The Innovo is a transcutaneous electrical stimulator indicated for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in adult females.
The Innovo is indicated for prescription use only.
The Innovo is a single channel, rechargeable, non-implanted electrical stimulator that is intended for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
The Innovo is comprised of the following main components, along with accessories:
- Controller
- Body Garments (right and left)
- Gel Pads (8 surface electrodes)
- Battery Charger
- Lead Wire
- Neck Strap
The Controller generates the electrical stimulation patterns for coupling the stimulation signals to the body when sued with the Gel Pad electrodes and lead wire. The Body Garments, equipped with 8 surface electrodes, are worn by the patient and cover the buttocks, lateral pelvis, and upper thighs. The electrodes have a skin conductive adhesive hydrogel laver, a current dispersing layer, and a garment conductive adhesive hydrogel layer.
The four electrodes on the right side are combined into a single equivalent electrode (and similarly as are the electrodes on the left side). The electrical stimulation current is passed across the pelvic area (from the right side to the left site), thereby stimulating the pelvic floor muscles.
Innovo Device Acceptance Criteria and Study Analysis
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for the Innovo device are primarily derived from the "Summary of Clinical Information" and "Benefit-Risk Determination" sections, particularly an observed meaningful clinical improvement for the target condition.
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (Innovo) |
---|---|
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Clinically meaningful improvement in provocative pad weight test | 56.3% of patients showed at least a 50% reduction in the provocative pad weight test at Week 12 (Study 2, ITT Population/Multiple Imputation). This was deemed "clinically meaningful" by the review. |
Improvement in Incontinence Quality of Life (iQOL) | Study 1: Treatment group had at least a 10-point improvement in iQOL score at 12 weeks from baseline. |
Study 2: Mean change from baseline in iQOL was 13.41 (compared to 15.42 for the comparator device, both showing improvement). | |
Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) | 70.7% of patients in the Innovo group reported improvement at 12 weeks (Study 2). |
Safety: Low adverse event profile, with most events mild/moderate and reversible. | Overall: Innovo had a low adverse event profile. Most device-related adverse events (19.1% of subjects) were mild or moderate and resolved by stopping treatment or reducing intensity. |
Biocompatibility | Components found to be biocompatible for its use (based on ISO 10993-1 and prior clearances for components). |
Electromagnetic Compatibility & Electrical/Mechanical/Thermal Safety | Conformed to IEC 60601-1, IEC 62133, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, and IEC 60601-1-11 standards. |
Software Verification and Validation | Software for the Controller has a "moderate" level of concern and was addressed by supporting documentation. Output specifications verified by bench testing. |
Labeling | Provided with instructions for use, prescription statement, and proper placement/care instructions. |
2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance
The primary clinical evidence supporting the Innovo device comes from two studies:
- Study 1 (Germany - Sham Controlled Trial):
- Sample Size: N=50 women (N=24 in treatment arm, N=26 in control/sham arm completed 12 weeks of treatment). This study was "prematurely stopped."
- Data Provenance: Germany, prospective, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled.
- Study 2 (USA - Randomized Non-Inferiority Study):
- Sample Size: N=180 subjects (N=89 in Innovo group, N=91 in iTouch Sure group).
- Data Provenance: USA (12 US sites), prospective, multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority clinical study.
3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications for Ground Truth
The document does not explicitly state the number or specific qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the clinical studies. However, the patient population for both studies consists of "women clinically diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence." This implies that the diagnoses were made by qualified medical professionals (e.g., urologists, gynecologists, or primary care physicians with relevant expertise), who would have established the initial inclusion criteria and therefore the "ground truth" of the SUI diagnosis for enrollment.
