Intended Use
Starly pad is intended to transmit electrical current to patient skin for use with legally marketed electrical stimulation devices, i.e. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation). The Starly pad is for OTC (Over-The-Counter) or Prescription use. The Starly pad is for adults only.
Device Description
The Starly pad consists of Insulation backing layer, Adhesive layer, Conducting film, Gel layer, Protective film and Snap fastener.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The summary describes a passive electrode pad and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device itself is a pad intended to transmit electrical current from other electrical stimulation devices (TENS, EMS), which are therapeutic. The Starly pad is an accessory, not the therapeutic device itself.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the Starly pad is "intended to transmit current to patient skin for use with legally marketed electrical stimulation devices, i.e. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)." This indicates its purpose is therapeutic or stimulatory, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly lists physical components like "Insulation backing layer, Adhesive layer, Conducting film, Gel layer, Protective film and Snap fastener," indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Starly pad is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Starly pad is for transmitting electrical current to patient skin for use with electrical stimulation devices (TENS and EMS). This is a therapeutic or physical therapy application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of an electrode pad designed for external application to the skin.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and electrical properties of the pad and its interaction with the skin (biocompatibility, impedance, adhesion, current dispersion), which are relevant to its function as an electrode, not a diagnostic tool.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Starly pad does not fit this definition.

Dear Tse Adrian:

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
