    Intended Use

    Air Compression Leg Massager is indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and for temporary increase in circulation to the treated areas in people who are in good health. Air Compression Leg Massager simulates kneading and stroking of tissues by using an inflatable garment.

    Device Description

    Air Compression Leg Massager is a portable and rechargeable device. It is intended to be an over-the-counter portable inflatable tube massage system which simulates kneading of tissue with the hards by use of inflatable presure cuffs. It can be used to temporarily increase blood circulation and temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and pains.

    Air Compression Leg Massager supplied clean and non-sterile, utilizes the pneumatically controlled by an electronically controlled air pump unit. A pump, battery and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case of Controller.

    Function buttons and light emitting diode (LED) indicators on the user interface. There is a charging port at the bottom of Controller for connecting the alternating current (AC) adapter plug.

    Each leg wap has an air hose for connection to Controller, and both encase a 2-chamber air bladder inside. It can be wrapped and massaged separately by the two chambers. The soft medical fabric of wraps provides patient comfort and biocompatibility compliance.

    Air Compression Leg Massager is also capable of providing the warming and vibration, these are included for an improved user experience.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text does not contain detailed information about acceptance criteria for device performance or a study that specifically proves the device meets those criteria. The document is a 510(k) summary for an Air Compression Leg Massager, primarily focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a performance study with specific acceptance criteria and results for the subject device.

    The "Performance Data" section (VIII) lists several non-clinical tests performed to support the substantial equivalence determination, but these are primarily related to safety, electromagnetic compatibility, battery safety, and software validation, not the direct clinical performance of improving circulation or relieving aches and pains.

    Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from this document. However, I can summarize what is present:

    What is present in the document:

    • Non-clinical tests performed: Biocompatibility, Electrical Safety and EMC, Battery Safety, and Software Verification and Validation.
    • Result of these tests: They "passed" or "demonstrated that all software requirement specifications are met and all software hazards have been mitigated to acceptable risk levels."
    • Overall Conclusion: The device is considered "as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the primary predicate device and secondary predicate device" based on this analysis and non-clinical tests.

    What is NOT present in the document (and thus cannot be filled in):

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for clinical effectiveness (e.g., specific metrics for pain relief or circulation increase).
    • Sample size used for a performance test set.
    • Data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a performance test set.
    • Number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth (as no clinical performance study is detailed).
    • Adjudication method for a test set.
    • Information on a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or effect size.
    • Information on a standalone (algorithm only) performance study.
    • The type of ground truth used for clinical performance.
    • The sample size for the training set (as it's a physical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the described sense).
    • How the ground truth for the training set was established.

    Based on the available information, here's a summary of the compliance for the listed non-clinical tests:

    Test CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Implied by standard compliance)Reported Device Performance and Conclusion
    Biocompatibility TestingCompliance with ISO 10993-5 (in vitro cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (skin sensitization), and ISO 10993-23 (skin irritation) indicating the body-contacting materials (Nylon polyester for leg wraps, ABS, PC for enclosure) are safe for intended contact. This implies non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing properties."The following testing was performed to, and passed, including: ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-23." This confirms the device meets the biocompatibility requirements.
    Electrical Safety and EMCCompliance with IEC 60601-1 (general requirements for basic safety and essential performance), IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic disturbances - requirements and tests), and IEC 60601-1-11 (requirements for home healthcare environment). This implies the device safely operates electrically, does not interfere with other devices, and is safe for home use."Electrical safety and EMC testing was performed to, and passed, the following standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11." This confirms compliance with international safety and EMC standards.
    Battery SafetyCompliance with IEC 62133-2 (safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications - Part 2: Lithium systems). This implies the internal lithium battery meets safety standards to prevent hazards like overheating, fire, or explosion.The testing for IEC 62133-2 was performed and passed, implying the battery components are safe.
    Software Verification and ValidationBasic documentation consistent with 510(k) requirements. System validation testing to demonstrate that all software requirement specifications are met and all software hazards have been mitigated to acceptable risk levels. This implies the software (firmware/microprocessor control) functions as intended and is free from critical defects that could pose a safety risk."Software documentation consistent with basic documentation this 510(k). System validation testing presented in this 510(k) demonstrated that all software requirement specifications are met and all software hazards have been mitigated to acceptable risk levels." This confirms the software's functional and safety integrity as per the established requirements.

    Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria:

    The document states that the substantial equivalence determination is supported by these non-clinical performance data. It does not describe a clinical study measuring the device's efficacy in achieving "temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains" or "temporary increase in circulation," as the FDA often relies on technological similarity to a predicate device for this type of claim, assuming the predicate's effectiveness. The listed tests are primarily aimed at ensuring the device's safety and fundamental operational integrity as an inflatable tube massager.

    Therefore, for the clinical performance claims (pain relief, circulation increase), the "study" is implicitly the demonstration of substantial equivalence to already cleared predicate devices that have established these claims, rather than a de novo clinical trial with specific clinical acceptance criteria for the subject device.

    Extremity (UE), Pro Lower Extremity (LE), Pro Durable Medical Equipment (DME))

    Regulation Number: 21 CFR 890.5975
    Primary Regulation:
    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    Buzzy® is intended to control pain associated with needle procedures (e.g., injections, vascular access, cannulation, lab draws, blood donation, dialysis, cosmetic and dental injections) and the temporary relief of minor injuries (muscle or tendon aches, splinters, and bee stings).

    VibraCool® is intended for the temporary relief of minor injuries (muscle or tendon aches) and the treatment of myofascial pain post-surgery. It is also indicated for use prior to or during physical therapy to treat myofascial pain caused by trigger points, restricted motion and muscle tension.

    Device Description

    Buzzy® and VibraCool® devices are external use, skin contacting vibration devices that can be used with heat (for VibralCool® Flex, VibraCool® Pro UE and VibraCool® Pro LE)or cold therapy (for all Buzzy® and VibraCool® models) to provide pain relief. The brand names encompass the same two shapes of vibrating devices using the same motor. Buzzy Pro and VibraCool Pro are a new shape with the same motor submitted in this 510K. To accommodate various uses and anatomical locations, the Buzzy and VibraCool devices are available in three different shapes and are provided with different sets of accessories.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria for the Buzzy® and VibraCool® devices, not a medical imaging AI device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, and MRMC studies is not applicable to this document.

    However, I can extract the relevant information concerning the device's performance validation based on the provided text.

    Here's the breakdown of what is available and what is not:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a tabulated format with numerical targets that the device had to meet for pain reduction. Instead, it refers to a clinical study that evaluated the device's effect on pain.

    Implicit "Acceptance Criteria" (based on study results):

    • Reduced pain during/after vaccination. The study results show a statistically significant reduction in pain scores for the Buzzy group compared to the control.

    Reported Device Performance (from Clinical Study - Table 4):

    Performance MetricReported Device Performance (Buzzy Group)Control Group PerformanceStatistical Significance
    PulseLower after injectionNot specifiedp=.037 (lower for Buzzy)
    Average Pain (FLACC Score) During Vaccination6.07 (SD = 2.34)9.07 (SD = 1.2)p=.001
    Average Pain (FLACC Score) After Vaccination1.13 (SD = 1.53)4.2 (SD = 1.24)p=.001

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

    • Sample Size: N = 60 (for the clinical study in infants).
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin. It indicates it was a "Prospective, randomized study" of infants receiving the MMR vaccine.

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

    • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated as "experts" for ground truth, but "nurses and parents" rated the pain using the FLACC scale. No specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience) are provided for these raters.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Adjudication Method: Not specified. Pain was rated by nurses and parents, but it's not clear if there was any conciliation or adjudication process if their ratings differed.

    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

    • MRMC Study: No, this is not an AI device. The study evaluated the direct effect of the Buzzy device on pain compared to a control.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • Standalone Performance: Not applicable, as this is a non-AI therapeutic device.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    • Type of Ground Truth: Pain scores rated by nurses and parents using the FLACC (Faces, Legs, Arms, Cry, Console) scale, which is an observational pain scale. This could be considered observational/clinical assessment data as ground truth.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is a non-AI device; there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The clinical study described in Table 4 is the validation study for the device's efficacy.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    • Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI model.

