The Kneehab XP is intended to provide transcutaneous Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
Device Story
Kneehab XP is a portable, battery-operated combination device providing NMES and TENS. It utilizes 'multipath' technology via a conductive garment fastened around the thigh and above the kneecap to deliver focused NMES muscle contractions. The system includes a rechargeable control unit, garment, custom adhesive electrodes, and charger. The device features nine pre-set programs (six NMES, three TENS) with 20-minute durations. It is operated by the patient or clinician to manage pain or facilitate muscle rehabilitation. The control unit is powered by a 3.6V NiMH battery. The healthcare provider selects the appropriate program based on the patient's clinical needs (e.g., post-surgical strengthening or chronic pain management). The device output is delivered through the garment and electrodes, providing electrical stimulation to the peripheral nervous system to induce muscle contraction or modulate pain signals. This aids in muscle re-education, atrophy prevention, and symptomatic pain relief, potentially improving patient mobility and recovery outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device was evaluated for electrical, mechanical, and thermal safety in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards. Biocompatibility of electrodes was confirmed via reference to previous 510(k) clearances (K000947). No clinical trial data was required or provided for this submission.
Indicated for NMES (Programs 1-6): maintain/increase range of motion, prevent/retard disuse atrophy, re-educate muscles, early post-surgical quadriceps strengthening, improve post-surgical knee stability, relax muscle spasms, increase local blood circulation. Indicated for TENS (Programs 7-9): symptomatic relief/management of chronic intractable pain, adjunctive treatment for acute post-surgical/post-traumatic pain, relief of pain associated with arthritis, adjunctive therapy for pain/symptoms of knee osteoarthritis.
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.

#### 4. Description of Device
The Kneehab XP, Type 412/421 is a portable, battery operated, combination device which can provide both neuromuscular electronic stimulation (NMES) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The device incorporates multipath®, a patented technology developed by neurotech® which enables the Kneehab XP Conductive Garment to deliver highly focused and accurate NMES muscle contractions. This device also provides a method of pain management and relief through the use of TENS technology.
The Kneehab XP pack consists of a rechargeable control unit, a left or right universally sized garment, a pack of custom adhesive electrodes, a battery charger and instructions for use. The garment is fastened around the thigh and above the kneecap and contains a connector socket into which the control unit is plugged. Power is derived from a 3.6V NiMH rechargeable battery pack that is pre-installed in the unit. A battery charger is included with

the device and the device cannot be used while being charged. The adhesive electrodes have an estimated usage capability of 20 sessions when used under the recommended conditions of use.
All internal connections of the unit are over molded to prevent moisture ingress. The user has no access to the wiring or connectors within the garment and is unable to alter the current path. There are nine treatment programs in total (six NMES and three TENS) with a duration of 20 minutes each. Program details are included in the instructions for use. For purposes of hygiene, the garment may be cleaned and instructions for device care are included in the user manual.
#### 5. Statement of Intended Use and Indications for Use
Kneehab XP, Type 412/421 delivers stimulation based on the principles of NMES and TENS. NMES may be defined as the application of electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system to contract a muscle, either through the direct activation of the motor neurons in the mixed peripheral nerve, or indirectly through reflex recruitment. TENS can be defined as a pain therapy based on the application of electrical stimuli to the skin via stimulation of the nerve fibers.
In NMES mode (Programs 1-6), the Kneehab XP, Types 412/421. is indicated for use as follows:
- Maintain or increase the range of motion. 1.
- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy 2.
- Re-educate muscles 3.
- 4. Early post-surgical quadriceps strengthening and improved post surgical knee stability secondary to quadriceps strengthening
- Relax muscle spasms 5.
- Increase blood circulation 6.
Programs 1-6 use multipath technology.

Dear Ms. Keenan:
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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
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 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
