SH: This function is designed to be used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains.

HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator, EM59-2

TENS: This function is designated to be used for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.

EMS: This function is designed to be used for stimulating healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance.

SH: This function is designed to be used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains.

Device Description

HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulators, EM59-1 and EM59-2, fall into the electrostimulation device category.

EM59-1 provides two basic functions, TENS and SH; EM59-2 provides three basic functions, TENS, EMS and SH:

(1) Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS)

(2) Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS)

(3) Superficial heat (SH)

Both two models feature two independent output channels and four self-adhesive electrode gel pads. They offer a wide range of functions for increasing general wellbeing, pain relief, maintaining physical fitness, relaxation, muscle revitalisation and combating tiredness. For these purpose, the user can either choose from pre-set programs or specify their own to suit the user's individual needs.

The size of the self-adhesive electrode gel pad is 45x45 mm supplied by Shaoxing DL Healthcare Co., Ltd. It is an OTC medical device cleared by FDA under K182111. On the other hand, the electrode made by PET, sponge, PCB and protect cases is designed by HIVOX BIOTEK INC.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator (EM59-1, EM59-2). This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical testing. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria and studies demonstrating device performance for an AI/ML powered device, as the device described is an electrical stimulator, not an AI/ML product.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert details, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types) because it is not present in the provided document.

Dear Ruby Lu:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

12. Similarity and Difference

Based on the comparison information in our submission, we can determine that the subject devices almost identical to the predicate devices #2 in all aspect, except it add a SH function. On the other hand, the subject devices have the same intended use and provide the same functions by the same operating principle as the predicate device #1, except the predicate device #1 includes an additional intended use for symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis. Although there are still several specifications different between the subject devices and predicate devices, the subject devices have undergone and passed a series of safety tests complied with the specific FDA-recognized consensus standards to demonstrate these differences would not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. Therefore, the differences between the subject devices and the predicate devices would not raise any problem in substantial equivalence claims.

13. Conclusion

After analyzing a series of non-clinical test results we have ensure that all of our design outputs meet the specified requirements of inputs, and also the final product meets the user needs. Thus, we can reasonably believe that the subject device, HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator (EM59-1, EM59-2), is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in safety and effectiveness.