For objective measures like the 1-hour and 24-hour pad weight tests, the "ground truth" is established by the quantifiable weight of leaked urine, measured according to standardized protocols rather than a subjective expert assessment of individual cases. Similarly, questionnaires like iQoL and MESA rely on patient self-assessment.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not specify any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for determining the "ground truth" of the test set beyond the initial clinical diagnosis for enrollment and the objective measurements of the primary and secondary endpoints. For quantitative outcomes like pad weight tests, the measurement itself serves as the ground truth. For patient-reported outcomes (QOL questionnaires), the patient's response is the ground truth.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. The studies described are clinical trials evaluating the device's effectiveness and safety directly on patients, not AI-assisted reader performance. Therefore, there is no mention of the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
The Innovo device is a physical transcutaneous electrical stimulator, not an AI algorithm. Its "performance" refers to its efficacy in treating SUI in patients, not a standalone algorithm's diagnostic or predictive accuracy. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not conducted or applicable to this device. The software in the controller manages stimulation patterns but is not described as an AI algorithm.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used in the clinical studies was based on a combination of:
- Clinical Diagnosis: Women "clinically diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence" (for patient enrollment).
- Objective Outcome Measures:
- Pad Weight Tests: 1-hour and 24-hour pad weight tests (quantifiable leakage in grams). This could be considered a form of "objective measurement" or "outcomes data" rather than expert consensus on retrospective images.
- Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Measures:
- Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (iQoL)
- Medical Epidemiologic and Social Aspects of Aging Urinary Incontinence (MESA) Questionnaire
- Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I)
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not mention a "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm or machine learning. The clinical studies (Study 1 and Study 2) served as the primary data for evaluating the device's performance, but these are "test sets" in the clinical trial sense, not an AI training set. Therefore, a sample size for a training set is not applicable here.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted above, there is no mention of a "training set" for an AI algorithm. If "training set" is instead interpreted as data used to inform the device's design or initial performance parameters, these would likely come from pre-clinical research, feasibility studies, and possibly literature reviews, but the specific methods for establishing ground truth for such development phases are not detailed in this regulatory summary. The "series of smaller feasibility studies conducted during the development of the device" hint at such activities, but specific ground truth establishment for these is not provided.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information, with answers based on the document and explanations for what is not applicable or present:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide acceptance criteria and reported device performance in terms of clinical efficacy (e.g., specific metrics for "improvement of abdominal muscle tone" or "strengthening of abdominal muscles" that would be measured in human subjects).
Instead, it discusses biocompatibility testing results and compliance with international safety and performance standards for electrical medical devices.
Table for Biocompatibility Testing:
Test Result Toxicological Conclusion Cytotoxicity Test: MTT Method MEM with 10% FBS Extract Potential toxicity at extract concentration >=75% No toxicological risk to users. Cytotoxicity Test: MTT Method MEM Extract No potential cytotoxic potential No toxicological risk to users. Skin sensitization: Buehler test in guinea pigs Dermal scoring using the Magnusson and Kligman scoring system was graded as 0 (no visible change) No toxicological risk to users. Skin irritation Test: Direct contact No abnormal signs were observed during the study. The response of skin on test side did not exceed that on the control side. No toxicological risk to users. Performance Testing (Compliance with Standards):
The document states: "Performance testing was conducted in accordance with the following international standards for safety:" followed by a list of IEC 60601 series standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-11) and IEC 62133 for battery testing.
The "acceptance criterion" here is compliance with these standards, which implies the device demonstrated it met the requirements (e.g., limits for leakage current, electromagnetic compatibility, usability, etc.). The specific numerical results of these tests (e.g., exact leakage current measurements) are not detailed in this summary. -
Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This document refers to engineering and biocompatibility testing, not human clinical trials or AI model validation data.
- Biocompatibility: The tests used guinea pigs for skin sensitization and likely in-vitro cell cultures for cytotoxicity. The sample sizes for these biological tests are not specified in this summary.
- Electrical Performance: These involve testing the device hardware against electrical and EMC standards. The "sample size" would typically be a few devices subjected to a series of tests in a lab.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data. The tests were conducted to international standards, presumably in a controlled lab environment.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This is not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's clearance is its compliance with recognized safety and performance standards and its technological similarity to a legally marketed predicate device. There is no "test set" in the context of clinical images or patient data that would require expert annotation to establish ground truth for an AI algorithm.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There is no human reading or interpretation task that requires adjudication for this type of device clearance.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No. This device is an electrical muscle stimulator, not an AI diagnostic tool that assists human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its electrical stimulation characteristics and physical design, not software-based interpretation of data.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this 510(k) clearance is:
- Compliance with established electrical safety and performance standards (IEC 60601 series).
