Intended Use

NuBODY Skin Toning Device is intended for body skin stimulation and is indicated for over-the-counter cosmetic use.

Device Story

The NuBODY Skin Toning Device is a handheld, battery-operated device for over-the-counter cosmetic body skin stimulation. It features four fixed, chrome-plated spherical electrodes that deliver low-level electrical impulses (microcurrent) to targeted body areas. The device requires the application of a conductive gel. Operation involves pressing an on/off button, with ascending tonal beeps indicating activation and LED lights indicating output intensity. The device delivers a continuous alternating monophasic square wave, consisting of a burst of 10 positive pulses followed by a burst of 10 negative pulses. It provides audible cues every 5 seconds to prompt the user to relocate the device. Users can adjust the output intensity for comfort. The device automatically shuts off after 5 minutes. By delivering microcurrent to the skin, the device is intended to provide cosmetic toning benefits.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included evaluation of output waveform characteristics, output energy characteristics, electrical and constructional safety (ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1), and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2). Results confirmed the device meets design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld device with injection-molded thermoplastic resin housing. Four chrome-plated spherical electrodes. Powered by internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Delivers microcurrent as a continuous alternating monophasic square wave (60 ms pulse width, ~8.3 Hz frequency). Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60529, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-6, and IEC 62366. Type BF patient contact.

Indications for Use

Indicated for over-the-counter cosmetic body skin stimulation in adults.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for pain relief is a device used to apply an electrical current to electrodes on a patient's skin to treat pain.

Dear Donald Ellis:

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

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

Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated 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
