Technological Characteristics
Cylindrical vaginal/anal probes; stainless steel electrodes; 2 or 3 independent conductive channels; watertight construction; standard female or pigtail wire connectors. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-5/10. Non-sterile, reusable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with urinary incontinence requiring pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation or neuromuscular control restoration via electromyographic feedback or electrical stimulation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nonimplanted electrical continence device is a device that consists of a pair of electrodes on a plug or a pessary that are connected by an electrical cable to a battery-powered pulse source. The plug or pessary is inserted into the rectum or into the vagina and used to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor to maintain urinary or fecal continence. When necessary, the plug or pessary may be removed by the user. This device excludes an AC-powered nonimplanted electrical continence device and the powered vaginal muscle stimulator for therapeutic use (§ 884.5940).
Predicate Devices
- Hollister Vaginal Stimulation/EMG Probe-Tampon (K971541)
- Anal Stimulation/EMG Probe-w/Stop (K990456)
