Reference Devices Summary:
Reference device K090198:
-
The material of electrode pad in contact with patient is identical to that material cleared under K090198 JIAJIAN self-adhensive electrode, the subject device's biocompatibility of material contacted with patient was evaluated under K090198. Therefore, we chose K090198 as reference device to demonstrate biocompatibility safety.
Reference device K940954: -
Similar to the subject device, Synaptic 3000 (cleared under K940954) in the market, which is also indicated for pain relief. The frequency band of the Synaptic 3000 is 250HZ
60KHZ of which 250Hz1KHz is named as the TENS frequency band. The subject device's frequency band is within the Synaptic 3000's frequency band. All our TENS programs are within or very close to the conventional TENS band plus the high frequency TENS band in Synaptic 3000.
Review of Differences
Frequency range
Like many high frequency TENS comparable devices in the market, high frequency pulses from the RelieforMe TENS/EMS Device Model UPK-GE01 are used in bursts outputted with lower frequencies similar to the conventional TENS' frequencies. This way is equivalent to TENS with the wider pulse (burst in high frequency TENS case). The advantages of high frequency TENS include more comfortable sensation, deeper penetration to relieve deeper pain, and using less current or power. One of the TENS programs for the RelieforMe TENS/EMS Device Model UPK-GE01 uses the high TENS band in the same way that is equivalent to use a wider pulse (burst in our case) with conventional TENS frequency. This difference doesn't raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Pulses per burst
The burst of subject device contains more pulses than the predicate devices due to the higher frequency used. Higher frequency normally can penetrate deeper into the body to have better stimulation on the nerve trunk
{11}------------------------------------------------
to relieve deeper pain. The pain relief treatment is as safe and effective as the predicate device. This difference doesn't raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Pulses per second
The subject device has more bursts per second than Predicate Device III to eliminate the potential stimulation resistance better due to the body may be used to fewer bursts. But the efficacy and safety are maintained. The way this burst TENS program is used is equivalent to the use of a wider pulse (burst in the case of the subject device) with conventional TENS frequency. The pain relief treatment is as safe and effective as the predicate device 3. This difference doesn't raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Burst duration
The subject device has lower burstion than Predicate Device III due to the higher frequencies used. It results in the similar energy applied. The way this burst TENS program is used is equivalent to the use of a wider pulse (burst in the case of the subject device) with conventional TENS frequency. The pain relief treatment is as safe and effective as the predicate device 3. This difference doesn't raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Duty Cycle
The duty cycles of the subject device are higher than those of the predicate devices due to the higher frequency pulse used. However, the subject device uses lower burst duration than the predicate device III. Therefore, the conclusion is the same as Note 5. This difference doesn't raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
The RelieforMe TENS/EMS Device model UPK-GE01 has the same intended use and the same or similar technological characteristics and functionality as the predicate devices, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The minor differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices.
Maximum Phase Charge
The reason that the subject device's phase charge is higher than the predicate is because the allowed voltage is higher than predicate device's at 500. However, the subject device's still in the safety range. In addition, the negative phase charge and the positive phase charge are always balanced out. Therefore, the difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices.
Phase Duration
The difference in phase duration between the subject device and the predicate device may or may not have different sensation to different people. It will not impact the safety and efficacy. The phase difference is due to difference in pulse ramp and ramp down time in the circuitry. Like many predicate devices, the subject device uses pulse with 0 ramp up and ramp down time. So the phase duration of the subject device is greater than the predicate device with nonzero ramp up and ramp down time, but the difference is not significant to have significant sensation. Therefore, the difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices.
{12}------------------------------------------------
