Indications for Use
The ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation Electrodes are intended for use as a disposable, conductive adhesive interface between the patient's skin and the Electrical Stimulator. ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation Electrodes are designed and intended to be used with marketed Electrical Stimulators, i.e. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), MENS (Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation), IF (Interferential) or PGF (Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation).
Device Story
ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation Electrodes are non-sterile, disposable, laminated flexible structures. They function as a conductive interface between patient skin and external electrical stimulators (TENS, MENS, EMS, IF, or PGF). The device consists of a nonwoven tape or polyethylene foam/polypropylene substrate, a conductive plastic film, and a biocompatible conductive hydrogel. The hydrogel provides both adhesion and electrical coupling, eliminating the need for external securing materials. The electrode includes a 6-inch lead wire with a 0.080-inch female socket compatible with standard neurostimulation devices. Designed for single-patient, multiple-application use. Healthcare providers or patients use the device to deliver electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes. Effectiveness is verified through impedance testing, ensuring comparability to predicate devices.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of biocompatibility testing (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Primary Skin Irritation) per ISO 10993-1 and comparative impedance testing against predicate devices to demonstrate functional equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Laminated flexible structure: nonwoven tape/polyethylene foam/polypropylene substrate, conductive plastic film, and biocompatible conductive hydrogel. 6-inch lead wire with 0.080-inch female socket. Passive electrical interface. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a conductive adhesive interface between patient skin and electrical stimulators (TENS, MENS, EMS, IF, or PGF) for patients requiring neurostimulation therapy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cutaneous electrode is an electrode that is applied directly to a patient's skin either to record physiological signals (e.g., the electroencephalogram) or to apply electrical stimulation.

ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation electrodes arc non-Device Description: sterile, disposable laminated. flexible structures composed of materials commonly used in this application:
> First Layer-White spun laced nonwoven tape or White 1/32" thick Polyethylene foam or a polypropylene substrate, coated with biocompatible adhesive.
Second Layer- Conductive plastic film.
Third Layer-Biocompatible conductive hydrogel coupling media (
The electrodes are designed for single-patient/multiple application use. Because of the adhesive nature of the biocompatible hydrogel, no securing materials are required to secure the device to the patient's skin. The electrode has one type of connection point that can be used to connect the stimulation device to the electrodes. This connection point is compatible with all standard, marketed Neurostimulation devices.

Lead wire assembly - 6" wire with .080 in. diameter female socket connected to one side of the wire.
Predicate Technological Characteristics Comparison: ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation electrodes are technologically equivalent to the predicate devices. They are physically and technically similar to those currently being marketed for "Neurostimulation" i.e., TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), MENS (Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation), IF (Interferential) and PGS (Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation).
Safety and Effectiveness: ProStim Reusable Neurostimulation electrodes are as safe and effective as the Naimco E-Z stik electrodes (K050469) and Lead-Lok (K010431) which were previously found to be substantially equivalent via 510(k) Premarket Notifications.
The first safety issue considered was whether the gel, which is used to adhere the electrode to the skin and which is the only portion of the electrode to maintain skin contact, would cause any skin irritation. The Katecho KM 10 Series of gels (file number K00870) and the Amgel 700 Series gels (file number K983741), which may be used in this family of electrodes, have passed the required skin sensitivity testing criteria as specified in the Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices and ISO 10993-1 requirements for skin contact. These tests include Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Primary Skin Irritation Tests.
Because there are no published performance standards for Neurostimulation electrodes, Summit Manufacturing, L.L.C. uses impedance levels as the criteria for effectiveness testing. Results of the impedance testing revealed that the subject device's impedance values were comparable to the other predicate device(s) impedance values.
Based on the aforementioned information, ProStim considers its Reusable TENS/NMES electrodes to be as safe and effective as the predicate devices, as well as multiple other TENS/NMES electrodes currently being marketed including those manufactured by: Uni-Patch(k962910), MSB Limited (K980229), Axelgaard (K983741), Selective Med components, Inc. (k946230).Medtronic, Inc. (K875284), Medical Design & Manufacturing Corp. (K895604), and Labeltape Meditect. Inc. (K900656,K902719 and K894043).
