    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for Shenzhen Yicai Health Technology Co. Ltd's Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, particularly for an AI/ML medical device.

    This document is a standard clearance letter for a physical medical device (TENS/EMS) and focuses on regulatory aspects like:

    • Substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
    • General controls (registration, listing, GMP, labeling, misbranding).
    • Quality System (QS) regulation.
    • Unique Device Identification (UDI) requirements.
    • Indications for Use.

    It does not detail performance studies conducted to establish effectiveness or safety beyond establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate. Specifically, it lacks any mention of:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
    • Sample sizes for test sets or data provenance.
    • Number/qualifications of experts for ground truth.
    • Adjudication methods.
    • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies or effect sizes for human readers.
    • Standalone algorithm performance.
    • Type of ground truth used.
    • Training set sample size or ground truth establishment for training.

    Therefore,Based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter, I cannot describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria in the manner requested. The letter is for a physical medical device (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) and outlines its regulatory clearance, not the details of a performance study, especially not one applicable to an AI/ML device as your detailed questions suggest.

    The document does not contain any information related to:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance.
    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance.
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications.
    4. Adjudication method for the test set.
    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or its effect size.
    6. If a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done.
    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.).
    8. The sample size for the training set.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established.

    This is a clearance letter for a device whose mechanism of action is electrical stimulation, not an AI/ML algorithm. The information you are seeking would typically be found in the 510(k) summary or the full submission, which are not included in this clearance letter.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. This type of filing does not contain detailed clinical study data or acceptance criteria in the format typically used for AI/ML device evaluations. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices primarily through non-clinical performance and a comparison of technical specifications.

    Therefore, I cannot extract information related to acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, as these are not typically included or required in a non-clinical 510(k) submission for a TENS device.

    However, I can extract the available information regarding the device's technical specifications and how its performance is compared to predicate devices, focusing on the "Substantial Equivalence Comparison" tables.

    Here's a summary of the available information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly define "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance. Instead, it compares the subject device's technical specifications to those of predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence. The "reported device performance" refers to the subject device's specifications and its compliance with relevant international standards.

    Here's a table summarizing key technical specifications and their comparison to predicate devices, drawing from the "Substantial Equivalence Comparison" tables. "Acceptance Criteria" here are implicitly defined by the ranges and characteristics observed in the predicate devices and compliance with relevant standards.

    Regarding the study that proves the device meets (these implicit) acceptance criteria:

    The document relies on non-clinical performance testing to demonstrate that the subject device (K6106) meets the safety and effectiveness requirements, primarily by showing compliance with recognized international standards and substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.

    The studies referenced are:

    • Compliance with International Standards for Medical Electrical Equipment:
      • IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012+A2:2020 (General Requirements for Safety)
      • IEC 60601-2-10:2012+A1:2016 (Particular requirements for nerve and muscle stimulators)
      • IEC 60601-1-2:2014+A1:2020 (Electromagnetic compatibility)
      • IEC 60601-1-11:2015 (Requirements for medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment)
    • Software Validation: FDA software validation guidance "General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Document issued on: January 11, 2002". (Though no specific study details are provided, compliance with this guidance is stated).
    • Guidance for Product-Specific Requirements: "Guidance Document for Powered Muscle Stimulator 510(k)s Document issued on: June 9, 1999."

    The general conclusion is that "The electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, software verification, and output specifications information provided is sufficient to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator, model: K6106 is nearly identical to the predicate devices, differences in their characteristics do not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness with identical indications for use and essentially identical technological characteristics..."

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable. The tests performed were non-clinical bench tests on the device itself, not tests involving human subjects or data sets.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable, as no external data was used for performance validation in terms of a clinical test set. The provenance relates to the device's design specifications and its manufacturing processes.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. As this was a non-clinical bench test study, there were no human experts establishing a "ground truth" for a test set in the way one would for diagnostic imaging studies. The "ground truth" was established based on compliance with internationally recognized electrical safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series). The experts involved would be engineers and testing personnel qualified to perform and interpret these specific standards, 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:

    • Not applicable. There was no clinical test set requiring adjudication. The assessment was based on objective measurements and adherence to engineering standards.

