Intended Use

Torc Body is indicated to be used for:

  • Improvement of abdominal tone, for strengthening of the abdominal muscles, for development of firmer abdomen.
  • Strengthening, toning and firming of buttocks & thighs.
Device Description

Torc Body, the Powered Muscle Stimulator, is intended to improve tone and strengthen the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs and to firm the abdomen muscles. The modified Torc Body, as described in this submission, is an upgrade from its previous version; which includes User- Friendly GUI, Internal power supply, and a wheeled console allowing clinicians to navigate and operate the device effortlessly. We intend to market this device to clinicians, as a prescription device. For ease of use and operation for the clinicians, we have 3 modes (suggestive): CLASSIC VECTOR, POWER SEQUENCE, DYNAMIC ROTATION. The modified device generates electrical stimulation to contract the muscles rhythmically to achieve the intended use of strengthening, firming, and toning the muscles of the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the Torc Body device (K192039) primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K131291) through a comparison of technical characteristics and compliance with voluntary standards. It does not contain information about clinical studies with specific acceptance criteria related to device performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or human perception improvement.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria and clinical study design for device performance, especially those related to AI/algorithm performance and human perception, are not available in this document. The Torc Body is a "Powered Muscle Stimulator," and its performance is evaluated based on its electrical output characteristics and safety, rather than complex diagnostic or image interpretation tasks.

However, based on the provided text, I can infer the acceptance criteria by looking at the "Comparison" column in the tables, where the modified device's characteristics are judged against the predicate device. The general acceptance criterion is substantial equivalence, meaning the modified device performs as designed and its changes do not affect safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.

Here's a breakdown of the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this is a 510(k) for a powered muscle stimulator demonstrating substantial equivalence, the "acceptance criteria" are generally that the modified device's technical specifications and safety aspects are comparable to or within acceptable deviations from the predicate device, or meet relevant safety standards. The "performance" refers to these technical specifications.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document states "The following bench testing was conducted for design and performance elements deemed appropriate to demonstrate equivalence to the previously cleared Torc Body device."

  • Sample Size: Not specified. This typically refers to the number of physical units subjected to bench testing or the number of measurements taken. The document does not provide these details.
  • Data Provenance: The testing appears to be bench testing conducted by the manufacturer (Johari Digital Healthcare Ltd). No information about country of origin of data or retrospective/prospective nature is applicable as it's not a clinical study on human subjects or pre-existing datasets.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Not applicable. This device is a powered muscle stimulator, and its performance is evaluated through engineering and electrical safety bench tests against specifications and voluntary standards, not by expert interpretation of clinical data in the way a diagnostic AI would be.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. There's no "ground truth" established by experts in the context of a diagnostic decision to adjudicate. The "ground truth" here is adherence to engineering specifications and safety standards.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No. This is not a diagnostic device or a device involving human interpretation of medical cases. No MRMC study was performed.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • No. This device is a hardware muscle stimulator with software controls; it's not an algorithm intended for diagnostic interpretation to be evaluated in a standalone performance test in the typical sense of AI/ML. Its performance is inherent in its electrical output and safety characteristics.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence is:

  • Predicate Device Specifications: The technical specifications (output voltage, current, pulse width, frequency, etc.) of the legally marketed predicate device (K131291).
  • Voluntary Standards: Compliance with international safety and quality standards such as IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, IEC 62366, ISO 15233, and ISO 10993-1.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. No training set was used.
