Intended Use

The SH5003 & SH5006 Digital Hand Dynamometer & Digital Pinch Gauge are for performing manual muscle testing to measure grip or pinch strength in an injured and uninjured.

Device Story

The SH5003 Digital Hand Dynamometer and SH5006 Digital Pinch Gauge are DC-powered devices used in clinical settings for routine screening of grip strength and evaluation of hand trauma or dysfunction. The dynamometer uses a hydraulic system to measure isometric grip force (0-300 lbs), while the pinch gauge measures pinch force (up to 60 lbs). The devices feature a peak-hold function that retains the maximum force reading until reset. Clinicians operate the devices to obtain objective strength data, which informs rehabilitation progress and clinical decision-making. The dynamometer includes an adjustable handle for five grip positions. The pinch gauge design allows the therapist to support the device weight, ensuring accurate measurement without artifact. These tools provide quantitative strength metrics to assist healthcare providers in assessing patient recovery.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing conducted in accordance with EN/IEC 60601-1 (1990) for electrical, mechanical, and environmental safety, and EN/IEC 60601-1-2 (2001) for EMC. All test results were satisfactory.

Technological Characteristics

DC-powered dynamometer; hydraulic sensing mechanism; stainless steel gauge; shock-resistant rubber cap; adjustable handle (1 3/8" to 3 3/8"); digital readout with peak-hold functionality. Standards: EN/IEC 60601-1 (safety), EN/IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC).

Indications for Use

Indicated for manual muscle testing to measure grip or pinch strength in injured and uninjured patients.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An AC-powered dynamometer is an AC-powered device intended for medical purposes to assess neuromuscular function or degree of neuromuscular blockage by measuring, with a force transducer (a device that translates force into electrical impulses), the grip-strength of a patient's hand.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9.
