Device Story
Flex-MT+ is a battery-powered, handheld combination TENS and EMS device; delivers electrical stimulation to patient skin via electrodes; 2 output channels; adjustable output and waveform; powered by 4.8V Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack. Used in clinical or home settings; operated by patient or clinician. Device includes patient compliance timer (up to 999 hours). Output parameters (voltage, current, pulse duration) are adjustable. Healthcare providers use device to manage pain and muscle function; output affects clinical decision-making by providing non-pharmacological pain relief and physical therapy support. Benefits include improved muscle function, pain reduction, and prevention of atrophy/thrombosis.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical study data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and technical comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Battery-powered (4.8V Ni-MH) handheld stimulator; 2 output channels; transformer-based channel isolation; regulated voltage output; plastic housing. Compliant with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-11, EN 60601-1-4, and EN 62304. Waveforms: Asymmetrical biphasic (TENS), Biphasic symmetrical (EMS).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic/post-surgical pain, relaxation of muscle spasms, increased local blood circulation, muscle re-education, prevention/retardation of disuse atrophy, prevention of venous thrombosis of calf muscles post-surgery, and maintenance/increase of range of motion.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Ms. James:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21
{1}------------------------------------------------
CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

#### Substantial Equivalence
Based on the Flex-MT+ and the predicate device technical characteristics, performance, and indications for use, the substantially equivalent to the EMSI Flex MT and the EMPI 300V. As detailed in the tables above, the differences between the subject and predicate devices do not adversely impact the FlexMT+ safety and effectiveness for it's substantial equivalence to the predicates.
