Device Description
CoreLevée is a non-invasive electromagnetic muscle stimulator that applies high-intensity electromagnetic field to the treatable body areas through two applicators. The coil enclosed in each applicator produces a magnetic field that induces electric currents within neuromuscular tissues. At its optimal level, these electric currents depolarize neuromuscular tissues causing effective muscle contraction.
CoreLevée consists of a Main Body, a software integrated color-touch LCD screen, two applicators, three applicator fixing belts, and a patient switch. The Main Body allows the proper operation of the entire system. The LCD screen works as a control panel and displays step-by-step guides through the entire therapy procedure. The therapeutic parameters such as treatment time, location, and stimulation frequency and intensity are easily set using the touch screen and the dial knob on the device. The micro-controller within the software continuously monitors the device system for its operation and functional normalcies. Two applicators can be used alone or together on top of clothing.
The device is a mobile standalone equipment with four wheels. The device housing protects the patient from electrical shock and mechanical injuries.

At its optimal level, these electric currents depolarize neuromuscular tissues causing effective muscle contraction.
CoreLevée consists of a Main Body, a software integrated color-touch LCD screen, two applicators, three applicator fixing belts, and a patient switch. The Main Body allows the proper operation of the entire system. The LCD screen works as a control panel and displays step-by-step guides through the entire therapy procedure. The therapeutic parameters such as treatment time, location, and stimulation frequency and intensity are easily set using the touch screen and the dial knob on the device. The micro-controller within the software continuously monitors the device system for its operation and functional normalcies. Two applicators can be used alone or together on top of clothing.
The device is a mobile standalone equipment with four wheels. The device housing protects the patient from electrical shock and mechanical injuries.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
CoreLevée is indicated to be used for:
· Improvement of abdominal tone, strengthening of the abdominal muscles, development of firmer abdomen.
· Strengthening, Toning and Firming of buttocks and thighs.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
CoreLevée has the same indications for use and similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. Both subjective device and its predicate are comprised of a main body and applicators. The main body consists of the electromagnetic field generators, computer, and the touchscreen as a control panel. Both subjective device and its predicate control the treatment parameters using the touchscreen, and the magnetic field intensity using the touchscreen and a dial knob. Both subjective device and its predicate use the same type of energy and operation and have the same pulse characteristics and therapy time. When using the applicators, both subjective device and its predicate use two outputs with comparable magnetic field intensities. They also produce similar induced current in tissues. Therefore, CoreLevee is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and the technological differences between CoreLevée and its predicate do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions.

Software verification and valuation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern since a failure of the software could result in minor injury to a patient or to a user of the device.
Performance Bench Testing
Bench tests were performed to ensure that CoreLevée performs as intended and documentation was provided. Tested parameters include the magnetic field intensity and its oscilloscopic characterization, pulse repetition and duration, and induced current in tissues was theoretically derived based on the bench test results. These results confirmed that both applicators operate within the magnetic field intensity specifications and the induced current in tissues at its maximum intensity is within the values comparable to its predicate.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
CoreLevée has the same intended use and almost identical tharacteristics to its predicate device. Any differences between the predicate device and CoreLevée, such as the system dimensions and the size of touchscreen have no significant effect on safety or effectiveness of CoreLevée. Therefore, CoreLevee is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device.