    Summary of Non-AI Related Information from Document:

    The document outlines the FDA's 510(k) clearance for Buzzy® and VibraCool® devices based on their substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K130631 Buzzy®). The primary changes and justifications for substantial equivalence include:

    • Addition of VibraCool models: Justified by using the same vibration device, external use, and supporting clinical data for vibration + heat/cold therapy for pain.
    • Addition of "Pro" lines (Buzzy Pro, VibraCool Pro): Justified as being identical in materials, motor, circuitry, functionality, and intended use, differing only in shape.
    • Updated Indications for Use: Clarified "needle procedures" for Buzzy with examples, and refined VibraCool's indications regarding myofascial pain, stating these clarifications do not introduce new questions of safety/effectiveness.
    • Expanded Patient Population: Buzzy with cold pack is now indicated for 1 year and older (vs. 4+), and VibraCool/Pro with hot pack for 12 years and older. This was supported by a clinical study.

    Non-Clinical Testing:

    • Temperature testing (device surface and skin surface).
    • Seal integrity/strength testing of hot packs.
    • Shelf stability tests of hot packs.
    • Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, CFR 47 FCC Part 15).

    Clinical Testing:

    • A prospective, randomized study evaluated the effect of Buzzy on pain in 60 infants (12-month olds) receiving the MMR vaccine.
    • Results: The Buzzy group showed significantly lower average pain scores (FLACC scale) during and after vaccination compared to the control group (p=.001 for both). Pulse was also lower after injection for Buzzy (p=.037).
    • Ground Truth: Pain rating by nurses and parents using the FLACC scale.

    The conclusion is that based on non-clinical testing and clinical evidence from published studies, the new and modified devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and are substantially equivalent to the predicate.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for the TheraFace LED device, asserting its substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or study details in the format requested.

    Specifically, the document states:

    Intended Use

    This device is intended for facial stimulation and is indicated for over-the-counter cosmetic use.

    Device Description

    SonicLift (Model: ST261) is a non-invasive facial toning device intended for at-home cosmetic use. It has two treatment modes - Vibration Mode and Micro-current Mode. In the Vibration Mode, mechanical vibration at the frequency of 108.7Hz can help to relax facial muscles. In the Micro-current Mode, the low voltage micro-current impulses are emitted from dual probes that are designed for optimal contact with faces of all shapes and sizes. SonicLift, Model: ST261 allows you to adjust the current output from 0 to 280 microamps for a personalized comfort level.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Pretika SonicLift, Model ST261. It aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices (NuFace and WAHL FRESH FACE) for facial stimulation and cosmetic use. The document focuses on demonstrating safety and performance through bench testing and comparison to existing standards, rather than a clinical study with specific performance metrics against an established ground truth that would be associated with typical diagnostic AI/ML device submissions.

    Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As this is a 510(k) for a physical device (facial stimulator) rather than a diagnostic AI/ML algorithm, the "acceptance criteria" are primarily related to safety and electrical performance standards, and comparison to predicate devices, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC. The "device performance" likewise refers to compliance with these standards and physical characteristics.

    Acceptance Criteria / TestSpecific CriteriaReported Device Performance / Result
    Biocompatibility
    Cytotoxicity TestNon-toxic ("no more than Grade 2" according to United States Pharmacopoeia for limited skin contacting)No toxicity to L929 cell. Passed.
    Skin Sensitization Test"Grade 0" according to United States Pharmacopoeia for limited skin contactingGrade 0. Passed.
    Skin Irritation Test"0-0.4 for Irritation Index" according to United States Pharmacopoeia for limited skin contacting0 for Irritation Index. Passed.
    Electrical SafetyCompliance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards.Comply with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-10. Passed.
    Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 standard.Comply with IEC 60601-1-2. Passed.
    Software Verification & ValidationCompliance with FDA "Guidance for Pre Market Submissions and for Software Contained in Medical Devices".Software verification and validation test conducted.
    Waveform TestVerify the output parameters of the device (Frequency, Max Output Voltage, Max Output Current, Net Charge, Pulse Width, Pulse Duration, etc.) in comparison to predicate devices and relevant FDA guidance. The detailed specific values are numerous, but the general criteria is that the differences "will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue" and comply with IEC 60601-2-10 and FDA guidance.Conducted and verified. Complies with standards.
    Intended UseMatching the intended use of predicate devices: facial stimulation for over-the-counter cosmetic use."SE" (Substantially Equivalent) to predicate devices.
    Technological CharacteristicsSubstantial equivalence to predicate devices in design, functional features, specifications, and materials, particularly regarding electrical and output parameters. Differences should not raise new safety or effectiveness issues.Various characteristics are compared, with notes explaining substantial equivalence despite minor differences (e.g., power source, number of modes, waveform).

