Used in clinical or home settings; operated by patients or healthcare providers. Device acts as interface between stimulator and patient; facilitates TENS/EMS therapy for pain management or muscle stimulation. Benefits: reusable, conductive interface for electrical therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data included. Performance evaluated via electrical impedance, adhesive performance, current dispersion, peel force, and reuse testing. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (sensitization). Shelf life validated per ASTM F1980-16.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-layer flexible structure: EVA foam backing, carbon film conductor, biocompatible self-adhesive conductive hydrogel, PET protective liner. Dimensions: 40mm x 70mm x 3mm. Electrical connection via snap button. Non-sterile. A.C. Impedance <300 ohms. Biocompatible per ISO 10993-5/10.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults requiring TENS or EMS therapy via transcutaneous electrical current transmission. No specific contraindications listed.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cutaneous electrode is an electrode that is applied directly to a patient's skin either to record physiological signals (e.g., the electroencephalogram) or to apply electrical stimulation.

Dear Jet Li:
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
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device 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.
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.
