Study to Prove Acceptance Criteria:

The study proving the device meets the acceptance criteria is a non-clinical bench test study.

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as "sample size" in the traditional sense for an AI/diagnostic study. For bench tests, it typically refers to the number of devices tested. This information is not provided in the document.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data for this type of submission, as no clinical data was included. For bench tests, the data would have originated from laboratory testing of the manufactured devices. The manufacturer is Bozhou Rongjian Medical Appliance Co., Ltd. in China.

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

  • This information is not applicable/not provided. The assessment of these types of electrical stimulators primarily relies on objective physical and electrical measurements against established standards, not necessarily on expert interpretation of ambiguous data points.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • This information is not applicable/not provided. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for expert consensus in interpretive tasks (e.g., radiology reads), which is not the nature of the bench tests reported here.

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

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical data was not including in this submission."

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is evaluated through its physical and electrical characteristics according to safety and performance standards.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • The ground truth for this device's performance evaluation is established through compliance with recognized voluntary standards and objective physical and electrical measurements as defined by those standards.

Comparison in details:

Note 1:

The deviation from the amplitude, frequency and pulse width of the proposed device are different from those of the predicate device. The proposed device has less deviation than the predicate device, which means that its output is more stable. And both the proposed device and predicate device passed ANSI AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10 standards tests. Therefore, this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.

5. Non-Clinical Test Conclusion
