Device Description
The Alpha Control Liner System is an interface solution designed to provide the Complete Control System Gen2 with amputee muscle contraction signals needed for the pattern recognition algorithms. The Alpha Control System integrates electronics into a fabric covered elastomeric prosthetic liner to non-invasively detect muscle contractions and convert the signals into a digital format. The Alpha Control System is a substitute for the EMG Interface Cable currently provided with the Complete Control System Gen2. Patients can achieve control of their devices and benefit from quick donning and doffing of the prosthesis. The Alpha Control System simplifies electrode placement and allows a prosthetist to spend less time fabricating the prosthesis as well as adjusting system settings and configurations. The Alpha Control System is used in conjunction with the Coapt Complete Control System Gen2 and does not require an additional battery. The Alpha Control System contains the following components. - Alpha Control Liner (gel-lined user interface) - Alpha Control Module (re-packaged Complete CO-AMP consolidated EMG amplifier, Covered under 510(k) number K162891) - Module Cap (secures the Module inside the Liner) - Alpha Control Lock (socket suspension and connection to Complete Controller) - Electrodes (Covered under 510(k) number K190416) - Fabrication aids for the Lock
More Information

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the system provides muscle contraction signals needed for "pattern recognition algorithms," which are a common component of machine learning systems used in myoelectric control.

No

Explanation: The Alpha Control Liner System is described as an interface solution that detects muscle contractions and converts signals into a digital format for controlling prosthetic devices. It does not directly provide therapy or treatment for a medical condition. Its function is to facilitate the control of a prosthetic, making it an accessory to a prosthetic device rather than a therapeutic device itself.

No

The device is an interface solution for prosthetic fittings, designed to convert muscle contraction signals into a digital format for controlling a prosthetic limb. It is not used for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a liner, module, module cap, lock, and electrodes.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "exoprosthetic fittings of the upper limbs." This clearly indicates a device used externally on the body for prosthetic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that detects muscle contractions and converts them into digital signals for controlling a prosthetic limb. This is a biomechanical and control system, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition. The device's function is to facilitate the control of a prosthetic device based on muscle signals.

Therefore, the Alpha Control Liner System falls under the category of a medical device used for prosthetic control, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The provided input text does not contain any language indicating that the FDA has reviewed, approved, or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Alpha Control Liner System is to be used exclusively for exoprosthetic fittings of the upper limbs.

The design of the Alpha Control Liner System is similar to the predicate currently on the market. The Alpha Control Liner System is a substitute for one of the components of the predicate device and therefore is intended to work in conjunction with the predicate device. Together, they can be used for external prosthetic fittings of the upper limbs and are suitable for unilateral and bilateral amputations. The subject and predicate device also share the same conditions for use and must only be used for normal daily activities, as listed in the labeling.

The Alpha Control Liner System and the listed predicate device are classified as product code: GXY, cutaneous electrodes under 21 CFR 882.1320.

The Alpha Control Liner System contains hardware that is functionally equivalent to the predicate device. Both devices contain electronics that use various algorithms to process surface electromyography signals into a digital signal that can be used by the pattern recognition algorithm to control a prosthetic limb. The Alpha Control Liner System is designed to operate with the predicate device. The Alpha Control Liner System and the predicate system are the same in that they are not provided with a power source. They are both rated to functioning at similar voltages. The predicate system can operate using a power source between 5.0-20.0VDC. The subject Alpha Control Liner System can operate using a slightly narrower voltage range, from 5.3-16.8 VDC. The slightly narrower operating voltage does not raise any concerns of safety or effectiveness, as the

Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for COAPT Complete Control. The word "COAPT" is in large, bold letters, with "CO" in orange and "APT" in gray. Below the word "COAPT" is the phrase "COMPLETE CONTROL" in smaller, gray letters. The logo is simple and modern, with a focus on the company's name.

subject device has passed electrical safety testing under IEC 60601-1, and in-house performance testing.

Another slight difference between the subject device and the predicate, Complete Control System Gen2 is the increased power consumption. The Complete Control System Gen2 uses less than half of the energy as the subject Alpha Control Liner System. This does not raise any concerns of safety and efficacy as the subject passed all required testing for electrical safety under IEC 60601-1, and inhouse performance testing.

