Migraine TENS Digital Pain Reliever LT1103-P

  • The prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine in patients 18 years of age or older.
Device Description

The Migraine TENS Digital Pain Reliever is a neurostimulator that is applied to the forehead using a self-adhesive electrode positioned bilaterally over the supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis nerves. Supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis (or supratrochlear and supraorbital) nerves belong to the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1). The device uses electric impulses that are delivered to the supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis nerves to prevent and treat pain in the head area.

The Migraine TENS Digital Pain Reliever is operated by a rechargeable battery. Pressure on the single button allows selecting and starting a stimulation program, which runs automatically. And during ramping up, users could choose comfortable intensity level by pressing the button to lock up the current intensity.

The Migraine TENS Digital Pain Reliever consists of the following elements:

  • Main Device
  • Charging Station
  • Electrode Pads
  • USB cable
AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Migraine TENS Digital Pain Reliever. It describes the device and compares it to a predicate device (Cefaly® Dual) to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Based on the provided text, here's what can be extracted regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:

This device is a TENS unit for migraine relief, not an AI/imaging diagnostic device. Therefore, many of the requested criteria (like ground truth, expert consensus, MRMC studies, effect size of human improvement with AI, standalone AI performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of medical device submission.

The acceptance criteria here pertain to safety and performance equivalence with a legally marketed predicate device, rather than diagnostic accuracy or human-AI reader performance.

Here's a breakdown of the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't present a formal "acceptance criteria" table in the typical sense for AI/diagnostic devices. Instead, it demonstrates equivalence by comparing the technical specifications of the new device (Migraine TENS Digital Pain Reliever LT1103, LT1103-P) against the predicate device (Cefaly® Dual, K201895).

The "S.E. Discussion" column in the table below effectively serves as the "reported device performance" against the implicitly accepted predicate's performance.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

This is not applicable as this is a TENS device, not an AI/imaging device that would use a test set of patient images or data in that context. The "testing" here refers to engineering and safety performance testing.

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" comes from engineering tests, not patient studies.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

Not applicable. "Ground truth" in the context of diagnostic accuracy is not relevant for this device. Safety and performance are established through objective engineering tests against international standards and comparison to a predicate device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There is no concept of "adjudication" in the context of engineering and safety testing for a TENS device in this 510(k) summary.

5. 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 treatment device, not a diagnostic AI device. Human "readers" are not involved in its primary function, nor is AI assistance relevant to its therapeutic mechanism.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its physical and electrical characteristics.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

Not applicable in the AI/diagnostic sense. The reference standard or "ground truth" for this submission are:

  • International safety and performance standards (e.g., ISO 10993-1, IEC 60601 series).
  • The established safe and effective performance of the predicate device (K201895 Cefaly® Dual).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or require a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.
