Electrical stimulation delivered by the device is intended for the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and or management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain.
VT-300 device is portable and battery operated. VT-300 Device is comprised of a PCBA and a lithium-ion battery enclosed in a polycarbonate housing. The device's dimensions are 2.1 inches wide, 3.3 inches long, and 0.75 inch in height.
Vecttor VT-300 provides Interferential Current Therapy. Eight electrodes attached to a pair of lead wires are intended to be positioned on the patient's body to deliver four channels of current from VT-300 dual output jacks. Temperature sensors continually monitor finger surface temperatures with the intention of identifying and then applying an Interferential Current Therapy level that results in specified temperature increases.
The user controls the VT-300 device using Vecttor Mobile App which is a mobile application downloadable on Bluetooth enabled mobile devices using Android or iOS operating systems from the Google Play or Apple App store. Vecttor Mobile App provides the necessary user interface to establish connection to the VT-300 device via Bluetooth, and operate VT-300 device to provide interferential current therapy.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Vecttor VT-300 device, which is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief. The document mainly focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Vecttor VT-200) based on technological characteristics and non-clinical performance testing.
Crucially, this document states: "No clinical tests are being submitted, referenced, or relied on in the premarket notification submission for a determination of substantial equivalence."
This means that the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, specifically related to clinical performance (e.g., human reader performance, ground truth establishment, sample sizes for medical imaging AI/ML models), is not present in this document.
The "acceptance criteria" presented are related to the device's technical specifications and compliance with recognized standards, not its clinical efficacy or AI/ML performance.
Therefore, I cannot provide the detailed information requested in the prompt based on the provided text, as it pertains to a different type of device clearance (hardware-based equivalence) and explicitly states the absence of clinical test data.
If the prompt were for an AI/ML medical device, the information requested would be highly relevant. However, for this specific device (a TENS unit), the clearance pathway does not require such studies to demonstrate substantial equivalence if predicate devices exist and technical specifications can be shown to be equivalent or safer.

The Avid IF2 Interferential Stimulator, Model AV-IF19A is indicated for use in the following applications:
- -Symptomatic relief of post-surgical and/or post traumatic acute pain
- -Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain
-Relaxation of muscle spasms
-Maintaining and increasing range of motion
-Increases local blood circulation
The Avid IF2, Model AV-IF19A is an Interferential Stimulator that produces a low electrical current that is transmitted via lead wires to electrodes placed on the skin in the area predetermined by a clinician. Operating parameters can be adjusted throughout their range by a trained clinician but the end-user is limited to protocol selection and amplitude. The user interface consists of an LCD display and a keypad.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Avid IF2 Interferential Stimulator, Model AV-IF19A. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a performance study against specific acceptance criteria for a new clinical claim or an AI algorithm.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design for proving device performance (including sample size, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance), and ground truth establishment cannot be extracted from this document.
This document describes a device based on well-established technology (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for pain relief) and demonstrates its similarity to previously cleared devices. It relies on device specification comparison and waveform analysis to prove substantial equivalence, not clinical performance data derived from patient studies or AI algorithm validation.
However, I can extract the information that is present, which primarily revolves around the comparative specifications used to demonstrate "equivalency" rather than "acceptance criteria" for a novel performance claim.
Here's an attempt to frame the available information in the context of your request, highlighting what is present and what is missing:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence to Predicates)
The "acceptance criteria" in this context are not typically quantitative metrics for clinical performance for a novel claim but rather a demonstration that the new device's technical specifications and operational characteristics are substantially equivalent to predicates. The study proving this involves comparing the new device's outputs and functionalities to those of the predicate devices.

Differences from Predicate | Changes do not affect intended use or alter fundamental scientific technology. | Differences noted: new housing design, firmware/software/operation interface change (digital to analog), maximum intensity adjustment range changed from 60mA to 70mA, operation modes reduced from 9 to 4. Conclusion: "verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device. In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The summary does not provide details on a specific "test set" in the context of clinical or performance data for the device. The testing mentioned largely refers to engineering verification and validation against standards and comparisons to the predicate device's specifications. Thus, there is no disclosed sample size or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a clinical or performance "test set" in the sense of patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided in the submission. The submission focuses on substantial equivalence through engineering changes and compliance with standards, not on clinical performance evaluated against expert-established ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided. As there is no clinical or performance "test set" with ground truth established by experts discussed, an adjudication method is not applicable here.
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
A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a stimulator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretive tool that would involve "human readers" or AI assistance in that context.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This refers to an "algorithm only" performance study, typically for AI or software-based diagnostic devices. The Gemore IF stimulator is a physical electrical stimulation device. While it has firmware/software, the primary "performance" is the electrical output. The summary indicates "software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance," but this is about the software itself functioning correctly, not about a standalone clinical performance evaluation of an algorithm in the sense of AI.

The device is an interferential stimulator with TENS indications used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain. It is intended for use on the order of a physician only.
The Everyway IF-908 Interferential stimulator is the device which generates the small ture-sine pulses of electrical current. The generated current may be delivered to the patient skin and/or underlying nerves through the cable and electrode placed on skin. Through the current stimulation the chronic and/or acute pain is to be relieved
The Everyway IF-809 interferential stimulator consists mainly of two parts: the stimulus generator, and electrode. The stimulus generator generates the output current specified as the input of controller. The output port transmits the output current to the electrode, which is attached to the patient's skin so as to transmit this stimulus current to the patient for pain relief
The stimulation current is generated in such a way that the frequency in channel 1 is fixed, but frequency in channel 2 is adjustable. Also the output amplitude is also adjustable. Those adjustable parameters could provide user some stimulation output change depending upon the condition of patients according to the prescription of physician. In general IF-908 is the prescribtion device, which needs the physician instruction for stimulation treatment.
IF-908 provides two different alternative power supply system. 9V internal battery, 9V rechargeable battery pack charged by adaptor. The operator may recharge 9V battery pack for long term use via the power rechargeable battery system of IF-908. The battery pack can not be charged during operation via using 9V battery pack power.

