## Device Story
Sonicator® Plus 920 is a two-channel combination unit for therapeutic ultrasound and muscle stimulation; used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Device inputs include user-selected treatment parameters via membrane panel or touch-sensitive screen. It delivers 1 and 3 MHz ultrasound via dual-frequency applicators and various electrical stimulation waveforms (Interferential, Russian, EMS, High Volt, TENS, microcurrent, DC). Microprocessor-controlled system allows simultaneous use of two different waveforms. Output is delivered to patient via applicators or electrodes. Clinicians use preset or customized protocols to manage pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. Benefits include deep heat therapy, muscle re-education, and circulation improvement. Device features automatic overload, over-current, and no-load trips for safety.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance was verified through comparative bench testing of electrical and ultrasonic output specifications against the predicate device.
## Technological Characteristics
Metal casing; microprocessor-controlled; 1 and 3 MHz ultrasound; electrical stimulation waveforms (Interferential, Russian, EMS, High Volt, TENS, microcurrent, DC). Standards: ISO 14971, UL 2601-1, CSA C22.2 No 601.1-M90, IEC/EN 60601-1, IEC/EN 60601-1-2, IEC/EN 60601-2-5, IEC/EN 60601-2-10, 21 CFR 1050.10. Connectivity: Standalone AC line powered.
## Regulatory Identification
An ultrasound and muscle stimulator for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies. The device also passes electrical currents through the body area to stimulate or relax muscles.

### Proposed Device Name:
a. TRADE NAME: Sonicator® Plus 920 , Model ME 920 b. CLASSIFICATION NAME: Ultrasound and muscle stimulator (Sec. 890.5860. Product Code IMG) c. COMMON NAME: Combination Ultrasound and Muscle Stimulator
### Predicate Device:
## TRADE NAME: Sonicator® Plus 940, Model ME 940 510(k) Number: K071137
### Description of Proposed Device:
The Sonicator® Plus 920, Model ME 920 is a two-channel combination unit for therapeutic ultrasound and muscle stimulation. The microprocessor controlled Sonicator® Plus 920 provides interferential (4-pole), pre-modulated(2-pole interferential), medium frequency (Russian), EMS, High Volt, TENS, microcurrent and direct current (DC) waveforms with enhanced reliability and ease of use. In addition the Sonicator® Plus 920 offers 1 and 3 MHz ultrasound using dual frequency 5.5 cm2 applicator. An optional 0.9 cm applicator at 1 and 3 MHz is also available.
The two-channel Sonicator® Plus 920 allows the clinician to utilize up to two different waveforms using two channels simultaneously. They can choose between several different amplitude modulation options such as the surge, reciprocation and vector sweep The interferential and pre-modulated modes offer frequency modulation as well as a static frequency option.
The Sonicator Plus provides both a membrane panel and a touchsensitive screen to allow you to quickly set up treatments. 90 preset treatment setups allow quick set up of a treatment that is already in the memory, plus any of these programs may be customized with the clinician's own treatment protocols.
The Sonicator® Plus 920 can provide electrical stimulation only, ultrasound only and combination therapy with the pre-modulated, TENS, High Voltage, microcurrent and DC waveforms.
