Intended Use
The Katalyst Training System is an Over-The-Counter device intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. It is to be used by adults only. The Katalyst Training System is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the training programs or operational parameters are designed to target injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated. The Katalyst Training System's 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.
Device Description
The Katalyst Training System is a battery powered muscle stimulator that uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology to stimulate your muscles and help to improve muscle performance. Specifically, it uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to stimulate motor nerves, creating a muscle contraction to recruit more muscle fibers while training. It is designed to be used with the Katalyst Application, which is the interface between the user and the Impulse Pack and runs on a user supplied iOS device communicates wirelessly with the Impulse Pack using Bluetooth 4.2.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on standard electrical muscle stimulation technology.

No.
The "Intended Use" section explicitly states that the device "is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind" and its use on "injured or ailing muscles is contraindicated." Its purpose is to stimulate healthy muscles for performance improvement, not for therapeutic purposes.

No
The device's intended use is to stimulate healthy muscles to improve performance, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases. It explicitly states it is "not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "battery powered muscle stimulator" and includes testing for hardware components like the battery and electrical safety, indicating it is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for stimulating healthy muscles to improve or facilitate muscle performance. This is a therapeutic or performance-enhancing use, not a diagnostic one.
  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Katalyst Training System does not interact with or analyze any biological specimens.
  • Device Description: The device description details its function as a muscle stimulator using electrical impulses to cause muscle contractions. This aligns with a physical therapy or fitness device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Information: The document does not mention any capability of the device to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on safety, electrical compatibility, software validation, and equivalence to a predicate muscle stimulator. There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy or performance.

In summary, the Katalyst Training System is a muscle stimulator intended for improving muscle performance, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Dear Bjoern Woltermann:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
