Device Description

Gnesis EMS Plus is an electro-medical device intended for stimulating healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. It is designed for personal training.

None of Gnesis EMS Plus training programs is designed for injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated. It must be used only on healthy muscles and patients, it is not designed for rehabilitation purposes.

The device must be worn over the underwear provided by the system manufacturer, ensuring that the electrodes do not come into direct contact with the patient's skin.

Gnesis EMS Plus System cannot be used while the user is performing demanding tasks, such as jumping or lifting weights, any exercise must be approved by a qualified trainer.

Genesis EMS Plus System includes the stimulator device, EMS suit with integrated electrodes, electrode wiring, specific underwear, stimulator charger (Off-the-shelf USB-C PD 3.0) and control device (Off-the-shelf Android Tablet with custom application)

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text.

The Gnesis EMS Plus device is a Powered Muscle Stimulator. The provided FDA 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through non-clinical performance and safety testing against recognized electrical and medical device standards. There is no information about an AI component or a study involving human readers or comparative effectiveness in the traditional sense of AI system evaluation. The "acceptance criteria" here relate to meeting established safety and performance standards for powered muscle stimulators and demonstrating similar technological characteristics and intended use as predicate devices.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document describes non-clinical testing in a laboratory setting. There is no "test set" in terms of patient data or clinical imaging. The "test set" for this device would refer to the physical device and its components undergoing engineering and electrical testing.

  • Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of clinical or AI performance data. The device itself (Gnesis EMS Plus) was the "sample" for the non-clinical tests.
  • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by an accredited laboratory (SGS Tecnos Spain) in accordance with international and European standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, UNE-EN). This is engineering and safety testing, not human data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts

This information is not applicable as the device is not an AI system being evaluated for diagnostic performance against a medical ground truth. The "ground truth" here is adherence to engineering and safety standards, verified by testing laboratories and the technical specifications of the device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable. There was no need for adjudication as the testing involved objective measurements against established technical standards, not subjective interpretations requiring expert consensus.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done, and is not applicable to this device. This device is a powered muscle stimulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not done, and is not applicable to this device. This device is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm or AI. The "performance" assessment was through non-clinical testing of its electrical and safety characteristics against recognized standards.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's acceptance is based on compliance with established international and European consensus standards for electrical medical equipment and powered muscle stimulators (e.g., IEC 60601 series, IEC 62304, ISO 14971). These standards define acceptable limits for electrical output, safety, EMC, software lifecycle, and risk management.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not Applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI model, there is no ground truth established for one. The device's design and parameters were developed based on engineering principles and compliance with existing standards.

7. NON-CLINICAL TESTING

During the development of the Gnesis EMS Plus System the following non-clinical tests have been performed to validate the adequate performance of the system and equivalence to other systems in the market.

  • Internal laboratory tests for waveform quality, responsiveness of controls, parameter . regulation accuracy, battery life and reliability.
  • . EMC testing according to the procedures defined in IEC 60601-1-2 by external certification authority.
  • . Safety testing according to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-10 by external certification authority.

8. CLINICAL TESTING

Gnesis EMS Plus System implements Electrical Muscle Stimulation technology, which is a very well known and proved technology.

The system implements no significant differences form the clinical point of view, therefore no additional clinical testing was necessary to prove the performance of the device, apart from performance and safety testing.

{12}------------------------------------------------

9. CONCLUSIONS OF COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICES

The predicate devices: I-Motion and WIEMSPRO are currently marketed in US and approved by FDA with their respective 510(k) numbers.

Indications for use of Gnesis EMS Plus and WIEMSPRO are almost identical to those of I-Motion, as I-Motion is the main comparison device in both cases.

The above table shows Gnesis EMS Plus has equivalent technical characteristics, while observing the following minor differences:

  • Gnesis EMS Plus uses a higher voltage battery, this affects power efficiency and battery life but has no effects on the treatment or battery safety. Cells comply with IEC 62133-2:2007 "Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications - Part 2: Lithium systems"
  • . Gnesis EMS Plus has 12 channels. Wiempspro and I-Motion have 10. This allows for the treatment of more muscle groups, all channels have the same technical characteristics and comply with IEC 60601-2-10
  • . Gnesis EMS Plus has on/off switch and Power-saver timer. Wiemspro and I-Motion have only on/off switch. Power-saver timer only works in case the device is disconnected from control application and treatment is not active.
  • Gnesis EMS Plus is made of aluminum, Wiempspro and I-Motion of plastic. Safety tested according to IEC 60601-2-10 for leakage currents and impact resistance.
  • . Gnesis EMS plus weights 500 gr.; Wiemspro and I-Motion weigh 300 gr.
  • Gnesis EMS Plus has 10 programs customizable; Wiemspro has 10, I-Motion has none. All parameters are limited to the ranges mandated in IEC 60601-2-10
  • Gnesis EMS Plus provides higher power and current densities and provides a wider range of adjustment of waveforms. All parameters are inside specified limits in IEC 60601-2-10

As these minor differences don't affect the basic safety of the device or create any significant deviation in performance from the predicate devices, and given that all three devices comply to the same main standards, Gnesis EMS Plus can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices I-Motion and WIEMSPRO.
