Intended Use
The TENS and Microcurrent modes of the Trio 300 are indicated for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain. They are also indicated for the treatment of post-traumatic and post-surgical pain. The electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) mode is indicated for relaxation of muscle spasm, prevention or retardation of disuse muscle atrophy, muscle re-education, increase local blood circulation, maintain or increase range of motion, immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
Device Description
The Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator is a small, portable, battery-powered electrical stimulator device that has four stimulation modes, (1) TENS, (2) EMS, (3) microcurrent, and (4) programmable. The device has an LED screen that serves as the interface with the user to specify options, provide messages, and display parameters. The device is supplied with an AC adaptor for line current operation. The Trio 300 consists of the pulse generator, A/C power adapter, and the surface electrodes. The Trio 300 is a dual-channel electrical stimulator with four output modes. The device is equipped with a liquid crystal display (LCD) for communication with the user. The SELECT key allows the user to scroll through the options (e.g., mode) available at a particular point and the SET key allows the selection of the displayed option. The UP-ARROW and DOWN-ARROW keys allow the user to increase or decrease certain selected parameters.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard electrical stimulation modes and user interface controls, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for symptomatic relief of pain, treatment of post-traumatic and post-surgical pain, relaxation of muscle spasm, prevention of disuse muscle atrophy, muscle re-education, increase local blood circulation, maintain or increase range of motion, and immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, all of which are therapeutic uses.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is an electrical stimulator for pain relief and muscle stimulation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "small, portable, battery-powered electrical stimulator device" and lists hardware components like a pulse generator, A/C power adapter, and surface electrodes.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for various health issues.
  • Device Function: The Trio 300 is an electrical stimulator that applies electrical currents to the body for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, muscle stimulation). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the application of electrical stimulation for pain management and muscle function, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a portable electrical stimulator with electrodes, not equipment for analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Trio 300 falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.

The Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator is a device that combines four types of electrical stimulation in one device. It has a TENS mode, an electrical muscle stimulation mode, a microcurrent mode, and a general programmable mode. Since it appears that this particular combination of modes has not been present to date in any single device, it is necessary to claim substantial equivalence to more one predicate device. The TENS, microcurrent, and than programmable modes of the Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator are substantially equivalent to the corresponding modes of the Acutron Mentor Model 961 (K981976). The electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), TENS, and programmable modes of the Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator are substantially equivalent to the Bio-Medical Research Model NT2000 Stimulator (K972244).

B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator is a small, portable, battery-powered electrical stimulator device that has four stimulation modes, (1) TENS, (2) EMS, (3) microcurrent, and (4) programmable. The device has an LED screen that serves as the interface with the user to specify options, provide messages, and display parameters. The device is supplied with an AC adaptor for line current operation.

The Trio 300 consists of the pulse generator, A/C power adapter, and the surface electrodes.

The Trio 300 is a dual-channel electrical stimulator with four output modes. The device is equipped with a liquid crystal display (LCD) for communication with the user. The SELECT key allows the user to scroll through the options (e.g., mode) available at a particular point and the

SET key allows the selection of the displayed option. The UP-ARROW and DOWN-ARROW keys allow the user to increase or decrease certain selected parameters.

C. INTENDED USE

The TENS mode of the Trio 300 is indicated for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain. It is also indicated for the treatment of post-traumatic and post-surgical pain. The electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) mode is indicated for relaxation of muscle spasm, prevention or retardation of disuse muscle atrophy, muscle reeducation, increase local blood circulation, maintain or increase range of motion, immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.

D. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY

The Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator is a medical device, and it has the same indications for use and target population as the legally marketed predicate devices. The Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. This premarket notification will describe the characteristics of the Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator in sufficient detail to assure substantial equivalence except for a few of the characteristics where performance testing was carried out (e.g., electrical safety).

E. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Trio 300 and one of the predicate devices all portable, batterypowered, electronic pulse generator devices with surface electrodes. The Trio 300 and both predicate devices are microprocessor-based and employ digital and analog circuits to produce the specified waveforms and levels. All employ an LCD screen as the user interface.

The electrodes that will be supplied with the Trio 300 Multi-Mode Electrical Stimulator are manufactured in the U.S. by Axelgaard Manufacturing Company and are currently marketed products (K970426). Two sizes are available, 2″ by 2″ and 2″ by 3.5″.

F. TESTING

Testing was carried out to assure compliance with recognized electrical safety standards. Ito has certified compliance with the EN-60601 standard for electrical safety. Testing to UL 2601 is in progress.

TUV has issued an Attestation of Conformity for the Trio 300 in regard

to the EN 60601-1-2 standard for electromagnetic compatibility.

The design qualification testing demonstrated that the Trio 300 met its design specifications.

G. CONCLUSION

This pre-market submission has demonstrated Substantial Equivalence as defined and understood in the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and various guidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