The INF 4160 PLUS is used for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain.
INF 4160 PLUS is an Interferential Current Therapy Device. It generates a set of symmetric sinusoidal electrical signals which are delivered to the user or patient through lead cables to the electrode pads placed on the skin. The electric signals stimulate the nerves underneath. The symptomatic relief from chronic intractable pain can be obtained from this electrical stimulation.
This device, the INF 4160 PLUS, is being cleared through a 510(k) submission, which means it asserts substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This type of submission often focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than performing de novo clinical studies with specific acceptance criteria as might be seen for novel devices.
Based on the provided document, here's a breakdown:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Safety: Compliance with EN60601-1 Safety requirement | INF 4160 PLUS complies with EN60601-1. |
EMC Requirements: Compliance with EN60601-1-2 EMC requirements | INF 4160 PLUS complies with EN60601-1-2. |
Quality System: Design control follows FDA quality system requirement | Design control follows FDA quality system requirement. |
Software Verification: Software verification carried out according to FDA software guidance | Software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance. |
Operating Principle: Same as predicate device (IF-4000) | The operating principle is the same. |
Intended Use: Same as predicate device | The intended use is the same. |
Power Sourcing Method: Same as predicate device (battery or AC adaptor) | The power sourcing method is the same; both can operate with battery or AC adaptor. |
Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The document states: "INF4160 PLUS complies with the following standard. EN60601-1 Safety requirement EN60601-1-2 EMC requirements." and "The design control follows the FDA quality system requirement and the software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance."
The primary "study" or demonstration of meeting acceptance criteria for this 510(k) submission is the comparison to the predicate device (IF-4000 [510(k) No.: K952683]) and compliance with relevant safety and EMC standards. There was no clinical testing performed for this device, as explicitly stated in section 8. The conclusion relies on the similarity in operating principle, intended use, and power sourcing to the predicate device, along with adherence to non-clinical standards and quality system requirements.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The device is an interferential stimulator with TENS indications used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain.
The WL-2206B and WL-2106E are the device which generates the small true-sine pulses of electrical current. The generated current may be delivered to the patient skin and/or underlying nerves through the cable and electrode placed on skin.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the IF series True sine interferential stimulator:
First, it is important to note that the provided document is a 510(k) Summary, which typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed clinical study demonstrating new efficacy or specific performance metrics with acceptance criteria, as one might find for a novel or higher-risk device.
Based on the information provided, here's a breakdown:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria with detailed performance metrics for the device's clinical efficacy (e.g., pain reduction scores, percentage of patients achieving a certain relief level). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the demonstration of substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device and compliance with relevant standards.
Therefore, the table would look like this, highlighting the lack of specific quantitative clinical performance criteria in this type of submission:
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (from document) | Reported Device Performance (from document) |
---|---|---|
Intended Use | The device's intended use must be the same as the predicate device. | "The device is an interferential stimulator with TENS indications used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain," which is explicitly stated as the intended use, implying it matches the predicate. |
Technological Characteristics | The device's fundamental technological characteristics must be substantially equivalent to the predicate device. | "The WL-2206B and WL-2106E have output characteristics and controls that are identical to those of the predicate device." (WL-2206B is functionally identical; WL-2106E has different control interface but same output characteristics). "Verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device." |
Safety and Effectiveness | The device must demonstrate the same safety and effectiveness as the predicate device. | "Verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device." "In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device." |
Compliance with Standards | Compliance with applicable voluntary standards. | "Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ANSI/AAMI, NS4-1985, as well as EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2 requirement." |
Software Verification | Software verification according to FDA software guidance. | "In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not describe a clinical test set with human subjects as part of its substantial equivalence argument. The "verification and validation tests" mentioned are likely engineering and performance bench tests rather than clinical trials.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable, as there's no mention of a clinical test set with human data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. There's no mention of a test set requiring expert ground truth establishment for clinical outcomes. The "ground truth" for the engineering tests would be derived from physical measurements and specifications compared against the standards.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not applicable, as there's no mention of a human-reviewed test set requiring adjudication.
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 device is an interferential stimulator, which is a physical therapy device. It does not involve "readers" or "AI assistance" in the context of diagnostic imaging analysis. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant to this device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI-driven or algorithmic diagnostic device. The device's "performance" is its ability to generate electrical current as specified and safely, not an interpretation of data by an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- The de facto "ground truth" for this submission is the predicate device (WL-2206A2 K060975). The new devices are considered substantially equivalent if they meet the same specifications and perform safely and effectively as the predicate device, and comply with relevant voluntary standards (ANSI/AAMI, EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2) for electrical safety and performance.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.
In summary:
This 510(k) submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and compliance with established performance and safety standards, rather than presenting a novel clinical study with quantitative performance metrics and acceptance criteria for a new clinical claim. The "study" mentioned refers to "verification and validation tests" which are typically engineering and bench tests to confirm the new device's technical specifications and safety are comparable to the predicate and comply with recognized standards.
