Comparison to Livia
Due to the fact that TENS/EMS electrical stimulator putput energy at lower impedance levels, and skin resistance only reaches 5002 under extreme or unusual conditions evaluations are conductions such as IEC 60601-2-10 and NS4. There standards assess the safety of electrical stimulator devices under the most hazardous conditions when output signals are delivered to the skin. In general, skin impedance is around 2000 to 27002.
For the subject device, although the voltage (current) at 5000 load shows slight differences compared to the suistance falls within the 2000 to 2700 range. After testing, we found the specifications are close to those of Livia (K183110), therefore it is considered substantially equivalent.
The following is a comparison of the values.
Livia K183110:
- At 500 ohms, the voltage is 50V
- At 2000 ohms, the voltage is 64V
- At 2700 ohms, the voltage is 64V
WL-2315C(M):
- · At 500 ohms, the voltage is 30V, with a difference of -66.7% compared to the Livia.
- · At 2000 ohms, the voltage is 61V, with a difference of -4.9% compared to the Livia.
- · At 2700 ohms, the voltage is 64V, with a difference of 0.0% compared to the Livia.
WL-2315E(M):
- · At 500 ohms, the voltage is 30V, with a difference of -66.7% compared to the Livia.
- · At 2000 ohms, the voltage is 61V, with a difference of -4.9% compared to the Livia.
- · At 2700 ohms, the voltage is 64V, with a difference of 0.0% compared to the Livia.
WL-2405H(M)-P9:
- · At 500 ohms, the voltage is 40V, with a difference of -25.0% compared to the Livia.
- · At 2000 ohms, the voltage is 64V, with a difference of 0.0% compared to the Livia.
- · At 2700 ohms, the voltage is 66V, with a difference of +3.0% compared to the Livia.

7.4 Comparison in Detail(s)
Note 1: The product's intended use is the same as the Primary Predicate Device, encompassing (1) TENS and (2) EMS functions. Additionally, it includes MENSTRUAL Relief. Therefore, we included the Secondary Predicate Device for comparison, which is cleared for both general pain relief using TENS and MENSTRUAL pain Relief.
Note 2: The differences between the product and the Primary Predicate Device are as follows: (1) WL-2405H(M) offers several additional programs, with the extra programs specifically designed for MENSTRUAL Relief. (2) These programs also apply to WL-2315E(M) and WL-2315C(M) as default output signals. The output signal specifications are similar to the Secondary Predicate Device.
Note 3: The product's effectiveness primarily depends on the pattern of electrical signals delivered to the skin (Pulse width, Frequency, DUTY TIME, etc.). After comparison, it has been verified that the electrical signal patterns utilized for relevant applications are consistent. While there are differences in voltage and current, these differences have been assessed through evaluations according to IEC 60601-2-10 and AAMI NS4 standards. It has been determined that these variances do not compromise safety or effectiveness and can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Note 4: A thorough evaluation based on IEC 60601-2-10 and AAMI NS4 standards has verified their compliance with electrical safety specifications when used with the cleared electrodes specified.
7.5 Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Well-Life Pain Relief (Menstrual Plus) Electrical Stimulator has the same intended use as the primary and secondary predicate devices, and has similar technological characteristics and output specifications as these devices. The indications for use of the device are encompassed by the predicate devices, including TENS, arthritis, and dysmenorrhea pain. For these reasons, the subject device does not present any safety or effectiveness concerns and can be determined substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