    5. 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 filing is for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS device), which directly manages pain through electrical stimulation.

    AI/ML Overview

    The document describes the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets the criteria.

    Note: The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. As such, the "acceptance criteria" discussed are primarily related to general device safety and performance according to established standards and the "study" is a non-clinical testing report to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a clinical efficacy trial. The information available in a 510(k) summary for a TENS device typically does not include the detailed breakdown of acceptance criteria and multi-reader studies as might be found for more complex AI/ML-driven diagnostic devices.

    Here's the breakdown of the information based on the provided document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    For this specific device (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator), "acceptance criteria" are predominantly demonstrated through compliance with recognized electrical safety and performance standards, and comparison to predicate devices. There aren't explicit numerical targets for accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity as might be found for a diagnostic AI model.

    Differences (modes, intensity levels, size, weight)Determined not to lead to safety/effectiveness problems; output parameters similar, passed IEC 60601-2-10

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of a dataset for an AI model. For this TENS device, the "testing" refers to non-clinical verification and validation activities conducted on the physical device itself.

    • Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML test dataset. The testing was performed on the device prototypes/production samples.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "data" are results from engineering and electrical tests on the device, not patient data. The electrode patches relied on previous FDA clearance (K221589), implying their safety and biocompatibility data would originate from the studies for that specific clearance.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML diagnostic device that requires expert-established ground truth from medical images/data. The ground truth for this device's performance is compliance with engineering standards and direct measurement of its electrical outputs.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There is no expert review or adjudication process described for the device's functional performance testing.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    No. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the impact of an AI system on human reader performance, typically in diagnostic imaging. This device is a TENS unit, not an AI diagnostic tool.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    Yes, in the sense that the device's electrical outputs and safety features were evaluated independently for compliance with standards. This is not an AI algorithm, so the term "standalone" performance isn't directly analogous, but the device's intrinsic characteristics were tested.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. It details the device's technical specifications and a comparison to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence for regulatory clearance. This document does not describe an AI-powered medical device or an associated study for complex acceptance criteria like those involving AI performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment by experts).

    Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding AI device acceptance criteria and study details from the provided text. The device is a physical medical device (TENS) and the "study" referred to in the document is a series of non-clinical bench tests to compare it to a predicate device, and to verify safety and performance standards.

    Here's a breakdown of why I cannot fulfill your request based on the provided text:

    • No AI Component: The device is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator, a physical product that applies electrical current. There is no mention of any AI or machine learning component.
    • No Diagnostic/Interpretive Task: The device is for pain relief, not for image analysis, diagnosis, risk prediction, or any other task that would typically involve acceptance criteria like sensitivity, specificity, or the need for ground truth established by experts.
    • No Human-in-the-Loop Study: Since there's no AI component, there's no MRMC (Multi-Reader Multi-Case) study described for human readers improving with AI assistance.
    • No Standalone Algorithm Performance: There is no algorithm to assess in a standalone capacity.
    • No Training Set/Test Set (in the AI context): The concepts of training and test sets as they apply to machine learning models are not relevant to the clearance of this physical device. The "test set" here refers to the device itself undergoing bench tests.
    • No Ground Truth Establishment by Experts: Ground truth for AI models is often established by expert consensus (e.g., radiologists reviewing images). For this TENS device, "ground truth" would refer to its physical and electrical properties meeting specified standards, validated through engineering tests, not human interpretation.

    Summary of what the document DOES describe in terms of performance and comparison:

    The document describes acceptance criteria in the context of substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device and compliance with voluntary standards for electrical medical equipment.

