrates that Elitone performs as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical literature evaluation, as well as the technological comparison to the predicate device, supports the use of transcutaneous electrical stimulation as an effective treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. The clinical study supports the effectiveness of the device and confirms the low-risk nature of EMS devices. The usability study was designed to ensure that potential users could self-identify as having stress urinary incontinence (allowing for the use of the product) while also self-identify as not having urge urinary incontinence (excluding them from use). The verbiage used in the product labeling was found to be appropriate for this kind of self-identification in a general population of women. The data included within this submission supports Elitone as a safe and OTC treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women.
