Intended Use

Diathermy is used therapeutically to increase the temperature of tissues. It is generally accepted that heat produces the following desirable therapeutic effects: - Relieves pain - Increases the extensibility of collagen tissues - Decreases joint stiffness - Relieves muscle spasm - Increases local blood flow Megapulse Shortwave Diathermy system is indicated for use in the following conditions or applications: - Disorders of the musculoskeletal system o Muscle spasm o Joint stiffness o Joint contractures - Chronic inflammatory or infective conditions o Tenosynovitis o Bursitis o Synovitis o Chronic inflammatory pelvic diseases

Device Story

Megapulse III Shortwave Diathermy is a therapeutic device used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to increase tissue temperature. It delivers shortwave electromagnetic energy to the patient's body to induce deep heating. This heat relieves pain, increases collagen tissue extensibility, decreases joint stiffness, reduces muscle spasms, and increases local blood flow. The device is operated by clinicians to treat specific musculoskeletal and chronic inflammatory conditions. The output is controlled thermal energy, which the clinician applies to the target area to achieve the desired physiological effects, thereby aiding in rehabilitation and symptom management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Shortwave diathermy system; operates by delivering electromagnetic energy to induce tissue heating. Class II device (21 CFR 890.5290).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring therapeutic tissue heating for musculoskeletal disorders (muscle spasm, joint stiffness, joint contractures) and chronic inflammatory/infective conditions (tenosynovitis, bursitis, synovitis, chronic inflammatory pelvic diseases).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A nonthermal shortwave therapy is a prescription device that applies to the body pulsed electromagnetic energy in the RF bands of 13.56 MHz or 27.12 MHz and that is intended for adjunctive use in the palliative treatment of postoperative pain and edema of soft tissue by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.

Special Controls

*Classification: Class II (special controls).* The device is classified as class II. The special controls for this device are:(i) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. (ii) Appropriate analysis/testing must demonstrate that the device is electrically safe and electromagnetically compatible in its intended use environment. (iii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. Non-clinical performance testing must characterize the output waveform of the device and demonstrate that the device meets appropriate output performance specifications. The output characteristics and the methods used to determine these characteristics, including the following, must be determined: (A) Peak output power; (B) Pulse width; (C) Pulse frequency; (D) Duty cycle; (E) Characteristics of other types of modulation that may be used; (F) Average measured output powered into the RF antenna/applicator; (G) Specific absorption rates in saline gel test load or other appropriate model; (H) Characterization of the electrical and magnetic fields in saline gel test load or other appropriate model for each RF antenna and prescribed RF antenna orientation/position; and (I) Characterization of the deposited energy density in saline gel test load or other appropriate model. (iv) A detailed summary of the clinical testing pertinent to use of the device to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device in its intended use. (v) Labeling must include the following: (A) Output characteristics of the device; (B) Recommended treatment regimes, including duration of use; and (C) A detailed summary of the clinical testing pertinent to the use of the device and a summary of the adverse events and complications. (vi) Nonthermal shortwave therapy devices marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with these special controls.

Dear Patrick Parker:

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, listing 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

{1}------------------------------------------------

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number [phone] or [phone] or at its Internet address

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