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

    This submission is for a physical device and relies on bench testing and comparison to predicate devices, not an AI/ML algorithm that operates on a "test set" of patient data. Therefore, the concept of a "test set" with a sample size and data provenance in the context of an AI/ML device is not applicable here.

    • The biocompatibility tests (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation) would have involved specific biological samples (e.g., L929 cells, guinea pigs) as per ISO standards. However, the exact sample sizes for these biological tests are not provided in this summary.
    • The electrical safety, EMC, software, and waveform tests are engineering bench tests, not involving patient data.

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

    This information is not applicable. This device is not a diagnostic AI/ML device where "ground truth" for patient data would be established by medical experts for a test set. The "ground truth" for this device's safety and performance is based on compliance with established engineering and biocompatibility standards (IEC, ISO, USP) and comparison to predicate devices, which are defined by regulatory frameworks rather than expert consensus on specific cases.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable, as there is no "test set" of patient data requiring adjudication in the context of an AI/ML diagnostic device.

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

    No. This is not a diagnostic AI/ML device. MRMC studies are typically used to evaluate the performance of diagnostic devices (often imaging-based AI) compared to human readers.

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

    Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth," in the context of this device's submission, is compliance with recognized international standards for medical device safety and performance (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10), and the demonstrated substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices (NuFace, WAHL FRESH FACE). This is a regulatory "ground truth" rather than a clinical "ground truth" of disease presence/absence.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable, as this is not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" of data.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this device.

    Night Shift uses the same fundamental technology as a therapeutic massager (i.e., regulation number 890.5975

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The Night Shift is indicated for prescription use for the treatment of adult patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea with a non-supine apnea-hypopnea index

    Device Description

    The Night Shift is worn around the neck to reduce the amount of time the user sleeps in the supine position as a treatment for positional obstructive sleep apnea. Night Shift combines hardware and firmware to detect when the user attempts to sleep in the supine position and can initiate vibro-tactile feedback with increasing intensity until the user shifts to a non-supine position. The initiation of positional feedback from the Night Shift is turned on is programmable to allow the user to fall asleep (if they must) on their back. Each night the Night Shift is worn, it monitors sleep position (% time supine), behavioral sleep efficiency, and snoring levels (% time snoring > 40 and 50 dB) as well as the frequency, duration and intensity of the feedback (when applied). These data can be optionally transferred via the USB port to the Night Shift Web Portal where the user can generate a report to assess how well the positional feedback is working. A "trial" protocol can include one night with no feedback to establish a baseline and two nights with feedback to assess compliance/efficacy. Utilization information is saved on the device that allows reports to be generated that compares daily use by month and monthly averages for one year. The portal also allows the device to be reformatted (to eliminate all previously recorded data) for a new user, adjust the feedback settings to a new user's personal preferences, and/or upgrade the firmware. For large healthcare organizations that limit internet access, desktop software is provided as an alternative to the portal.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. Night Shift device, based on the provided text:

