Device Story
Muscle Trainer is a powered muscle stimulator for OTC use; delivers electrical pulses to user's skin via electrode patches. Device consists of a host unit and electrode patches; powered by CR2032 button batteries. User selects from 12 intensity levels and 3 operation modes. Device generates biphasic, symmetric, square-wave pulses. Used on abdomen, shoulder, arm, thigh, or calf depending on model. Provides muscle conditioning; benefits include improved muscle performance. Healthcare provider/user interaction involves applying electrodes to skin and adjusting intensity via control buttons. Device includes automatic shut-off and no-load trip features for safety.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and performance testing (IEC 60601-2-10). Waveform verification performed under load conditions (0.5kΩ, 2kΩ, 10kΩ). Electrode patch current dispersion and shelf-life testing conducted per ASTM F 1980-07.
Technological Characteristics
Powered muscle stimulator; ABS housing; CR2032 (DC3V) battery. Electrode patches use EVA foam, carbon film, conductive hydrogel, and PET. Output: biphasic, symmetric, square-wave pulses. 12 intensity levels; 3 modes. Compliant with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, and IEC 60601-2-10.

Dear Rain Yip:
We have reviewed vour 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
