Intended Use
The BACK 3 device employs RF technology or EMS technology for the treatment of selected medical conditions. The BACK 3 device in RF mode is intended to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation. The BACK 3 massage device is intended to provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. The BACK 3 device in EMS mode is intended for: *Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy *Increasing local blood circulation *Muscle re-education *Maintaining or increasing range of motion. The RF treatment mode and EMS mode should not be used in combination or sequentially.
Device Description
The BACK 3 device generates high frequency sinusoidal current with a monopolar mode of application using two electrodes. A neutral electrode is placed in contact with the patient and a handheld active electrode is manipulated by a therapist. When both electrodes are in contact with a patient the electrical circuit is closed and RF therapy can be provided. The device can be operated in a capacitive or resistive monopolar modes and a multipolar mode. The product consists of a power console, LCD monitor, and accessories including capacitive, resistive and multipolar electrodes. The unit can be adjusted to provide various levels of treatment frequency ranging from 300kHz to 1MHz. The product can also employ EMS technology. It generates a 4kHz or 1.5kHz electrostimulation signal (modulated at a frequency set between 2Hz and 200Hz). The two RF and EMS technologies should not be used in combination or sequentially. An Emergency stop button feature allows the patient to shut down the unit in the event of any discomfort.
More Information

No
The summary describes a device using RF and EMS technology with adjustable parameters, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, increased local circulation, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, muscle re-education, and maintaining or increasing range of motion. These are therapeutic applications.

No

The device description focuses on its therapeutic functions (RF technology for topical heating and EMS technology for muscle-related conditions) rather than diagnostic capabilities. There is no mention of the device being used to identify, measure, or analyze medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a power console, LCD monitor, electrodes, and the generation of RF and EMS signals, indicating it is a physical device with embedded technology, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the BACK 3 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of the BACK 3 device is for therapeutic purposes, specifically using RF and EMS technology to treat medical conditions like pain, muscle spasms, cellulite, and muscle atrophy. IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device description details the technology used (RF and EMS) and how it interacts with the patient's body through electrodes. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related terms: The document does not contain any terms commonly associated with IVD devices, such as "specimen," "assay," "reagent," "analyzer," "diagnosis," or "screening."

The BACK 3 device is clearly described as a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body for treatment, not for analyzing samples to provide diagnostic information.

A Primary predicate device (RF technology)

The BACK 3 device is substantially equivalent to the BACK3 COLOR device from SWIMS America Corp which was cleared under premarket notification K214090. Both devices are cart mounted consoles with electrode accessories capable of operation in monopolar and multipolar modes in the range of 300kHz to 1MHz radiofrequency.

Both devices operate in the same treatment range and feature intensity adjustments from 0 to 100%. Electrical safety and biocompatibility have been established for both devices. No direct comparison was made since there are no significant differences in operation and test results indicate identical safety.

> Secondary predicate device (EMS technology)

The BACK 3 device shares also the same intended use and Product codes (PBX, IPF) as the FDA-Cleared Evolve System with the T3 Applicator (K210877). Both devices are also designed to deliver electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) for the treatment of different body areas for various medical

5

applications. These devices have the same range of frequencies (Subject Device: 2-200 Hz; Secondary Predicate: 3-200 Hz).

Indeed, both devices have specifications in common:

  • A Main Line Frequency (nominal): 50-60 Hz.
  • Input Voltage (nominal): 100 240 VAC. A

Please note that the Subject device does not follow the Product code GZJ, which the secondary predicate does follow. That is why some intended uses linked to this Product Code are not found in the intended use of the Subject device: Symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain/ postsurgical acute pain.

These minor differences in technical specifications should not alter the device safety and effectiveness. Furthermore, the Subject device had underwent the required performance testing and validation testing and demonstrates its conformance with device design requirements and with applicable standards.

The safety features and compliance with safety standards of the subject device are similar to the safety features and compliance with safety standards of the predicate devices. All user-contacting materials were tested for biocompatibility and found to comply with the ISO 10993-1 standard. Furthermore, the design and development phases of the subject device were validated throughout a set of performance tests, including software validation testing, electrical and mechanical safety testing according to IEC 60601-1 standard, electromagnetic compatibility testing according to IEC 60601-1-2 standard, safety and essential performance of nerve and muscle stimulators testing according to IEC 60601- 2-10 standard.

All in all, these performance tests demonstrated that the device specifications meet the system requirements and do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.

Consequently, it can be concluded that the BACK 3 is substantially equivalent to its predicate device and can be sold in the US market.

The table below summarizes the equivalence of the devices.