The subject and predicate device differ slightly in their interface materials. The predicate device used an EMG Interface Cable to connect the electrodes to the controller electronics. This cable is routed on the outside of the socket by the prosthetist treating the patient. The subject Alpha Control Liner System suspends the cable pathways into a tri-block copolymer gel, fabric covered liner which is worn by the patient. This is an improvement to allow more consistent contact of the electrodes and skin within an exoprosthesis socket. This improvement is possible because the elastic properties of the elastomer and fabric allow the liner to stretch over the patient's limb and therefore have a constant pressure keeping the electrodes in contact with the skin. Since the Alpha Control Liner is worn by the patient, it must pass the signal to the socket. To best preserve the sEMG signals, the Alpha Control liner includes electronics that convert the sEMG signals to a digital signal before passing to the socket. The functions for signal amplification, filtering, and EMG (electromyography) signal transmission of the Alpha Control Liner System are based on the same design of the predicate device. This does not add or modify any existing risks as the subject device has passed all applicable safety and performance testing.

The predicate, Complete Control System Gen2 is used with passivated 316L stainless steel electrodes (K190416). This is the electrodes (K190416) embedded in the Alpha Control Liner System. The use of the same material for the electrodes for predicate and subject device do not raise any additional questions of safety, as the Alpha Control Liner System has been tested for biocompatibility to ISO 10993-1, 10993-5, and 10993-10. The predicate, Complete Control System Gen2 does not include a liner. The liner material of the Alpha Control Liner System does not raise any additional questions of safety, as the Alpha Control Liner System has been tested for biocompatibility to ISO 10993-1, 10993-5, and 10993-10.

The subject, Alpha Control Liner System is intended to be used with the Complete Control System Gen2. Therefore, the Alpha Control Liner System will use the same software tool, the Complete ControlRoom. The use of the same software tool does not raise any questions of safety and effectiveness as the Alpha Control Liner System has passed validation testing showing compatibility with the Complete Control System Gen2 and Complete ControlRoom software.

Both the subject device, Alpha Control Liner System, and predicate device, Complete Control System Gen2, underwent electrical safety testing for IEC 60601-1. Both devices received passing results. Additionally, the predicate device, Complete Control System Gen2, underwent electromagnetic compatibility testing in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2, CISPR 11, and FCC Part 15. These standards are not applicable to the subject device. Alpha Control Liner System, as it does not contain any wireless capabilities.

The predicate device, Complete Control System Gen2, does not come into contact with the user. Therefore, evaluation to the standard ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility resulted in no tests being applicable. The subject device, Alpha Control Liner, comes into contact with healthy skin of the user. Therefore, evaluation to the standard ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility resulted in testing to ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-10 for skin irritation, and ISO 10993-10 for sensitization. The Alpha Control Liner System received passing results for all three biocompatibility tests.

The subject device provides muscle contraction signals similar to the EMG Interface Cable of the predicate device. As with the predicate the subject device does not include prosthetic limbs.

8. Non-Clinical Performance Data

As part of demonstrating safety and effectiveness of the Alpha Control Liner System and in showing substantial equivalence to the predicate device that is subject to this Special 510(k) submission, Coapt LLC and WillowWood Global LLC completed a number of non-clinical performance tests. The Alpha Control Liner System meets all the requirements for overall design and electrical safety results, confirming that the design output meets the design inputs and specifications for the device.

The Alpha Control Liner System passed all the testing in accordance with internal requirements, national standards, and international standards shown below to support substantial equivalence of the subject device:

No human clinical testing was required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device. These types of devices, including the predicate device, have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device. The nonclinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device.

10. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics that can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device(s).

The technological characteristics between the Alpha Control Liner System and predicate are remarkably similar and therefore substantially equivalent. The slight differences between devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate as the Alpha Control liner System has received passing results for safety testing for electrical safety, ingress protection, and mechanical strength; passing results for performance and usability testing for cabling connection, power on and boot, inputs, and outputs; and validation testing with compatible prosthetic devices.

The Alpha Control Liner System, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.
