- Temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains.
The PlasmaFlight is a portable and rechargeable device. It is intended to be an over-the-counter portable inflatable tube massage system which simulates kneading and stroking of tissue with the hands by use of inflatable pressure cuffs. It can be used to temporarily increase blood circulation and temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and pains.
The PlasmaFlight, supplied clean and non-sterile, utilizes the pneumatically controlled air bladder cuff actuated by an electronically controlled air pump unit. All pump, battery and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case of the control unit that is permanently attached to an inflatable cuff. An ON/OFF button and LED indicators/displays provide for user interface. There is also a port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug. The cuff component consists of an air bladder encased inside a soft medical fabric or equivalent medical material for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance.
In operation, the user simply turns the power on via the ON/OFF button. A cuff containing the air bladder is permanently connected to the control unit. And the control unit then inflates the cuff to the default predetermined pressure (55 mmHg). The cuff pressure is monitored by an internal pressure switch and system software. Once the cuff pressure of the air bladder reaches the proper level, the pump is turned off for a rest period, and the cuff deflates to the ambient pressure through a valve inside the plastic case. After the rest period, the cycle of inflation and deflation repeats until the unit is turned off.
The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the device "PlasmaFlight," a portable inflatable tube massager. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through comparison of technical characteristics and compliance with voluntary standards, rather than extensive clinical efficacy studies with specific acceptance criteria and detailed performance claims.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert involvement for ground truth, and MRMC studies are not present in this document. The document's purpose is to show equivalence and safety/effectiveness via design and performance testing against standards, not to prove clinical performance against new acceptance criteria.
However, I can extract information related to the device's technical specifications and the non-clinical testing performed to establish its safety and effectiveness relative to the predicate device.
Here's an attempt to answer your questions based on the provided text, indicating "Not explicitly stated" where the information is not available in the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not present a table of specific acceptance criteria for clinical performance or a reported device performance in terms of efficacy metrics (e.g., specific percentage increase in blood circulation, or reduction in pain levels). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that the PlasmaFlight's specifications and functions are "Identical or similar" to the predicate device, thereby showing "Substantial Equivalence".
The "acceptance criteria" for this submission would implicitly be that the device's characteristics and performance, as demonstrated through non-clinical tests and comparison, do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device.
Here's a table summarizing the comparisons (which serve as the basis for "acceptance" in a substantial equivalence claim):

4. Description of Subject Device
The PlasmaFlight is a portable and rechargeable device. It is intended to be an over-the-counter portable inflatable tube massage system which simulates kneading and stroking of tissue with the hands by use of inflatable pressure cuffs. It can be used to temporarily increase blood circulation and temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and pains.
The PlasmaFlight, supplied clean and non-sterile, utilizes the pneumatically controlled air bladder cuff actuated by an electronically controlled air pump unit. All pump, battery and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case of the control unit that is permanently attached to an inflatable cuff. An ON/OFF button and LED indicators/displays provide for user interface. There is also a port for connecting the battery charger/AC adapter plug. The cuff component consists of an air bladder encased inside a soft medical fabric or equivalent medical material for increased patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance.
In operation, the user simply turns the power on via the ON/OFF button. A cuff containing the air bladder is permanently connected to the control unit. And the control unit then inflates the cuff to the default predetermined pressure (55 mmHg). The cuff pressure is monitored by an internal pressure switch and system software. Once the cuff pressure of the air bladder reaches the proper level, the pump is turned

off for a rest period, and the cuff deflates to the ambient pressure through a valve inside the plastic case. After the rest period, the cycle of inflation and deflation repeats until the unit is turned off.
5. Indications for Use
The PlasmaFlight is intended to be an over-the-counter portable inflatable tube massage system which simulates kneading and stroking of tissue with the hands by use of inflatable pressure cuffs. This device can be used to:
- Temporarily increase blood circulation in the treated areas;
- Temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains.
6. Summary of Substantial Equivalence
Identical to that of the primary predicate device, the operational principle of the subject device is to simulate kneading and stroking of tissue by using cyclic, intermittent, pneumatic pressure application (inflation followed by deflation) to compress the extremities. The primary predicate device and the subject device have the same Indications for Use, and both of them are for the Over-The-Counter use.
In addition, the subject device PlasmaFlight was originally named PlasmaFlow in the predicate/reference K160318. PlasmaFlight and PlasmaFlow are the same except the Indications for Use. Therefore, K160318 is listed as the predicate device for reference.
