Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text.
The Gnesis EMS Plus device is a Powered Muscle Stimulator. The provided FDA 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through non-clinical performance and safety testing against recognized electrical and medical device standards. There is no information about an AI component or a study involving human readers or comparative effectiveness in the traditional sense of AI system evaluation. The "acceptance criteria" here relate to meeting established safety and performance standards for powered muscle stimulators and demonstrating similar technological characteristics and intended use as predicate devices.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The provided document describes non-clinical testing in a laboratory setting. There is no "test set" in terms of patient data or clinical imaging. The "test set" for this device would refer to the physical device and its components undergoing engineering and electrical testing.
- Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of clinical or AI performance data. The device itself (Gnesis EMS Plus) was the "sample" for the non-clinical tests.
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by an accredited laboratory (SGS Tecnos Spain) in accordance with international and European standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, UNE-EN). This is engineering and safety testing, not human data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts
This information is not applicable as the device is not an AI system being evaluated for diagnostic performance against a medical ground truth. The "ground truth" here is adherence to engineering and safety standards, verified by testing laboratories and the technical specifications of the device.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This is not applicable. There was no need for adjudication as the testing involved objective measurements against established technical standards, not subjective interpretations requiring expert consensus.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done, and is not applicable to this device. This device is a powered muscle stimulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not done, and is not applicable to this device. This device is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm or AI. The "performance" assessment was through non-clinical testing of its electrical and safety characteristics against recognized standards.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's acceptance is based on compliance with established international and European consensus standards for electrical medical equipment and powered muscle stimulators (e.g., IEC 60601 series, IEC 62304, ISO 14971). These standards define acceptable limits for electrical output, safety, EMC, software lifecycle, and risk management.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not Applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI model, there is no ground truth established for one. The device's design and parameters were developed based on engineering principles and compliance with existing standards.
