Intended Use

Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm), lower extremities (leg), abdomen and bottom due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.

Device Description

The Progenix Select Stim (Model: PRO1205-OTC1) device is a portable, battery powered (9 V battery) two channel device designed to provide Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for the purpose of the symptomatic relief of pain.

The device consists of the TENS stimulator, two lead wires and set of four Skin Electrodes. It provides 10 preset TENS treatment programmes. The programs include four modes of operation: Conventional TENS(Continuous), Burst Mode, Modulation mode and HAN TENS. The device LCD screen shows the information of program, intensity level of each channel and operating time.

The electrode pads are cleared by FDA (510(k) number K160138). They are used as an accessory to the TENS device unit, to transmit electrical current to patient skin. The electrodes consist of biocompatible self-adhesive conductive application use. These electrodes are sized 50x50mm and are sold under the model number PRO5050.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Progenix Select Stim (K242460) is for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. Based on the document, this device is cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device (HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator, K190347).

It is crucial to understand that a 510(k) clearance, especially for devices like TENS units, primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than requiring extensive de novo clinical trials or complex AI performance studies. The provided document explicitly states under "9. Clinical Performance Data" that it is "Not applicable." This means the clearance was granted based on non-clinical (bench) testing demonstrating that the device performs similarly to the predicate and meets relevant safety standards.

Therefore, the request to describe "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of AI performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment by experts, etc.) is not directly applicable to this specific device and clearance. The device is a TENS unit, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or interpretative system.

However, I can extract and structure the information related to the device's performance relative to its substantial equivalence claim and the non-clinical testing performed, which serves as its "proof of meeting acceptance criteria" in this context.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided document, addressing the closest relevant points:


Acceptance Criteria and Study that Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria (for a TENS Device)

For the Progenix Select Stim (K242460), the "acceptance criteria" are primarily defined by its substantial equivalence to the predicate device and compliance with applicable voluntary safety standards. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refers to the non-clinical (bench) testing performed to demonstrate this equivalence and safety.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this is not an AI/ML device, the "performance" is about meeting electrical and mechanical specifications, and adherence to safety standards, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics. The table below summarizes key comparative parameters that demonstrate substantial equivalence, which serve as "acceptance criteria" for the device's design and function.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of diagnostic/AI performance. The "test set" for this device involved non-clinical bench testing to verify electrical outputs, functional performance, and safety parameters against established engineering specifications and voluntary standards. The sample size would typically refer to the number of device units tested according to a quality control or design verification plan, but this specific number is not disclosed in the 510(k) summary.
  • Data Provenance: The data provenance is from non-clinical laboratory studies and safety testing conducted by the manufacturer (Progenix LLC) to demonstrate compliance with recognized consensus standards. This is not patient or clinical data. There is no mention of country of origin of data in this context. It is inherently prospective as it's part of the pre-market design verification and validation process.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a TENS unit, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is adherence to engineering specifications and safety standards as assessed through physical and electrical measurements.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. No expert adjudication process like 2+1 or 3+1 is relevant for the non-clinical testing of a TENS device.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No. The document explicitly states "9. Clinical Performance Data: Not applicable." MRMC studies are typically performed for imaging or diagnostic AI devices to assess the impact of AI assistance on human reader performance. This is a therapeutic device for pain relief.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • Not applicable. There is no AI algorithm in this TENS device that performs a diagnostic or interpretative function. Its "standalone" performance is its ability to generate electrical impulses according to its specifications, which was verified through non-clinical testing.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Engineering Specifications and Voluntary Safety Standards: The "ground truth" for this device is its adherence to the design specifications (e.g., measured voltage, current, pulse width, frequency within specified ranges) and compliance with recognized international safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-10 for electrical safety, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility of electrodes).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set" in the machine learning sense.

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.

Comparison:

Note 1:
There are some differences on the maximum output voltage and maximum Output current, between proposed device and predicate device K190347. The Progenix Select Stim features a lower maximum output voltage. This means that the device is safer and reduces risks associated with using the higher voltages while, nevertheless, remaining effective. The device has been tested to IEC60601-1 and IEC60601-2-10 standards and was found to comply with its requirements, demonstrating that the device is electrically safe for use by end users. Therefore, this difference does not affect the safety and efficacy of the device when used as labeled.

Note 2:
The pulse width range in proposed device is narrower but still within the lower end of the range used by the predicate device. Pulse widths within the 50 to 200 μs range are widely recognized as effective for stimulating sensory and motor nerves, which are the primary targets for therapeutic TENS device. Extended lower limit and reduced upper limit does not compromise the device's ability to deliver effective therapy, as studies have shown that pulse widths in this range are sufficient for pain relief. The narrower range may even help minimize the risk of discomfort associated with higher pulse widths, enhancing user safety.

Note 3:
The frequency range in proposed device is narrower, within the range of the predicate device and falls entirely within the range considered safe and effective for therapeutic electrical nerve stimulation. Frequencies from 2 to 100 Hz allow for stimulating with both low-frequency and medium-frequency applications. The exclusion of very high frequencies (>100 Hz) does not impact performance, as these frequencies are less commonly used for the intended therapeutic effects and may be less comfortable for users.

Note 4:
There are some differences on the maximum phase charge, maximum current density, maximum power density between the proposed device and the predicate device, K190347,but these parameters don't exceed the safety limit (˂0.25Watts/cm²), Therefore, these differences won't raise any new safety and effectiveness risk. The differences are caused by fact that proposed device has lower max output and that bigger surface area of proposed smallest electrode. The electrodes are sized 50x50mm and are sold as model PRO5050.

The Progenix Select Stim model PRO1205-OTC1 demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device, HIVOX OTC Electrical Stimulator (Models EM49-1 and EM49-2, K190347), based on a comparison of their technological characteristics. Both devices are handheld electrical stimulators designed for over-the-counter (OTC) use to provide electrical stimulation for temporary pain relief. The materials used in their construction, including biocompatible electrodes and housing components, are substantial equivalent, ensuring safety and compatibility with intended use. Neither device involves the use of chemicals or drugs.

In terms of energy source, the Progenix Select Stim, PRO1205 uses a single PP3 alkaline 9V battery, whereas the predicate device is powered by 3 x AAA batteries providing 4.5V. Despite this difference, both devices deliver low-voltage electrical impulses, and the change in energy source does not affect safety, performance, or compliance with applicable standards.

Regarding output specifications, the pulse width for the predicate device is 50 to 450 μs, and the frequency range is 1 to 150 Hz, while the Progenix Select Stim, PRO1205-OTC1 has a pulse width of 50 to 250 μs and a frequency range of 10 to 100 Hz. These differences result in slightly narrower ranges for the Progenix Select Stim, PRO1205-OTC1, but the specifications remain within the range of commonly accepted values for safe and effective electrical stimulation. The narrower pulse width and frequency ranges are aligned with the intended therapeutic effects of the Progenix Select Stim, PRO1205-OTC1 and do not introduce safety or performance concerns. Both devices comply with IEC 60601-1 (General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance) and IEC 60601-2-10 (Particular
