The clearance number is K010749. Description of the device: The Rhythm Touch Q 2-Way is a dual channeled powered muscle stimulator. It electronically stimulates muscles. It comprises two main components, namely, an electronic stimulatory module which generates the required stimulation signals, and skin electrodes with lead wires. The product is supplied with a set of single sided adhesive electrodes, an instruction manual, and a set of batteries. Power is derived from two AAA cells located in a compartment protected by a removable battery cover. {1}------------------------------------------------ The electrodes, which are provided with this model, have 510(k) clearance. They are 2" x 2" in size. The leadwires also have 510(k) clearance. Intended use of the device: Electrically powered devices intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. Indications For Use include: - 1. Relaxation of muscle spasms - 2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy - 3. Increasing local blood circulation - 4. Muscle re-education - 5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis - 6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion Summary of the technological characteristics of our device compared to the predicate device: As was provided in both the Comparison and Standards sections, the Rhythm Touch Q 2-Way device and the BioStim device have similar technological characteristics and are equivalent. {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
