Intended Use
The Motive™ Electrode is intended for use as a disposable, conductive, and adhesive interface between the user's skin and an electrical muscle stimulator. Motive Electrode is intended for adults of 22 years of age and older.
Device Description
The Motive Electrode provides an electrically conductive interface between a neuromuscular electrical stimulator (muscle stimulator) and a user's skin. The Motive Electrode is provided nonsterile, is designed and intended for single patient use only, multiple application use, and is disposable. The electrode sheet is to be worn on the thigh covering the quadriceps muscles to apply electrical stimulation therapy when connected to a muscle stimulator. The electrodes are conductive pads that contact the skin. The electrical stimulation impulses are delivered through the electrodes on the skin in direct proximity to the muscles to be stimulated. The Motive Electrode consists of multiple layers. The skin-contacting layer of the electrode sheet is comprised of three separate medical grade, self-adhering, biocompatible, and conductive hydrogel (gel) pads. These gel pads are placed on a single polyester or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet. These gel pads include two rectangular 2 inch x 4 inch (5.1 x 10.2 cm) and one circular. 2.165 inch diameter (5.5 cm) pads. The outermost layer of the electrode contains a magnetic connector housing for electrical connection to the muscle stimulator. Silver ink printed conductive electrical traces on the PET film are utilized to provide electrical conductivity from the muscle stimulator to the gel pads. When not in use, the electrode sheet is covered by a paper-backed release liner.
More Information

No
The description focuses solely on the physical and electrical properties of a disposable electrode for electrical muscle stimulation. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic components, let alone AI/ML.

No.
The device (Motive™ Electrode) is described as a conductive and adhesive interface between the user's skin and an electrical muscle stimulator, and its intended use is to deliver electrical stimulation therapy when connected to a muscle stimulator. However, the electrode itself does not provide the therapeutic effect; it only facilitates the delivery of stimulation from an external muscle stimulator, which is the therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an "interface" between the user's skin and an "electrical muscle stimulator" for "electrical stimulation therapy." It delivers electrical impulses to muscles, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like gel pads, a PET sheet, silver ink traces, and a magnetic connector housing, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a conductive interface between the user's skin and an electrical muscle stimulator for electrical muscle stimulation therapy. This is a direct interaction with the body for therapeutic purposes, not for examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical interface (electrodes) for delivering electrical impulses to muscles. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen. The device's function is purely electrical stimulation through the skin.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on electrical, mechanical, and biocompatibility testing related to skin contact and electrical conductivity, not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic information derived from biological samples.

Therefore, the Motive Electrode falls under the category of a medical device used for therapy (electrical muscle stimulation), not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

9 Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The predicate device for Motive Electrode is ASCEND Electrode manufactured by NeuroMetrix, Inc., 510(k) NUMBER K140586. The Motive Electrode and ASCEND Electrode have the same intended use. Both are intended as disposable. single-patient for multiple application use electrodes with an adhesive conductive hydrogel interface to deliver treatment from an electrical stimulator to the User's skin. Both are multi-layer electrode sheet designs housing multiple individual electrodes in a pre-defined geometry. Both are substantially equivalent in composition and material, consisting of flex silver pads or traces printed onto a plastic film base sheet.

The primary difference between the two devices is that the Motive Electrode consists of three electrodes compared to the ASCEND Electrode's four electrodes. The shape and surface area of the Motive Electrodes are within range of the predicate ASCEND Electrodes. The individual predicate ASCEND Electrodes contain a smaller surface area (36 by 46 mm, surface area of 1656 mm²). In contrast, the smallest Motive Electrode contains a larger surface area (50.8 mm diameter circle, surface area of 2026 mm²).

Table 1 compares design details of the Motive Electrode to the predicate ASCEND Electrode:
