You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; 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).

As noted above, these differences have no impact in safety and efficacy of the device. | | | Pre-Clinical Testing
Comparison: | The force applied to the Neiguan (P6) acupressure point was found to be substantially equivalent between the examined devices. Pre-clinical testing was conducted on the 1st, 50th, and 99th percentile size female wrists with the force applied by the | | | | subject device. The force applied by the subject device was
found to be substantially equivalent to
the predicate devices for each wrist size. | | | | Biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization and irritation) of the
subject device was demonstrated per ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 and
ISO 10993-10 | | | Clinical Data

Application
& Features | Variable Pressure that ranges from
0.52 lbf to 0.80 lbf
(achieved through holes used to
select size)
Non-elastic design
Used on both wrists | Adjustable:
Lbf: 0.74 @ Normal
Lbf: 0.26 @ Loose | Non-variable pressure
(one size)
Elastic design
Used on both wrists | The subject and primary
predicate devices have a strap
that allows for variable tightness
using a non-elastic design. Both
allow the user to control the
amount of pressure and
tightness of the band. The
minor differences in how the
variable tightness is achieved do
not impact the overall safety
and efficacy of the device. The
secondary predicate does not
offer variable pressure and
relies on elastic design to
accommodate wrist sizes. The
differences in how variable
pressure are achieve do not
raise issues of safety and
efficacy.

All devices are used on both
wrists simultaneously, raising no | {6}------------------------------------------------ ## 510(k) Summary – K220289 {7}------------------------------------------------ ## 510(k) Summary – K220289 --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K220289](https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K220289) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