    • Acceptance Criteria (Implicit via Comparison to Predicate and Standards Compliance): The acceptance criteria are primarily demonstrated by showing that the new device's specifications (e.g., power source, output channels, waveform, voltage, current, safety features) are either identical, similar with acceptable differences (justified by safety and effectiveness analyses), or meet the requirements of relevant electrical safety and performance standards (ANSI AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10). The reported device performance is presented as compliance with these standards and the specific electrical output values listed in the comparison table.

    • Study That "Proves" Compliance: The "study" here is a series of non-clinical bench tests.

      • Sample Size: This is not a study with a "sample size" in the statistical sense of patient data. It refers to testing the physical device itself.
      • Data Provenance: Not applicable as it's not a data-driven AI study. The tests are bench tests performed on the device.
      • Experts and Ground Truth: Not applicable in the way you've defined them for an AI study. Electrical engineers and regulatory compliance experts would be involved in setting and verifying the test standards.
      • Adjudication Method: Not applicable.
      • MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study: No.
      • Standalone Performance: The "standalone" performance here refers to the device successfully passing all required electrical and safety tests independently (i.e., not reliant on human interpretation for its function).
      • Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" is compliance with established engineering and medical device safety standards for TENS devices (e.g., maximum current density limits, electrical isolation, waveform characteristics).
      • Training Set/Ground Truth for Training: Not applicable.

    If you have a document describing an AI medical device, please provide that, and I will be able to answer your questions with the level of detail you are seeking.

The purpose is to temporarily relieve pain. By adjusting the output voltage and frequency to produce the low-voltage electrical pulses and achieve the effect of electrotherapy. Voltage regulation is realized by the Boost Converter circuit, which controls the voltage amplitude by modifying the PWM control circuit. After that, the voltage is released to the electrode through the analog circuit, and the time change of the output voltage is controlled by modifying the PWM frequency to achieve the specific electrotherapy effect.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device. This type of regulatory submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.

    Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding:

    • Acceptance criteria in the context of a clinical study or specific performance metrics for the device's intended use.
    • A study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria. No clinical performance study is described.
    • Sample size for test sets or training sets.
    • Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
    • Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
    • Adjudication method.
    • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or its effect size.
    • Standalone algorithm performance.
    • Type of ground truth used.
    • How ground truth for the training set was established.

    Instead, the document details non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective as its predicate devices, based on compliance with recognized consensus standards.

    However, I can extract information related to the device's technical specifications and how they compare to predicate devices, which implicitly serves as the "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" for the substantial equivalence claim.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for Substantial Equivalence) and Reported Device Performance:

    The "acceptance criteria" for this 510(k) submission are implicitly defined by the technical specifications of the predicate devices. The "reported device performance" refers to the subject device's technical specifications. The discussion of differences (D1-D17) explains why these differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am unable to provide information about the acceptance criteria and study proving device efficacy based on the provided text. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS), Model: KTR-405.

    Here's why:

    • 510(k) Clearance vs. Clinical Efficacy: A 510(k) clearance primarily focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, not necessarily extensive clinical efficacy trials. The manufacturer demonstrates that the new device is as safe and effective as a previously cleared device.
    • Lack of Clinical Study Details: The document explicitly states "Clinical information: Not applicable" (page 10). This confirms that no clinical studies were performed or submitted for this particular 510(k) application to prove the device's performance against specific acceptance criteria in patient populations.
    • Non-Clinical Studies: The "Non-clinical studies and tests performed" section (page 9-10) focuses on engineering and safety standards (e.g., IEC standards for electrical safety, ISO standards for biocompatibility, software verification). These are crucial for safety but do not provide clinical performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or changes in patient outcomes.
    • Predicate Device Comparison: The comparison table between the subject device and the predicate device (pages 6-7) mainly highlights similarities in intended use, regulations, and basic technical specifications. It does not include performance data or acceptance criteria that would typically be found in a clinical study report.

    Therefore, the provided text does not contain the information needed to answer your questions about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance as you've requested. The "reported device performance" in the context of this document is adherence to safety and performance standards for TENS devices, rather than clinical effectiveness metrics.
