The MStim Drop LGT-233 is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion in individuals who have a dropped foot as a consequence of upper motor neuron injury. The device electrically stimulates muscles in the affected leg to provide ankle dorsiflexion of the foot and/or knee flexion or extension; thus, it also may improve the individual's gait. The MStim Drop LGT-233 may also:
·Prevent/retard disuse atrophy
· Maintain or increase joint range of motion
•Increase local blood flow
The MStim Drop LGT 233 is a wearable foot drop device, which is mainly consist s of stimulator main unit, electrode lead wire, electrodes pad, leg bandage and battery charger. The stimulator main unit can be charge by the battery charger.
The device can control the out stimulation and treatment time setting by APP application provided by the manufacturer, and it can trigger and control the pulse stimulation on and off by detecting the swing phase of gait during walking. The device was design to use FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) to treat and improve the patient s foot drop and help to improve walking ability. It has two modes: Training mode, Walk mode. Training mode is suitable for muscle training when the patient is seated or lying down (patient lacking active training), which can promote muscle recover, prevent muscle atrophy, improve joint range of motion, and increase local blood flow. Walk mode is walking with the electrical stimulation.
The MStim Drop Model: LGT-233 is an external functional neuromuscular stimulator intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion in individuals with dropped foot due to upper motor neuron injury. It electrically stimulates muscles to improve gait and may also prevent/retard disuse atrophy, maintain or increase joint range of motion, and increase local blood flow.

Comparison in Detail(s):
Note 1 (Power Source(s) and Method of Line Current Isolation):
The power source is only energy source for the operation of the device, it do not affect the output of the micro current. And the device complies with IEC 60601-1 requirements for evaluation of safety. So such minor difference do not raise safety and effectiveness issue.
For display method, even there is minor difference on display design. However it is only for status and setting interface display, and the display APP function and interface had been evaluated in software
{13}------------------------------------------------
validation; So such minor difference do not raise safety and effectiveness issue.
Note 2 (Timer Range ):
The design of the timer range is based on the intended use. For MStim Drop Model: LGT-233, the operating time is adjustable by operator according to physician direction. So the timer setting range difference would not impact its safety and effectiveness, comparing predicate devices.
Note 3 (Maximum Output Voltage and Maximum Output Current):
The effect of micro current stimulation is determined by micro-current output waleform and output current. There is only little difference between the output voltage and current of the subject device from the predicated devices, it can still obtain the same effect because our output voltage and output current are in the range which is similar to the value of K162407 and predicate device K 141812. Even the predicate device II have no stimulation at 10K ohm, but its output voltage at 500, 1K and 2 KOhm is similarto subject device; and the predicate device I have similar output voltage as proposed subject device,
Also, the subject device comply with IEC 60601-1, and IEC60601-2-10 for its safety verification, comparing with the predicate devices. Therefore, the minor difference would not affect safety and effectiveness of the subject.
Note 4 (Frequency and Pulse-width):
For Frequency: There is minor difference on frequency of output waveform pulse between subject device and predicate device I, but the frequency means that pulse number in a completed cycle of waveform, the frequency difference means that the pulse numbers difference which deliver to patient body per second. And the frequency of subject device is same to the one of predicate device II (K141812), so its minor difference would not impact the safety and effectiveness of subject device.
For Pulse width: The stimulation time of micro current stimulation is determined by pulse width of micro-current output waveform. Frequency and pulse is the time parameter of the waveform. There is only little difference between the pulse width of the subject device from the predicated device I, it can still obtain the same effect because output current and pulse width is similar to the value of Predicate device II (K141812). Also, the subject device complies with IEC 60601-1, and IEC60601-2- for safety evaluation. Therefore, the minor difference on pulse width would not affect its safety and effectiveness of subject device.
Note 5 (Maximum current density and Maximum power density):
The effect of micro current stimulation is determined by micro-current output pulse width and output current. Even there is only little difference between the value of current density and maximum power density of the subject device and the predicated device due to electrode pad size, but the value of current density and maximum power density of subject device are in the range which is similar to the value K162407. Even the maximum current density and the maximum power density of subject
{14}------------------------------------------------
device is less than predicate device II (K141812), but its value was covered in predicate device l(K162407).
And the maximum power density meet with the maximum allowed value 0.25 (W/cm²) required in FDA guidance. Therefore, the subject device and predicate device are substantially equivalence on these parameters.
Note 6 (On time and OFF time):
On time and OFF time are designed according to the circuit design of the device for max stimulation time. Even there is minor difference for on time and Off time between subject device and predicate device. But for MStim Drop Model: LGT-233, the operating time is adjustable so that the operator can made applicable stimulation time to apply on patient body by adjusting operation time based on physician direction. So the minor difference for On time and Off time between subject device and predicate device would not affect safety and effectiveness of subject device.
Finial Conclusion:
The subject device MStim Drop Model: LGT-233 is Substantial Equivalence to the predicate devices.
