Intended Use
The PainShield™ MD diathermy device is intended to apply ultrasounic energy to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.
Device Story
PainShield™ MD is an ultrasonic diathermy device for deep tissue heating. It generates continuous wave ultrasound at 90 kHz via a transducer/applicator patch that adheres to the skin like a bandage. The system includes the applicator, a rechargeable battery-powered driver unit, and a connecting cable. The device is designed for use by patients during normal daily activities as prescribed by a physician. The self-adhering patch allows for hands-free operation, eliminating the need for a therapist to hold the applicator. The device provides localized ultrasound energy transfer to areas such as the heel, Achilles tendon, and wrist. By enabling treatment during daily activities, it improves patient convenience while maintaining therapeutic functionality. The low energy levels prevent tissue overheating, and the design ensures the operator is not exposed to therapeutic ultrasound.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Ultrasonic diathermy device; 90 kHz continuous wave ultrasound; rechargeable battery-powered driver; self-adhering transducer/applicator patch (approx. 6 cm² area); complies with FDA standards for ultrasonic therapy products.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring deep heat therapy for relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.

## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
This summary of safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of the SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

NanoVibronix Ltd., 47 Hataasia St. P.O.B. 515 Nesher 36603, Israel Tcl: +972.4.82().1994; Fax:+972.820.2794 e-mail: harold@nanovibronix.com
Name of the Device: PainShield™ MD.
Predicate Devices: The PainShield™ MD is substantially equivalent to the Duo-Son Ultrasonic Diathermy Device manufactured by Orthosonics Ltd., subject of k970131.
Description of the Device: The PainShield™ MD is an ultrasonic diathermy device used to apply deep heat to tissues in the body with a transducer/applicator that is incorporated into a patch that adheres to the skin, as does a bandage.The PainShield™ MD is used to generate continuous wave ultrasound at 90 kHz, through a reusable applicator/transducer that covers an area of about 6 cm². The small applicator allows treatment of less accessible body parts such as, for example, the heel, the achilles tendon and the wrist. The device includes the above-mentioned transducer, a small, rechargeable, battery-powered driver unit and a cable that connects the driver to the transducer.
The Painshield™ MD device maintains the functionality of existing ultrasonic diathermy devices and also has the following advantages:
1. Small external dimensions and light weight,
2. User-friendly construction,
3. Because the applicator patch self-adheres to the skin, the physician's or therapist's hands are freed and he/she does not need to concentrate on and personally hold the applicator adjacent to the patient's body during the treatment session,
4. The low energy levels assure no overheating of the underlying tissue,
5. The applicator has an increased local concentration of ultrasound energy transfer due to the fixed adherence of the applicator to the treatment area,
6. Device characteristics assure that the operator is not exposed to therapeutic ultrasound,
7. Device characteristics, i.e., weight, dimensions and self-adherence, allow a patient to go about his/her normal daily activities while receiving treatment, as prescribed by the physician.
The Painshield™ MD complies with the FDA standard for ultrasonic therapy products.