    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    EndpointAcceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformanceConclusion
    Effectiveness of Night Shift therapy (Primary)65% of PT compliant participants with baseline overall AHI > 10 and non-supine AHI 50% decrease in AHI.Met (85.2% vs. 65% target)
    Safety80% of participants will complete the study with no adverse events resulting in voluntary dropping.100% of compliant subjects successfully completed the study. No adverse events were reported.Met (100% vs. 80% target)
    Accuracy of Supine Position MeasurementComputation of percent time supine by Night Shift is within +/- 5% of the percent time supine by video recordings plus chest sensor in 73% of subjects.Night Shift was within 5% of chest/video supine time in 92% of the studies.Met (92% vs. 73% target)
    Treatment ComplianceAt least 80% of participants will be compliant (use Night Shift for a minimum of 5.5 hours/night or length of their time in bed, five nights/week).100% of the participants wore the Night Shift for a minimum of 20 nights across the 28 nights of intended use.Met (100% vs. 80% target)
    Reduction in Supine TimeAt least 70% of participants will average less than 15% time supine across the four weeks of home use.97% of the participants averaged less than 15% of time in bed in the supine position when therapy was delivered.Met (97% vs. 70% target)
    Improved Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS)50% of PT compliant participants will show an improved ESS of ≥ 2.50% of participants exhibited an improvement of 2 or more, and 50% showed no change. None of the ESS scores worsened by 2 or more.Met (50% vs. 50% target, with no worsening)
    Improved Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) totalFOSQ total will improve by ≥ 2 points in at least 50% of subjects.57% exhibited an improvement of 2 or more, 23% showed no change, and 20% showed a worsening of 2 or more.Met (57% vs. 50% target)
    Mean Sensitivity (sleep) and Specificity (wake) for Night ShiftThe mean sensitivity (sleep) and specificity (wake) for Night Shift will be 0.85 and 0.50, respectively.The endpoint was met based on the sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 58% across 65 studies.Met (90% sensitivity vs. 0.85, 58% specificity vs. 0.50)
    Night Shift Total Sleep Time (TST) within predicate range73% of subjects will be within the range of the predicate when subtracting PSG Total Sleep Time (TST) from Night Shift TST (i.e., range 151 and -129 minutes).99% of the studies had TST derived from Night Shift within the maximum error (based on two standard deviations of the TST error for the predicate device) vs. PSG TST.Met (99% vs. 73% target)
    Night Shift Sleep Efficiency (SE) within predicate range73% of subjects will be within the range of the predicate when subtracting PSG Sleep Efficiency (SE) from Night Shift SE (i.e., range 19.1 and -17.2%).92% of studies had SE values derived from Night Shift within the maximum error (based on two standard deviations of the SE error for the predicate device) vs. PSG SE. 80% of subjects had sleep onset values 50 dB to identify AHI ≥ 10 (sensitivity > 0.80, specificity > 0.65)**The percent time snoring > 50 dB can be used to identify patients with an AHI ≥ 10 with a sensitivity > 0.80 and a specificity > 0.65.
    Identification of treatment success/failure based on AHI, ESS, PHQ9, ISI, GAD7, FOSQThose successfully or unsuccessfully treated with Night Shift can be identified via a combination of changes in the AHI, daytime drowsiness (ESS), depression (PHQ9), Insomnia (ISI), anxiety (GAD7) and quality of life (FOSQ).Evaluating trends across these measures, 50% of subjects showed a substantial improvement as a result of Night Shift therapy and an additional 10% showed improvement, and 33% showed no change. None showed a worsening and two cases (7%) showed substantial overall worsening of subjective measures.Met (with caveat) - "numbers of failures were too few to characterize"

    Study Details for Clinical Tests:

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

      • Test Set Sample Size for Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: 27 patients with pre-treatment positional obstructive sleep apnea with a non-supine AHI 20).
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the study was a clinical study conducted to evaluate safety and efficacy, implying prospective data collection. The location (country of origin) is not mentioned.
    2. 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 given text. Ground truth for sleep studies typically involves highly trained sleep technologists and physicians interpreting polysomnography (PSG) data. However, the document does not specify the number or qualifications for this particular study.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • This information is not provided in the given text.
    4. 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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The study evaluated the device's performance in treating sleep apnea and recording sleep parameters, not how human readers improve with or without AI assistance in interpreting diagnostic data from the device. The Night Shift is a therapeutic and monitoring device, not an AI diagnostic interpretation tool.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

      • Yes, the study primarily assessed the standalone performance of the Night Shift device. While it is a prescription device, its effectiveness was measured by its ability to reduce supine sleep and associated AHI, as well as its accuracy in measuring sleep parameters (position, TST, SE) independently. Human interaction is primarily for setup, compliance, and physician review of the generated reports, but the core therapeutic and monitoring function is standalone.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • The ground truth for sleep parameters (AHI, supine time, TST, SE) appears to be Polysomnography (PSG), a gold standard for sleep disorder diagnosis. For the "Accuracy of Supine Position Measurement" endpoint, the ground truth was "video recordings plus chest sensor." For subjective measures (ESS, FOSQ), the ground truth was the participant's self-reported scores.
    7. The sample size for the training set:

      • This information is not provided in the given text. The document describes a clinical validation study, not the development or training phase of an algorithm.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • This information is not provided as the training set details are not mentioned.

    Intended Use

    The AMES Therapy Device is a rehabilitative exercise therapy device that uses assisted movement to measure, evaluate, exercise, re-educate and strengthen muscles, and to increase joint range of motion. It also uses muscle vibration for muscle relaxation.

