Intended Use

The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System is indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and for the temporary increase in circulation to the treated areas in good health. The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System simulates the kneading and stroking of tissues by using inflatable air channels.

Device Description

The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System Model # T16-2020 is a reusable, nonsterile therapy device intended to provide a gentle, rhythmic, soothing sensation using timed, pre-programed air pressure to inflate and deflate air channels within the therapy attachments. Each air channel inflates then deflates one at a time, to simulate the press and release action of the human hand by manipulating the soft tissues of the body relieving pain and increasing circulation. This device is a gradient, sequential, pneumatic compression device intended for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and for the temporary increase in circulation to the treated areas in people who are in good health. The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System simulates the kneading and stroking of tissues by using inflatable air channels. The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System consists of an air compressor, valve module(s) and a therapy attachment working together as one unit. The therapy attachments contain one or two valve modules that connect to the Controller Unit via a series of receptacles, tubing, and cabling. The system uses an external power supply of 12V DC. The Therapy Attachments/Cushions consist of inflatable welded pads with 8 or 16 air channels. The massage direction is distal to proximal (toward the heart). The sequential inflation cycle inflates then deflates one air channel at a time, for 3, 4 or 5 seconds allowing the user/patient to adjust the pressure. The therapy attachment/cushion works under the action of the valve module sensor and microprocessor.

Study Information

This document does not describe a clinical study comparing diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes. Instead, it relies on a series of non-clinical performance tests and comparisons to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The studies conducted are non-clinical (electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, software verification, mechanical bench testing, usability). These tests are typically performed on samples of the manufactured device and its components, not on patient data.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for non-clinical performance is established by compliance with engineering standards and design requirements, not expert consensus on medical images or diagnoses.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable as there is no diagnostic test set requiring expert adjudication.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is a physical therapy device (massager), not an AI-assisted diagnostic or assistive device for human readers.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is not an algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For the non-clinical studies conducted:
    • Electrical safety and EMC: Compliance with international standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2) defines the "ground truth."
    • Biocompatibility testing: Compliance with international standards (ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10) defines the "ground truth."
    • Shipping/Packaging Testing: Compliance with ASTM D4169-16 defines the "ground truth."
    • Software Verification and Validation Testing: Compliance with FDA guidance for software in medical devices and internal design requirements defines the "ground truth."
    • Mechanical Bench Testing: Meeting the system's Device Design Requirements defines the "ground truth."
    • Usability Testing: Meeting predefined usability requirements and adequate mitigation of usability risks, in compliance with IEC 60601-1-6, defines the "ground truth."
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. As a medical device that performs mechanical action, it doesn't involve machine learning or AI models that require training data.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The NeoWave system has been compared with the Relaxor Perfect Touch Air Massaging system (K030437). The subject device has the same intended use and principles of operation, similar technological characteristics as that of the predicate devices. Although there are a few differences in specifications, a comparison analysis was completed to demonstrate that the differences would not adverselv impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

7. Performance Data

The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System consisting of the Controller Unit and therapy attachments. The system complies with IEC 60601-1 Ed 3.1: 2005, IEC 60601-1-11: 2015 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-2: 2014 standard for EMC.

Biocompatibility testing

The Biocompatibility evaluation for the NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. The system complies with ISO 10993-5:2009 & ISO 10993-10:2010.

Shipping/Packaqing Testing

Testing was performed on the finished NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System and its finished packaging. The packaging consists of an interior box with foam where the Controller Unit is positioned and then placed inside a shipping box along with a therapy attachment as a system. The system was tested and complies with ASTM D4169-16 Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation is provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device is considered as a "moderate" level of concern since a failure or latent design flaw could indirectly result in a minor injury to the patient.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Mechanical Bench Testing

Performance verification testing was conducted based upon the systems Device Design Requirements. The system meets all device design criteria.

  • Controller Unit Assembly Performance
  • Valve Module Assembly Performance ●
  • Cable/Tubing Assembly Performance
  • . Neck/Back Cushion Assembly Performance
  • Lumbar Cushion Assembly Performance ●
  • . Life Cycle Performance

Usability Testing

A summative study was conducted by Eva Medtec and concluded the system met all predefined usability requirements and all usability risks have been adequately mitigated.

The System's Usability Engineering File was evaluated and is compliant with IEC 60601-1-6: 2010 Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-6: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard.

8. Conclusion

Based upon safety and performance testing, compliance with voluntary standards, and comparison to the predicate devices, the manufacturer believes that the NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