- Acceptable biocompatibility test results.
- Demonstrated equivalence of technological characteristics and indications for use to a legally marketed predicate device.
- Failure of a device to meet specific criteria outlined in these standards (e.g., excessive leakage current, failure of an electrical test) would constitute a "non-compliance" or "failure" against this ground truth.
-
The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device does not use an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.
In summary, the provided document describes a 510(k) substantial equivalence submission for a powered muscle stimulator. This process focuses on demonstrating safety and performance equivalence to an existing device through engineering tests and biocompatibility analysis, rather than proving clinical efficacy of a novel technology or validating an AI algorithm with clinical data. Therefore, most of your specific questions related to AI/ML device validation are not applicable to this document.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided in the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not present acceptance criteria in the typical format of quantitative performance targets (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for clinical outcomes. Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by compliance with a set of international safety and performance standards for medical electrical equipment and the demonstration of "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices. The reported "performance" is the demonstration of compliance with these standards and the comparison of technological characteristics to predicate devices.
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |

Indications for Use: Differences in Indications for Use do not alter intended therapeutic use or affect safety/effectiveness. | "The Indications for Use statement is not identical to the predicate devices; however, the differences do not alter the intended therapeutic use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes performance testing against engineering and electrical standards, not a clinical study involving human subjects to evaluate muscle performance outcomes. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of a clinical study, no data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective), and no "sample size" of patients/cases used for a clinical evaluation. The sample size for the engineering tests would refer to the number of devices tested, which is not specified but is typically a small, representative sample for such regulatory submissions.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Since there is no clinical "test set" with ground truth requiring expert adjudication for diagnosis or outcome, this information is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" here is compliance with established international engineering and safety standards, determined by testing procedures.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
As there is no clinical "test set" requiring human interpretation or agreement on a diagnosis or outcome, an adjudication method is not applicable.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed as part of this submission. This type of study is typically used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness of an AI system (often in image-based diagnostics) compared to human readers, with or without AI assistance. This device is a muscle stimulator, and the submission focuses on engineering, electrical, and biocompatibility safety and performance, and substantial equivalence to predicates, not diagnostic accuracy.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
A standalone performance study in the context of diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes for an algorithm was not performed. The device itself is an electrical muscle stimulator, and while it has a "smart device" app, the "performance data" provided relates to the physical and electrical safety and functionality of the device, not an AI algorithm's standalone clinical performance.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" used for this submission is established international and national engineering, electrical, safety, and biocompatibility standards. Compliance is demonstrated through physical testing, measurements, and comparison to predicate device specifications. There is no pathology, expert consensus on clinical outcomes, or patient outcomes data presented in this context for "ground truth."
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This submission does not involve an AI algorithm that requires a "training set" of data in the typical sense (e.g., for machine learning). The software/firmware in the device controls the electrical stimulation, but it's likely based on predefined programs and parameters, not a learned model from a large dataset. Therefore, there is no training set sample size described.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As there is no "training set," the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the device's functional logic (i.e., how it's programmed to stimulate muscles) would stem from scientific understanding of neuromuscular stimulation and established therapeutic protocols, not from a data-driven training process for an AI.

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Neurotech Plus, Type 413) and, as such, it does not describe an acceptance criteria study in the way one might for an AI/ML device or software performance. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on technological characteristics and intended use, rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria and results.
However, I can extract information related to the device's characteristics and the comparison made to establish substantial equivalence, which is a form of meeting "acceptance criteria" in the context of a 510(k):
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
In a 510(k) submission, "acceptance criteria" is not explicitly stated as performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity for a diagnostic AI. Instead, substantial equivalence is established by demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics to a legally marketed predicate device, or that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The "reported device performance" is essentially the detailed technical specifications of the Neurotech Plus and how they compare to the predicate devices.
