| | The VEINOPLUS® SPORT, like a number of legally marketed predicate devices is a traditional battery powered muscle stimulator. It is portable, hand-held device, equipped with one single channel intended to stimulate the calf muscles or other muscles of the body (for example thighs, arms, buttock, back, shoulder or abdomen). The VEINOPLUS® SPORT device has only one operating mode, called program, stored in the internal memory.<br><br>The output stimulus is low-voltage, low frequency with rectangular voltage waveform. The device is housed in a plastic enclosure, and it is powered by an alkaline 9V primary battery. The accessories include the output cables, battery, user manual and electrode pads. No provisions are made for AC adapters, so the device cannot be connected to line under any circumstances.<br><br>The VEINOPLUS® SPORT device is supplied with all accessories (as listed below) necessary for a safe and effective session of stimulation. Main unit, cable, the pair of electrodes, battery, lanyard and user manual are packaged in carrying case then packaged in a carton box with printed messages. Refer to the picture in Section 12 Device Description.<br><br>List of accessories:<br>- 1pair of electrodes VEINOPLUS® Pack. Self-adhesive. Oval shape. Size 8x13 cm. Low resistance. This includes a Hydrogel for the electrodes (Refer to Sections 19 and 23F).<br>- 1 conductor cable for connecting the electrodes. Approximate length (w/o plug) 135 cm.<br>- 1 instruction manual<br>- 1 9V alkaline battery<br>- 1 lanyard<br>- 1 carrying case: L22.5*W4.5*H17cm. |

## Comparison of the indications for use with the predicate devices:

The proposed device, VEINOPLUS® SPORT, is substantially equivalent to both of its legally marketed Class II predicate devices:

- 1. The mode 1 (powered muscle stimulator, IPF) of the Veinoplus® with 510k K072252 (except for the indications for use).
- 2. The mode (program) "active recovery" of the Compex® Sport Plus with 510k K083140.

| Intended use: | Muscle electrical stimulation | Muscle electrical stimulation | Muscle electrical stimulation |
| Indications for use: | The VEINOPLUS® SPORT is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance. | Increasing local blood circulation (common claim with predicates). Relaxation of muscle spasm/ Prevention or retardation of muscle disuse atrophy/ Muscle reeducation/ Immediate postsurgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis/Maintaining or increasing range of motion. | Stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. |
| Mode of Action: | The VEINOPLUS® SPORT contracts the muscles by electrical stimulation. | The Veinoplus stimulates the muscles, resulting in rhythmic muscles contraction, which then increases the blood flow. | The Active Recovery program produces muscle twitches at a very low frequency. Those twitches act like a massage and induce an increase of the blood flow and a faster reduction of the lactic acid blood level. It facilitates recovery of the stimulated muscles after active muscle training or competition. |

VEINOPLUS® SPORT is substantially equivalent to Veinoplus® in the Substantial Equivalence perspective of technological characteristics and general intended uses. Both summary: devices are intended for electrical stimulation of muscles. VEINOPLUS® SPORT was developed based on Veinoplus® device and both devices are technically very close. The indications for use of VEINOPLUS®, which is intended to be sold under prescription and for medical purpose, are not used for demonstration of substantial equivalence of VEINOPLUS® SPORT. VEINOPLUS® SPORT is substantial equivalent to Compex® Sport Plus in term of intended use, indications for use and technological characteristics. The technical differences between VEINOPLUS® SPORT and Compex® Sport Plus (power supply, waveform shape ...) do not raise additional issues of safety Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-Summary of Non-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10 and ISO 14971. clinical The gel of electrodes was tested according ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10 performance testing: Biocompatibility standards. In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the software verification has been carried out according to the FDA guidance for the content of premarket submissions for software contained in Medical Devices. A usability study support as well that the user can operate the device in a safe and effective manner with labeling supplied with the device. Conclusion: The safety and performance of the device is supported by testing with safety and performance standards IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards. The differences between VEINOPLUS® SPORT® and the predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
