AI/ML Overview

Based on the provided text, the device in question is the "Well-Life TENS/EMS/Heating Stimulator (Model: WL-2405K+)". This document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving a device meets specific clinical acceptance criteria through a clinical study with detailed performance metrics.

Therefore, much of the information typically requested for demonstrating device performance against acceptance criteria in a clinical study (like sample size for test sets, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details) is not applicable or not provided in this type of submission. This summary primarily relies on non-clinical testing (bench testing, usability, biocompatibility, electrical safety, shelf life, software validation) and direct comparison to predicate devices, asserting equivalence in safety and effectiveness.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is not present:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implied by the standards the device claims to meet and the performance benchmarks of the predicate devices. However, explicit numerical acceptance criteria and direct performance results are primarily presented for non-clinical tests rather than clinical outcomes.

Criteria Category / ParameterAcceptance Criteria (Implied/Standard)Reported Device Performance (as stated in Non-Clinical Testing Summary or Comparison)

Maximum Power Density (W/cm² @ 500Ω)Compared to predicatesTENS Mode: 0.0027; EMS Mode: 0.0023 (Primary predicate: 0.0046; Secondary predicate: TENS: 0.0081, EMS: 0.0038). Deemed substantially equivalent based on safety and effectiveness.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable. No clinical test set data is provided or mentioned as being used for substantial equivalence. The "test sets" mentioned refer to non-clinical bench testing.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable for clinical data. For non-clinical tests, tests were conducted at an "accredited test laboratory" (location not specified beyond Taiwan for the manufacturer).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • Not applicable. No external "experts" were used to establish ground truth as no clinical test set requiring human interpretation for ground truth was performed or presented. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is based on the specifications of the standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, ASTM).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. No clinical test set involved human readers or ground truth requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No. The document explicitly states: "No clinical test data was used to support substantial equivalence." (Page 10, Section 9.1). Therefore, no MRMC study was performed.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical stimulator, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is related to its electrical and heating outputs and physical characteristics.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For Non-Clinical Tests: The "ground truth" is established by adherence to recognized voluntary consensus standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-10, ISO 10993 series, ASTM F1980-16, FDA guidances for software and shelf life). These standards define the acceptable range or performance for various parameters.
  • For Substantial Equivalence: The primary "ground truth" is the performance and indications of the legally marketed predicate devices. The claim is that the subject device is similar enough in terms of safety and effectiveness.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set for an algorithm.

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

  • Not applicable. As above, no training set for an algorithm.

Summary of the Study:

The "study" that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria is primarily a non-clinical evaluation documented in the "Non-Clinical Testing Summary" (Section 9) and a comparison to predicate devices for substantial equivalence (Section 10). The manufacturer performed:

  • Usability Testing: To meet IEC/EN 60601-1-6 and IEC/EN 62366 standards.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Covering cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation, in compliance with ISO 10993 standards. It leverages the fact that the electrode is identical to one cleared in a predicate device.
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety Testing: To meet IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, and ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1 standards, and Li-ion battery safety.
  • Performance Testing: To meet the IEC 60601-2-10 standard for nerve and muscle stimulators.
  • Shelf Life Testing: Following FDA guidance and ASTM F1980-16.
  • Software Validation: Following FDA guidance on software for medical devices.

The entire submission is geared towards demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices (HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator K203574 and Otc combo tens/ems system K172809) based on these non-clinical tests and a detailed comparison of technical specifications, rather than new clinical trials with patient outcomes. The premise of a 510(k) is that if a new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, it does not require a new PMA (Premarket Approval) process which typically involves extensive clinical data.