    Device Description

    The AMES Therapy Device is an electromechanical physical therapy device that combines 3 motion assemblies (one for the ankle, one for the wrist, and one for the thumb-and-fingers), 5 therapeutic vibrators, and a visual feedback unit, all contained in one device. The patient is seated in a separate conventional chair or wheelchair so that the appropriate limb can be attached to the AMES Therapy Device for therapy. The AMES Therapy Device includes assisted movement to the limb being treated and applies simultaneous vibration to the antagonist muscle. The device provides visual feedback to the patient to indicate whether he/she is producing the requisite force (torque) in assisting the device's motion and encourages the patient to keep working the agonist muscle. The feedback also includes a force (torque) "target," set to a level by the the patient can achieve repeatedly during therapy without becoming too fatigued, but that is also moderately challenging. The torque produced by the patient is indicated on the video touch screen. Testing and reporting on the patient's therapy and functional status can be performed at each therapy session prior to or following administration of therapy. Data for each session include therapy delivery (date, duration, performance) and test results. Two tests are carried out during the treatment session to measure: 1) active range-of-motion, and 2) strength. These test scores permit the therapist: (i) to determine each patient's baseline status at the time that the patient first receives the AMES therapy, and (ii) to monitor changes in rehabilitation status during the course of the patient's therapy. This testing enables therapists to modify the treatment regimen in response to observed improvements and to determine when is no longer benefitting from the therapy. The AMES Therapy Device is non-invasive and there is no electrical stimulation involved in the device, nor any recording of bioelectric potentials. No heat is applied by the AMES Therapy Device.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the AMES Therapy Device's acceptance criteria and studies, based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly state specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance metrics from a clinical study. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that the device performs as designed and is substantially equivalent to predicate devices. The "performance" described is largely qualitative or pertains to general safety and functionality.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (from Non-Clinical & Clinical Testing)
    Electrical SafetyMeets UL 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC) standards.
    BiocompatibilityPatient-contacting materials are not irritating, sensitizing, or cytotoxic.
    Design FunctionalityPerforms as designed and met its specifications (Design Verification Testing).
    Clinical Safety (Skin Integrity)Safety data from clinical evaluations evaluated safety with respect to skin integrity.
    Substantial EquivalenceDemonstrated substantial equivalence in intended use, indications for use, and device function/features to predicate devices (System 4 and Vibracussor).

    Regarding the Absence of Detailed Performance Criteria:

    It's crucial to understand that for a 510(k) submission, particularly for devices with well-established predicate technology, the primary goal is often to demonstrate substantial equivalence rather than to prove novel efficacy against specific, high-bar performance criteria. The "acceptance criteria" here are more about meeting recognized safety standards, demonstrating intended functionality, and showing comparability to legally marketed devices.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "clinical evaluations" and "safety data from clinical evaluations" but does not specify the number of participants or the size of these evaluations.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The document does not mention the country of origin of the data. It implies the data is prospective as it refers to "clinical evaluations" of the AMES Therapy Device itself, rather than retrospective analysis of existing data.

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

    This information is not provided in the document.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided in the document.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

    No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. The submission focuses on demonstrating the device's own safety and functionality, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on comparing the efficacy or improvement of human readers (or therapists in this context) with or without AI assistance. The AMES Therapy Device is described as a standalone physical therapy device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretation tool.

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

    The AMES Therapy Device is a physical therapy device with a human (patient) interacting directly with it, guided by a therapist. It's not an algorithm-only device in the diagnostic or imaging sense. The device itself is "standalone" in the sense that its performance evaluation (safety, functionality) does not involve a human interpreting its output for diagnostic purposes. However, a human is inherently "in-the-loop" as a patient receiving therapy and a therapist managing the treatment.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    Given the nature of the device (physical therapy), "ground truth" in the typical AI/diagnostic sense (e.g., pathology, expert consensus on imaging) is not directly applicable. For the AMES Therapy Device, the "ground truth" during its "clinical evaluations" would likely relate to:

    • Observed clinical safety outcomes: Was there skin irritation? Were there adverse events?
    • Device functionality: Did the device perform its movements, provide vibration, and measure torque/ROM as designed?
    • Patient feedback/clinical assessment: Did the patient tolerate the therapy? Did therapists observe expected changes in patient status during the course of therapy (as the device aids in monitoring ROM and strength, but doesn't "diagnose").

