The DEKA SIMON device is intended for: - Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy - Maintaining or increasing range of motion - Muscle re-education - Relaxation of muscle spasms - Increasing local blood circulation - Immediate postsurgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
Device Story
DEKA SIMON is a powered muscle stimulator using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology. It consists of a console with an LCD touch screen, CPU controller, AC/DC power supply, and 4 applicators with 2 electrodes each. The device delivers symmetrical biphasic rectangular electrical pulses to induce muscle contraction. It is used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. The operator selects parameters via the GUI; the device provides regulated voltage output with current limiting. The output affects muscle tissue to achieve therapeutic goals like spasm relaxation or atrophy prevention. The device is a restyled version of the predicate, with TENS mode removed and applicator dimensions modified.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Electrical safety and EMC testing performed per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-10. Software verification and validation conducted per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Powered muscle stimulator (Class II, IPF). Materials: Delrin housing. Energy: AC/DC power supply (115-230VAC). Output: 4 channels, symmetrical biphasic rectangular waveform, 3-200 Hz, 25-400 µs pulse width. Connectivity: Standalone console with LCD touch screen. Compliance: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10. Software: Microprocessor-controlled with automatic overload/no-load trip and shut-off features.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring muscle stimulation for prevention/retardation of disuse atrophy, maintenance/increase of range of motion, muscle re-education, relaxation of muscle spasms, increased local blood circulation, and immediate postsurgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A powered muscle stimulator is an electrically powered device intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area.

Dear Paolo Peruzzi:
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 (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 located 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
