Non-Clinical Performance Data Summary of Non-Clinical Data Submitted The following testing has been performed to support substantial equivalence: - . Bench testing to evaluate the psi pressure performance of the Pressure Right acupressure device compared to the marketed predicate (Sea-Band) device to determine pressure equivalence. {6}------------------------------------------------ As part of demonstrating safety and effectiveness of Pressure Right device and in showing substantial equivalence to the predicate devices that are subject to this 510(k) submission, Pressure Point completed a number of tests. The Pressure Right device meets all the requirements for overall design, biocompatibility, and has been confirmed that the output meets the design inputs and specifications. The Pressure Right device passed the testing stated above as shown by the acceptable results obtained. ## 10. Clinical Performance Data There was no new clinical testing required to support the medical device as bench testing was performed to evaluate the pressure equivalence of the Pressure Right acupressure device compared to the marketed predicate (Sea-Band) device. These results were comparable and support the expanded indications of the Pressure Right device. The predicate device, Pressure Right was clinically tested and the clinical data included in the predicate submission K110563. The predicate Pressure Right device has been on the market for several years with a proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device. # 11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. The Pressure Right OTC device has the same indications for use, including OTC use as the predicate Sea-Band device. The Pressure Right OTC device prescription has identical technological characteristics as the Pressure Right predicate device. The new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K142471](https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K142471) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
