TENS:
To be used for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore or aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, upper extremities (arm), and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.
EMS:
It is intended for muscle conditioning, used for stimulating abdomen muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance.
The Hi-Dow Wireless TENS/EMS System is a battery operated wireless pulse generator that uses radiofrequency signals sent from a wireless remote control unit to wireless receivers attached to the electrodes(s), which are attached to the skin at the area to be treated. The wireless remote controls the intensity and mode functions of the receiver. When used in TENS Modes, the electrical impulses generated by the receivers stimulate the nerves that are causing pain resulting in gentle electrical sensations instead of pain. When used in EMS modes, the electrical impulses generated by the receivers produce muscle contractions, these contractions help to condition and improve the muscles.
The Hi-Dow Wireless TENS/EMS System is a double-channel and 4 modes muscle stimulation system that helps to relieve minor muscular aches and pains.
The output of both channels can be adjusted individually for intensity in 20 levels and the treatment time is 45 minutes.
The device is powered by rechargeable Lithium Batteries which are permanently built into the main unit and can be recharged with the charging unit supplied with the device.
The Device consists of an electronic stimulatory module which generates the required stimulation signals, 3 sets of electrode pads and a plug-in charging unit.
The electrodes are designed for single-patient/multiple application use. Because of the adhesive nature of the biocompatible conductive hydro gel, no securing materials are required to secure the device to the patient's skin. The electrodes snap onto the receiver.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Hi-Dow Wireless TENS/EMS System, Model HD-5N. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and studies in the traditional sense of a clinical trial for novel device approval.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. The "test set" here refers to the actual device undergoing engineering and performance testing against standards, not a clinical data set. The document does not specify the number of units tested.
- Data Provenance: The tests for biocompatibility, electrical safety, EMC, and software verification/validation are typically conducted in a laboratory setting. The country of origin of the data is not specified, but the manufacturing entity is "Hi-Dow Electron Technology(Hefei) Inc., Ltd." which suggests China. These are prospective tests conducted on the device itself. No patient data provenance is relevant for this type of submission focused on engineering performance.
3. 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)
- Not applicable. This 510(k) submission is for an electrical stimulation device (TENS/EMS) and relies on objective measurements against engineering standards and comparison to predicate devices, not on expert consensus for "ground truth" derived from clinical data (e.g., image interpretation). Experts involved would be those certifying compliance with the listed standards (e.g., electrical engineers, biocompatibility specialists), but their number and specific qualifications are not detailed in this summary.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Note: The "acceptance criteria" here are that the JQ-5C's values fall within a range considered "substantially equivalent" to existing cleared devices. The document explicitly states: "The JQ-5C has modes that offer substantially equivalent technical specifications, features and effective results as the predicate listed." The differences are deemed "insignificant in the terms of safety or effectiveness."
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
This document does not describe a clinical test set with a sample size for evaluating device performance in terms of its intended use (pain relief, muscle stimulation). The "test set" in this context refers to the electrical characteristics of the device being compared against predicate devices. No human subject data or specific "test set" in the sense of clinical cases is mentioned for performance evaluation.
The provenance of the data is from non-clinical tests measuring the electrical outputs of the device and comparing them to those of predicate devices. There is no mention of country of origin for such comparative electrical data, nor is it described as retrospective or prospective in a clinical sense.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. This type of submission (510(k) for a TENS/PMS device) relies on engineering specifications and comparison to predicate devices, not on expert consensus for clinical ground truth or AI model validation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There was no clinical test set requiring adjudication in the context of this submission. The comparison is based purely on technical specifications.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size
No. This document does not mention any MRMC comparative effectiveness study. This type of study is more common for diagnostic imaging AI devices, not for a powered muscle stimulator/TENS device seeking substantial equivalence based on technical specifications.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Not applicable. The Hi-Dow JQ-5C is a physical medical device, not an algorithm, and the submission is focused on its electrical characteristics and safety, not an AI or software algorithm's standalone performance.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" implicitly used is the technical specifications and cleared status of the predicate devices. The Hi-Dow JQ-5C is deemed safe and effective because its electrical stimulation parameters and intended uses fall within the established and cleared parameters of similar devices already on the market.
Additionally, the document cites:
- "No adverse events have been reported since 2007 with over 300,000 units sold without a prescription in Europe and Asia." This serves as real-world evidence of safety.
- "A number of articles in peer-reviewed publications, which demonstrate that electrical stimulation does improve muscle performance as well as temporary pain reduction." This refers to general scientific literature, not specific to the Hi-Dow JQ-5C, to support the effectiveness of the technology (electrical stimulation) for the stated indications.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
