Indications for Use
The T-SHAPE 2 and its hand pieces are indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasms, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
Device Story
T-SHAPE 2 is a multifunction platform for aesthetic and therapeutic tissue treatment. It uses simultaneous application of infrared light (650/980 nm), bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy (500 kHz–2 MHz), vacuum suction, and mechanical massage via motorized rollers or spheres. The device comprises a main console and various handpieces (multipole, thermal imaging, roller, and sphere-based). Operators select treatment parameters—intensity, frequency, suction, and duration—via a graphic user interface. A microprocessor controller monitors system functions and safety parameters, including skin resistance and endogenous heat levels, to prevent excessive heating. The device is intended for use in clinical settings by trained operators. It benefits patients by providing non-invasive tissue manipulation and heating to address muscle-related discomfort and cosmetic concerns.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993, electrical safety and EMC testing per IEC 60601-1/60825-1/60601-1-2, and software verification/validation. Performance bench testing included instrumental analysis and consumer self-assessments under medical supervision to verify skin tolerance and cosmetic effects.
Technological Characteristics
Multifunction platform with infrared light (650/980 nm), bipolar RF (500 kHz, 1 MHz, 1.5 MHz, 2 MHz), vacuum (up to -400 mbar), and mechanical massage. Components include a main console and multiple handpieces (multipole, roller, sphere). Materials are biocompatible per ISO 10993. Safety features include real-time monitoring of skin resistance (50-500 Ohm) and endogenous heat. Software-controlled via microprocessor. Sterilization not specified; device is for professional use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for relief of minor muscle aches/pains, muscle spasms, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, and temporary reduction in cellulite appearance in adult patients.

### Description of the device:
T-SHAPE 2 treatment is based on the simultaneous application of heat and mechanical manipulation to the tissue, wherein the heat is derived from light energy at a controlled infrared wavelength and from conducted radio frequency (RF) energy and the mechanical manipulation is derived from massage and/or vacuum.
The combined synergistic action between the micro-stimulators (rollers) and a negative pressure (vacuum) created within the hand pieces grasp the skin tissues allowing to achieve the same effects of kneading and stroking tissue by hand. Applications are pre-set by the machine or the operator in relation to intensity, frequency, length of session, degree of tissue suctioning, and allow to address the issues of each individual in an targeted manner.
T-SHAPE 2 is also equipped with:
- Two light sources type inside some handpieces (see below) with the following wavelengths: 650 and l 980 nm.
- -Electrodes for bipolar RF energy (500 kHz/ 1 MHz / 1,5 MHz).
Through the display, the light sources and RF energy can be fully deactivated or activated.
The light sources are neither adjustable in intensity (always output at nominal value, as per specifications) nor in frequency (always continuous - CW).
For the RF energy the user can select frequency between 2 MHz, 1 MHz, 500 kHz and intensity between the 10 levels available.
T-SHAPE 2 comprises a main console unit and several handpieces.
A microprocessor-based system controller is used to monitor and direct all the system function and the graphic user interface.
The main console can be connected to the following handpieces (two different hand piece can be connected at the same time):
- -Large multipole handpiece with 6 diode laser and 6 RF plates;
- -Medium multipole handpiece with 4 diode laser and 4 RF plates;
- -Small multipole handpiece 4 RF plates and 1 red LED;
- -Thermal imaging camera;
- -Roll handpiece with 4 diode laser and 2 motorized roller with RF;
- -Mesosphere handpiece with 45 motorized rotating spheres.
### Indication for Use:
The T-SHAPE 2 and its hand pieces are indicated for the relief of minor muscle aches and pain, relief of muscle spasms, temporary improvement of local blood circulation, and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

Image /page/10/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Baldan Group. The word "BALDAN" is written in large, bold, serif font, with a horizontal line running underneath it. Below the line, the word "GROUP" is written in a smaller, sans-serif font. The letters are evenly spaced and the overall design is simple and professional.
### Performance data:
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
### Biocompatibility testing
Materials in contact with patient skin, for a duration less than 24 hours, were evaluated according to the "biocompatibility flow chart for the selection of toxicity tests for 510(k)s", attachment C of "Criteria of Use of International Standard ISO 10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing' (blue book memo)".
### Safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the T-SHAPE 2 device.
The system complies with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60825-1 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC TR 60601-4-2 standards for EMC.
### Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
### Performance Bench Testing
T-SHAPE 2 has been evaluated to verify the skin tolerance, effect and cosmetic properties of a professional treatment through evaluations and instrumental analysis performed by professionals under medical supervision and consumer self-assessments.
### Comparison of Intended Use:
T-SHAPE 2 device's Intended Use is the same Intended Use of its predicate device.
### Substantial Equivalence:
T-SHAPE 2 device is as safe and effective as its predicate devices.
T-SHAPE 2 device has the same intended use and same technological characteristics and specification as its predicate devices, moreover, T-SHAPE 2 has been tested in accordance to consensus standard to demonstrate safety and Performance.
The choice of four frequencies allows you to act more precisely on different layers of the tissue, contrary to a single fixed frequency.
The safety of the treatment is due to the characteristics of the latest generation equipment, which allow you to constantly monitor the parameters set during the session. The system has two safety levels: the first is preset on the skin resistance values with gradual emission of current pulses, the skin resistance have been considered variable between 50 and 500 Ohm and the voltage and power values of the settable 10 level has been calculated considering this range of skin resistance; the second is the intensity by the operator who monitors moment by moment the progress of the treatment and the endogenous heat triggered. Each frequency level respects this operating mode to avoid excessive heating.

Image /page/11/Picture/0 description: The image shows the text "BALDAN" in large, bold letters, with a horizontal line running underneath it. Below the line, the word "GROUP" is written in smaller letters, aligned with the letters above. The text appears to be a logo or heading, possibly for a company or organization named Baldan Group.
Thus, T-SHAPE 2 device is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
### Conclusion:
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, than the legally marketed predicate devices.
