- Localized increase in blood flow
- Increase range of motion of contracted joints using heat and stretch techniques
The SONOMED apparatus is ultrasound equipment for therapy, which has been developed in accordance with the safety standards IEC 60601-2 and IEC 60601-2 and IEC 60601-2-5, class II, type BF, which makes it a safe apparatus of high reliability for the therapist and the patient.
SONOMED is medical electric equipment which provides therapeutic ultrasound treatment. Ultrasound is a mechanic stimulus directed to the body through ultrasonic beam emitted by a transducer/applicator, better known as head. This ultrasound is produced in the head through a piezoelectric crystal and is transmitted to the body through the aluminum surface of the head and a contact agent (gel). Depending on how the ultrasound beam passes through the tissues, its energy is gradually and selectively absorbed being transformed into heat, among other effects. This increase in temperature causes biological changes in the tissues as for instance increase in micro circulation, a reduced perception of pain, a reduction in inflammatory activity and an increase in the reestablishing rate of delicate tissues. The higher the ultrasound frequency, the more superficial will be its absorption.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device (Sonomed IV / Sonomed V), which establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not describe an acceptance criteria study in the typical sense of evaluating the performance of an AI/ML device against specific metrics. Instead, it focuses on comparing the new device's characteristics to a legally marketed predicate device to demonstrate that it is equally safe and effective.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission. This document describes a comparison of product specifications and adherence to general safety standards.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted or inferred based on the provided text, and what is explicitly stated as not applicable:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document doesn't define explicit "acceptance criteria" for a study in the context of AI/ML performance. Instead, it compares the technical specifications and indications for use of the subject device (Sonomed IV / Sonomed V) with a predicate device (Sonopulse, K130888). The acceptance, in this regulatory context, is that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Subject Device Description
The SONOMED apparatus is ultrasound equipment for therapy, which has been developed in accordance with the safety standards IEC 60601-2 and IEC 60601-2 and IEC 60601-2-5, class II, type BF, which makes it a safe apparatus of high reliability for the therapist and the patient.
SONOMED is medical electric equipment which provides therapeutic ultrasound treatment. Ultrasound is a mechanic stimulus directed to the body through ultrasonic beam emitted by a transducer/applicator, better known as head. This ultrasound is produced in the head through a piezoelectric crystal and is transmitted to the body through the aluminum surface of the head and a contact agent (gel). Depending on how the ultrasound beam passes through the tissues, its energy is gradually and selectively absorbed being transformed into heat, among other effects. This increase in temperature causes biological changes in the tissues as for instance increase in micro circulation, a reduced perception of pain, a reduction in inflammatory activity and an increase in the reestablishing rate of delicate tissues. The higher the ultrasound frequency, the more superficial will be its absorption.

Discussion:
The subject device and the predicate device have similar intended use, principles of operation, and output characteristics. Of note:
- -Treatment time: the predicate has a higher treatment time, if the practitioner needs more than 20 minutes the treatment could be restarted.
- -Piezoelectric Material: They have the same Zirconia ceramic piezoelectric family.
- -Maximum Value of the Output Power: The output power of the predicate is higher, as the ERA is larger, the output density power is equal.
- -Penetration depth: The subject device and the sonopulse has the same penetration depth
Non-Clinical Performance Data:
The Sonomed was tested in accordance with these standards:
- IEC 60601-1 - Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance
