More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on TENS and PMS therapy controlled by an app, without mentioning any AI/ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device description explicitly states that ENSO 2 provides "professional-grade transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy," and its intended use section describes its application for pain relief and muscle performance improvement, which are therapeutic functions.

No

The provided text explicitly states the device's intended use is for "symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain," "temporary relief of pain," and "to improve and facilitate muscle performance." These are therapeutic, not diagnostic, functions.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a main ENSO Device, a disposable Gel Pad, and a charging cable with AC adapter, in addition to the ENSO App. This indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and powered muscle stimulation (PMS) device. It applies electrical stimulation to the skin for pain relief and muscle performance.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for symptomatic relief of pain and improving muscle performance, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Device Description: The components (device, gel pad, charging cable, app) and how it's used (applied to skin, controlled wirelessly) are consistent with a TENS/PMS device, not an IVD.

The information provided focuses on the device's function in applying electrical stimulation externally to the body, which is the core characteristic of a TENS/PMS device, not an IVD.

Dear Dawn Norman:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

The subject of the present Traditional 510(k) submission is a modification of CUR Model 1. The device that is the subject of this 510(k) submission is identical to the predicate device (K160052) in terms of intended use, indications for use, charger function/materials. AC adaptor, gel pad tape, overall functionality. design, type of mating connections, biocompatibility and packaging. The subject device and the predicate share the same fundamental scientific technology and intended use.

Compared to the predicate device (K160052), the subject device uses several enhancements to improve device functionality and operation (see Performance Testing Section for details). The main changes are:

  • ·Contraindications, remove implanted metal devices
  • ·Extend gel pad expiration date period from 12mo to 18mo and then 18mo to 24mo
  • ·Improve battery shelf life
  • •Minor software updates to add functionality and change system requirements.
  • ·Add over-the-air (OTA) firmware update ability

There are no changes to the product's intended use, indications for use, functionality, biocompatibility, and packaging.

The ENSO Device System that is the subject of this submission meets the specifications for electrical output for TENS and EMS Modes, and IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 and -10.

Indications for Use (for this submission):

The Hinge Health ENSO Device System is intended to be used in the following: A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) Mode which is indicated for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain, and for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder,

waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. , and

A powered muscle stimulation (PMS) mode which is indicated to improve and facilitate muscle performance in healthy muscles.

The ENSO Device should be applied to normal, healthy, dry and clean skin of adult patients.

With the exception of the addition of Hinge Health's "ENSO" brand name, there are no changes to the indications for use or intended use from the previously cleared CUR Model 1 predicate (K160052). Form FDA 3881. Indications for Use. can be found in the 510(k) submission. The addition of the "ENSO" brand name to the Indications for Use statement is not considered a change because the product line has been branded "ENSO" since it was launched in the USA in 2017.