The tables (7.1 through 7.10) in the document provide a detailed comparison of the Neurotech Plus models with their respective predicate devices across various electrical stimulation parameters. These comparisons serve as the basis for demonstrating that the new device performs "as well as or better than" the listed predicate.
Below is an example of an abstracted table, as the original tables (7.1-7.10) are extensive and detailed for each model. I will use the information from Table 7.1 for Model 431 as an example comparison, highlighting how the new device's parameters compare to the predicate devices.
Abstracted Comparison Table (Example for Neurotech Plus Model 431 vs. Predicates)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document explicitly states: "No new clinical tests have been submitted as part of this premarket notification." Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of patient data, nor is there information on sample size or data provenance from a prospective or retrospective study. The primary "test" for this submission is a comparison of engineering specifications against predicate devices.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Since no new clinical tests were conducted and no patient-specific "test set" was used, there were no experts involved in establishing a "ground truth" for such a test set. The "ground truth" for a 510(k) is implicitly the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as no new clinical test set requiring adjudication was used.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
Not applicable. This is a 510(k) for a TENS/NMES device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or treatment assistance software. No MRMC study was performed.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is a hardware medical device (Neurotech Plus, Type 413), not a standalone algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
In the context of a 510(k), the "ground truth" for demonstrating safety and effectiveness relies on the previously established regulatory clearance of the predicate devices. The technological characteristics and intended use of the Neurotech Plus were compared to these already approved devices. The ground truth is effectively the regulatory precedent set by the predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device and therefore does not involve a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission.

BMR Face is intended for facial stimulation and is indicated for over the counter cosmetic use
BMR Face. Type 371/372* (* Type 372 is simply a black version of Type 371) is a twochannel, battery operated cosmetic device which is intended for use on the face. The device consists of a rechargeable electronic device which connects to an applicator. Each side paddle of the applicator contains a set of replaceable twin conductive gel pads which deliver electrical impulses to the face. The BMR Face device operates by applying Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to the facial area. Low-level electrical impulses are sent from the stimulator unit via an applicator to gel pads that are positioned anterior to each ear and strategically over the cranial nerve #7 of the face, 3 programs are available to the user and these vary in treatment times from 10 to 20 minutes. Power is derived from a 3.6V NiMH rechargeable battery pack that is pre-installed in the unit and there is no capability for charging the unit whilst any treatment is ongoing. All internal connections of the unit are over molded to prevent moisture ingress.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the "BMR Face, Type 371 & Type 372" device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device ("Rejuvenique® System") rather than presenting a study to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria for performance in a clinical outcome.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them in the context of clinical effectiveness or performance as an AI/ML device.
Here's a breakdown of why this information isn't available in the provided text:
- Device Type: This is a physical, electrical stimulator, not an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic device. The submission is for a medical device seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.
- Focus of the Submission: The 510(k) submission primarily focuses on comparing the technological characteristics of the new device to the predicate device to demonstrate that it is as safe and effective. It highlights aspects like intended use, indications for use, anatomical site utilized, energy used, materials, biocompatibility, electrical safety, mechanical safety, and adherence to various electrical and safety standards.
- Absence of Clinical Performance Data: The document explicitly states: "Clinical Tests: No new clinical studies have been submitted as part of this Premarket Notification." This confirms that no studies were conducted to measure specific performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.) against acceptance criteria for a clinical outcome.
- "Acceptance Criteria" in this context: The "acceptance criteria" here refer to the regulatory requirements and standards the device must meet (e.g., IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility) to be deemed substantially equivalent and safe for marketing, not performance metrics related to a diagnostic or therapeutic outcome.
Based on the provided text, I cannot complete the requested tables and information because the document does not present a study proving the device meets performance-based acceptance criteria in the way typically expected for AI/ML devices or studies evaluating clinical effectiveness metrics.
The text only provides a summary of non-clinical tests demonstrating compliance with safety standards and a comparison of technological characteristics to a predicate device.
