No
The summary describes a standard TENS device with a heat function and adjustable intensity levels, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is designed for symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain, temporary pain relief, and provides a heat function for temporary relief of minor aches and pains, directly indicating it is used for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device is described as being for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain" and "temporary relief of pain." Its function, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), is a treatment method, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "self-adhesive TENS device" and mentions a "heat function," indicating it is a physical hardware device that delivers electrical stimulation and heat, not solely software. The performance studies also include hardware-related tests like biocompatibility and electrical safety.
Based on the provided information, the FT-615 device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain," "temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles," and "temporary relief of pain associated with dysmenorrhea." These are all related to treating or managing physical symptoms directly on the body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "self-adhesive TENS device with 15 adjustable intensity levels for pain relief" and also provides a "heat function." TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a method of electrical stimulation applied to the skin to relieve pain. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the body.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The FT-615 does not perform any such tests.
The device is a therapeutic device used for pain relief through electrical stimulation and heat, applied externally to the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FT-615 is designed for symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain, and for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities and to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. It is also indicated for temporary relief of pain associated with dysmenorthea (menstrual cramps) when used with over-the-counter pain medication, it also provides a heat function intended to temporarily relief of minor aches and pains.

Device Description
The subject device is a self-adhesive TENS device with 15 adjustable intensity levels for pain relief. Moreover, it also provides a heat function which can be used alone, or in conjunction with the TENS function simultaneously. TENS, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, refers to the electrical stimulation of nerves through the skin which is an effective method of pain relief. It can be used for self-treatment. Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must be checked by your general practitioner who will also give you instruction on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment regime.
TENS device works by passing electrical currents over the skin via a set of gel pads. As a transfer medium, the gel pads are subject to natural wear and tear, and must be replaced when they stop providing sufficient contact or the main unit no longer sticks to the skin completely. Failure to replace the gel pad may lead to skin irritation as a result of heightened current density in particular areas.
This device is only compatible with the 50 mm x 56 mm gel pads which are the OTC medical device cleared by FDA under K132588, and come with the device.

It is also indicated for temporary relief of pain associated with dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) when used with over-the-counter pain medication. In addition, it also provides a heat function intended to temporarily relief of minor aches and pains.
8. Non-clinical Testing
A series of safety and performance tests, as follows, were conducted on the subject device in accordance with FDA recognized consensus standards and/or guidance:
- Shelf life (ASTM F1980-16)
- Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1 Edition 4.0, ISO 10993-5 Edition 3.0 and ISO 10993-10 Edition 3.0)
- Software validation (IEC 62304 Edition 1.1)
- Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety (ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2015/(R)2012, IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 4.0, IEC 60601-1-11 Edition 2.0 and IEC 60601-2-10 Edition 2.1)
- Function test (Guidance Document for Powered Muscle Stimulator 510(K)s. Document issued on: June 9, 1999)
- Usability test (IEC 60601-1-6 Edition 3.1 and IEC 62366-1 Edition 1.0)

All the test results demonstrate the subject device, HEATING TENS (FT-615), meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended use, and its substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
9. Clinical Testing
No clinical test data was used to support the decision of substantial equivalence.
10. Comparison of Differences and Substantial Equivalence Determination
The subject device, HEATING TENS (FT-615), submitted in this 510(k) file is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, functions, technology, operation principles, materials, PCBA, software, electrode area and performance to the cleared HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator (FT610-B)(K211403). Differences between the devices cited in the following do not raise any new issue of substantial equivalence.

11. Discussion
Based on the comparison information in our submission, we can determine that the subject device is similar to the predicate device in most aspect. The subject device has the same intended use, provided the same functions by the same operating principle as the predicate device, except housing and dimensions. The subject device has same material, design, technology, PCBA, software, electrode area and performance to

demonstrate these differences would not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. The differences between the subject devices and the predicate device would not raise any problem in substantial equivalence claims.
12. Conclusion
After analyzing a series of non-clinical test results we have ensure that all of our design outputs meet the specified requirements of inputs, and also the final product meets the user needs. Thus, we can reasonably believe that the subject devices, HEATING TENS (FT-615), is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in safety and effectiveness.
