Submitter: Eva Medtec, Inc. 6300 W. Old Shakopee Road, Suite 140 Bloomington. MN 55438 Contact Person: Irene Waldridge, Chief Technology Officer and Chairman of the Board Date Prepared: October 16, 2020 ## 2. Device: Name of Device: NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System, Model# T16-2020 Common or Usual Name: Powered Inflatable Tube Massager Classification Name: Massager, Powered Inflatable Tube (21 CFR 890.5650) Requlatory Class: II Product Code: IRP ## 3. Predicate Device: Relaxor Perfect Touch Air Massaging System Applicant: Salton, Inc. (Washington, DC) 510(k) Number: K030437 ## 4. Device Description: The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System Model # T16-2020 is a reusable, nonsterile therapy device intended to provide a gentle, rhythmic, soothing sensation using timed, pre-programed air pressure to inflate and deflate air channels within the therapy attachments. Each air channel inflates then deflates one at a time, to simulate the press and release action of the human hand by manipulating the soft tissues of the body relieving pain and increasing circulation. This device is a gradient, sequential, pneumatic compression device intended for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and for the temporary increase in circulation to the treated areas in people who are in good health. The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System simulates the kneading and stroking of tissues by using inflatable air channels. The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System consists of an air compressor, valve module(s) and a therapy attachment working together as one unit. The therapy attachments contain one or two valve modules that connect to the Controller Unit via a {4}------------------------------------------------ series of receptacles, tubing, and cabling. The system uses an external power supply of 12V DC. The Therapy Attachments/Cushions consist of inflatable welded pads with 8 or 16 air channels. The massage direction is distal to proximal (toward the heart). The sequential inflation cycle inflates then deflates one air channel at a time, for 3, 4 or 5 seconds allowing the user/patient to adjust the pressure. The therapy attachment/cushion works under the action of the valve module sensor and microprocessor. ## 5. Indications for Use: The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System is indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains and for the temporary increase in circulation to the treated areas in people who are in good health. The NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System simulates the kneading and stroking of tissues by using inflatable air channels. The Indications for Use statement for the NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System is identical to the predicate device. ## 6. Summary of Comparison of Technology Characteristics: Powered inflatable tube massager is the technological principle for both the subject and the predicate devices. It is based on the use of inflating/deflating tubes/channels within a garment or attachment with air. Both devices simulate the kneading and stroking of tissues with the hands by use of an inflation pressure cuff. The technology characteristics of the NeoWave system, e.g., overall device design, materials, mechanism of action, mode of operation, performance characteristics, intended use and type of use (reusable) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device; Relaxor Perfect Touch Air Massaging System. {5}------------------------------------------------ # Summary Table of Device Comparison | Table 12

The subject device has the same intended use and principles of operation, similar technological characteristics as that of the predicate devices. Although there are a few differences in specifications, a comparison analysis was completed to demonstrate that the differences would not adverselv impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. ### 7. Performance Data The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. ### Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System consisting of the Controller Unit and therapy attachments. The system complies with IEC 60601-1 Ed 3.1: 2005, IEC 60601-1-11: 2015 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-2: 2014 standard for EMC. ### Biocompatibility testing The Biocompatibility evaluation for the NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. The system complies with ISO 10993-5:2009 & ISO 10993-10:2010. ### Shipping/Packaqing Testing Testing was performed on the finished NeoWave Pain Relief and Recovery System and its finished packaging. The packaging consists of an interior box with foam where the Controller Unit is positioned and then placed inside a shipping box along with a therapy attachment as a system. The system was tested and complies with ASTM D4169-16 Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems. ### Software Verification and Validation Testing Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation is provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device is considered as a "moderate" level of concern since a failure or latent design flaw could indirectly result in a minor injury to the patient. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### Mechanical Bench Testing Performance verification testing was conducted based upon the systems Device Design Requirements.