    The document primarily highlights "Safety data from clinical evaluations... to evaluate the safety of the device with respect to skin integrity." This suggests observed clinical safety outcomes were a primary "ground truth" during its human-use testing.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable and not provided. The AMES Therapy Device, as described, is an electromechanical physical therapy device. It does not appear to employ machine learning or AI algorithms that would require a "training set" in the context of typical AI device development.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

    (classified under 21 CFR 890.5850 as Class II) with a therapeutic vibrator (classified under 21 CFR 890.5975

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) operation mode is indicated for the improvement of abdominal muscle tone, and for the development of a firmer abdomen.

    The therapeutic vibrator (Vibration) operation mode is indicated for the promotion of muscle relaxation.

    Device Description

    The new device with its proprietary name/model number of Gymform Dual Flex Belt/WB-162 is a single device featured with two modes of operation, independent each other - the electrical muscle stimulation for abdominal muscles conditioning and the therapeutic vibrator for abdominal muscles relaxation.

    Upon selected the electrical muscle stimulator (EMS) mode, the flex belt will function as an electrical muscle stimulator capable to achieve toning and firming of muscles in the abdominal region via using transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation which is a technology for muscle conditioning by sending a stream of electric impulses to the motor nerve of muscle via the pair of single-patient/multiple-application biocompatible cutaneous electrodes on the inner surface of the flex belt, the muscle responds to each electric impulse by producing a contractile twitch, just as it would create voluntary muscle contractions during normal training & strengthening practice, and continues to contract until the electric impulse is over the muscle then returns to its relax state. The level of muscle contraction and relaxation is determined by the electric impulse intensity and the duration applied to the motor nerve of muscle, in which is user selectable via the flex belt control panel.

    Upon selected the therapeutic vibrator (Vibration) mode, the Gymform Dual Flex Belt (new device) will function as a therapeutic vibrator to perform muscles relaxation. The therapeutic vibrator (Vibration) mode employs the method of electric muscle massage that simulates natural massage movement of a massage therapist, using oscillating movement of the eccentric motor that installed in the instrument casing to produce linear pulling vibrations to relaxing the abdominal muscle region of a patient.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the Gymform Dual Flex Belt. It compares the device to a predicate device, the Slendertone FLEX Abdominal Training System Type 515 (K030708), to establish substantial equivalence.

    Based on the document, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of numerical thresholds for performance metrics. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The primary "performance" is compliance with safety standards and showing "same effectiveness" as the predicate device.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Safety: Compliance with recognized consensus safety standardsThe device successfully passed testing for conformity with:
    • IEC 60601-1 (General Requirements for Safety)
    • IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
    • IEC 60601-2-10 (Particular requirements for the safety of nerve and muscle stimulators)
    • ISO 10993-5 (In Vitro cytotoxicity)
    • ISO 10993-10 (Tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity)
    • Complies with FDA safety requirements and IEC 60601-2-10 |
      | Effectiveness: Similar to predicate device | "effectiveness test report of Gymform Dual Flex Belt demonstrates that the new device has same effectiveness of predicate device." (Specific metrics for effectiveness are not detailed in this summary.) |
      | Technological Characteristics: Similar to predicate device | The EMS mode is "designed, developed and built on the identical technology of electrical muscle stimulation." While specific output parameters differ (e.g., frequency ranges, max intensity levels), the overall mode of action is identical. The document states "verification and validation tests demonstrated the Gymform Dual Flex Belt maintains same safety and effectiveness as that of the cleared predicate device." |
      | Intended Use/Indications: Identical to predicate device | The EMS mode of the Gymform Dual Flex Belt is indicated for "improvement of abdominal muscle tone, and for the development of a firmer abdomen," which is stated as "essentially identical to the predicate device." |

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

    The document mentions an "effectiveness test report" but does not provide any details regarding the sample size used, the characteristics of the test participants, or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature of the study). It only states that the report demonstrates "same effectiveness" as the predicate device.

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

    The document does not provide information about experts or ground truth establishment for an effectiveness study. The assessment of effectiveness appears to be based on an internal report that concluded similar effectiveness to the predicate device, but the methodology of that assessment is not detailed.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not mention any adjudication method.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, and Effect Size

    No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned or implied. The device is a direct-to-consumer electrical muscle stimulator, and comparative effectiveness studies of this nature are generally not required for 510(k) clearance in this context. The comparison is primarily against the performance characteristics of the predicate device for substantial equivalence.

