Intended Use
Relief of chronic intractable pain, acute post traumatic pain or acute post surgical pain (TNS Mode); Relaxation of muscle spasm (Interferential Mode); Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy (Interferential Mode); Increasing local blood flow (Interferential Mode); Muscle re-education (Interferential Mode); Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis (Interferential Mode); and Maintaining or increasing range of motion (Interferential Mode).
Device Story
Vectorsurge 5 Model VS-470 is a powered muscle stimulator and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS). Device delivers electrical impulses to patient tissues via electrodes. Operates in TNS mode for pain management and Interferential mode for muscle-related therapeutic applications. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to treat muscle spasms, prevent atrophy, increase local blood flow, re-educate muscles, prevent venous thrombosis, and maintain range of motion. Output parameters are controlled by the clinician to achieve desired physiological effects. Benefits include non-pharmacological pain relief and physical therapy support for muscle function.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Powered muscle stimulator and TENS device. Operates via electrical stimulation. Class II device under 21 CFR 890.5850 and 21 CFR 882.5890. Product codes: IPF, GZJ, LIH.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring pain relief (chronic intractable, acute post-traumatic, or post-surgical) via TNS mode, or muscle stimulation (spasm relaxation, atrophy prevention, blood flow increase, re-education, venous thrombosis prevention, or range of motion maintenance) via Interferential mode.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A powered muscle stimulator is an electrically powered device intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area.

Dear Mr. Toman:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 28, 2003.
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 (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.
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
