Device Story

Hakomed Elecdt/Vacupulls is a medical device designed for nerve and muscle stimulation. It functions by delivering electrical stimulation to peripheral nerves for pain management and to motor nerves for muscle rehabilitation. The device is used in clinical settings under the direction of a healthcare provider. By providing therapeutic electrical impulses, it assists in pain relief, muscle spasm reduction, and the prevention of atrophy or circulatory issues like phlebothrombosis. The output is controlled by the clinician to achieve specific therapeutic goals, such as muscle re-education or range of motion maintenance, directly benefiting patients recovering from surgery or suffering from chronic pain syndromes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence determination based on 510(k) notification review.

Technological Characteristics

Electrical nerve and muscle stimulator. Class II device. Product codes IPF and LIH. Operates via electrical stimulation of peripheral and motor nerves.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring adjunctive treatment for post-traumatic, chronic, or post-surgical pain; muscle spasm relaxation; prevention of tissue atrophy; increased local blood circulation; muscle re-education; prevention of phlebothrombosis via calf muscle stimulation; and maintenance or increase of range of motion. Stimulates peripheral nerves for pain relief and motor nerves for muscle rehabilitation.