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

    This is not applicable as the device is a physical muscle stimulator, not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is inherent in its electrical output and mechanical function.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The document does not specify the type of "ground truth" used for effectiveness testing. Given the nature of a muscle stimulator, effectiveness might be assessed through metrics such as muscle contraction force, muscle circumference changes, or perceived muscle tone/firmness, but these details are not provided. The primary ground for clearance is "comparison of the electric muscles stimulation (EMS) mode" against a predicate.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This question is not applicable as the Gymform Dual Flex Belt is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model. There is no concept of a "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

    Intended Use

    Relieves minor muscle aches and pains; Relieve muscle spasm; Temporarily Improve local circulation; Temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite; Relieves minor muscle aches and pains, relieves muscle spasm and improves local circulation during Burn rehabilitation

    Device Description

    The LPG devices are intended for practitioners who work in specific fields but all are substantially equivalent devices: ES1 for Endermologie; Cellu M6 for Endermologie and therapeutic applications; S6 sport for sport applications, before, after exercise and rehabilitation after injuries; ES/M60 for therapeutic applications and cosmetic applications on the face or on small area; LPG Equine for animal treatment. These devices are substantially equivalent to the ES1 therapeutic massager because the mode of operation and operating parameters and specifications are basically the same. Each LPG device comprises a main console housing a vacuum pump and a computerized regulation system. All of them contain treatment heads (from 5 to 12), that are designed to accommodate all parts of the body. ES1, Cellu M6, S6, LPG Equine devices have a main motorized head, the other device contain auxiliary heads (non-motorized) only. The equine device head is the largest in order to be able to be applied on the horse's body surface. The suction power of all these machines range from 50mBar to 500mBar which is represented by a scale from 1 to 10; for a specific machine and application, the suction power must be cyclically interrupted to provide vibration to the skin which is another stimulation for the tissues.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the LPG Therapeutic Massager/Vibrator, which details its substantial equivalence to existing devices and its intended uses. However, it does not contain the kind of detailed study information (like acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or MRMC study results) that would be needed to fill out the requested table and answer all questions directly.

    The document states, "Our objective is not to substantiate new claims but to prove that the exempt claims are appropriate for the burn victim and that the product is safe and effective for its general uses when used in burn rehabilitation." This indicates that the 510(k) submission primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicates for its claims, rather than presenting a novel clinical study with explicit acceptance criteria for device performance.

    One study is mentioned: "Doctor Gavroy compared treatment on burn victim with LPG and rhythmicity and LPG without rhythmicity." However, no details about the study design, sample size, methodology, or results are provided to determine how it would "prove" the device meets specific acceptance criteria.

    Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be filled from the provided document.

    Here's an attempt to answer based on the available information, with explanations for what cannot be provided:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for LPG Therapeutic Massager/Vibrator

    The provided 510(k) summary for the LPG Therapeutic Massager/Vibrator (K990445) does not explicitly define acceptance criteria in terms of specific performance metrics that the device had to meet in a study. The submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices for its intended uses. The "performance" is implicitly demonstrated through the device's adherence to the established indications for use of the predicate devices and its design and specifications being comparable.

    The objective stated is: "Our objective is not to substantiate new claims but to prove that the exempt claims are appropriate for the burn victim and that the product is safe and effective for its general uses when used in burn rehabilitation." This suggests the efficacy for established claims is taken as given based on substantial equivalence, with a specific focus on the applicability of these claims to burn rehabilitation.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Feature/ClaimAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence to Predicates)Reported Device Performance (Implied by Substantial Equivalence and Mentioned Study)
    Relieves minor muscle aches and painsEquivalent to predicate devices (G5-GK1 Vibrator, VIBRATOUCH™ II) in ability to relieve minor muscle pain.The device's mode of operation, operating parameters, and specifications are basically the same as or comparable to the predicates, thus considered substantially equivalent in performing this function. The literature also cites the effectiveness of vibration for pain.
    Relieve muscle spasmEquivalent to predicate devices in ability to relieve muscle spasm.Substantially equivalent to predicates. The literature also cites the effectiveness of vibration for muscle spasm.
    Temporarily improves local circulation / Temp. increase of local circulationEquivalent to predicate devices in ability to temporarily improve local circulation.Substantially equivalent to predicates. The literature also cites the effectiveness of vibration for microcirculation.
