Indications for Use

The E275 Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) device is intended to by used by physicians or licensed practitioners for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain by sending electrical impulses through the skin to the nerves lying directly beneath the skin surface. These impulses help to block the body's ability to send a pain message to the brain, thereby reducing the pain sensation. The E275 is a dual channel device that produces constant micro ampere currents with the selected envelopes, waveforms; frequencies, and polarity, with a maximum voltage of 30 volts.

Device Story

E275 TENS is a dual-channel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator; used by physicians or licensed practitioners for chronic intractable pain relief. Device delivers constant micro-ampere electrical impulses through skin to underlying nerves; mechanism involves blocking pain signal transmission to brain. Output parameters include selectable envelopes, waveforms, frequencies, and polarity; maximum voltage 30V. Device provides symptomatic pain reduction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence determination based on device description and intended use.

Technological Characteristics

Dual-channel transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator; constant micro-ampere current output; maximum voltage 30V; selectable waveforms, frequencies, and polarity.

Indications for Use

Indicated for symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain in patients requiring transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief is a device used to apply an electrical current to electrodes on a patient's skin to treat pain.

Dear Mr. Mouser:

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 application (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 such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
