Indications for Use
The XBODY Go USA and XBODY Pro USA is a machine with electronic muscle stimulation based on EMS technology. The device is specifically designed as an addition to other sports and for training muscles. It must be used for only healthy muscles and clients, not for rehabilitation purposes. The XBODY Go USA and XBODY Pro USA is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The XBODY Go USA and XBODY Pro USA is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the XBODY Go USA training programs is designed for injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated. The XBODY Go USA and XBODY Pro USA electrical impulses allow the triggering of action potentials on motoneurons of motor nerves (excitations). These excitations of motoneurons are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the motor endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber respond to muscle work. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of rest, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The various types of muscle work that the XBODY Go USA and XBODY Pro USA can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The XBODY Go USA and XBODY Pro USA may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training.
Device Story
XBody Go USA and XBody Pro USA are powered muscle stimulators using EMS technology to trigger action potentials on motor nerves, inducing mechanical muscle fiber response. Input consists of user-selected training parameters (pulse frequency, duration, session length) via a touchscreen tablet (Microsoft Surface). The system includes a wireless stimulation unit (XBody Actiwear G2) and a training suit with integrated electrodes. Used in home or clinic settings by certified trainers to manage muscle training programs. Output is electrical stimulation delivered to muscle groups. The device provides performance data (session duration, client data) to the trainer. Benefits include improved muscle performance through customized training. Safety features include overload/no-load trip, watchdog monitoring, and emergency stop buttons. The device is not for medical treatment or rehabilitation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Safety and performance supported by independent testing to international standards including IEC 60601-1 (general safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-2-10 (nerve/muscle stimulators), and IEC 62304 (software). Usability testing confirmed the interface and Go Out mode safety. Biocompatibility of applied parts (underwear/electrodes) confirmed per ISO 10993.
Indicated for healthy individuals to stimulate muscles to improve or facilitate muscle performance as an addition to sports and training. Contraindicated for use on injured or ailing muscles and for rehabilitation purposes.

# C. Identification of Legally Marketed Primary Predicate Device and Reference Device
## D. Description of the Devices
The XBody Go USA and the XBody Pro USA generate electronic muscle stimulation based on EMS technology. The devices are designed as additions to other sports and for training muscles. They are not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. They are intended for use only by persons with healthy muscles, not for rehabilitation purposes.
## E. Indication for Use
The XBody Go USA and XBody Pro USA are machines with electronic muscle stimulation based on EMS technology. The devices are specifically designed as an addition to other sports and for training muscles. They must be used for only healthy not for rehabilitation purposes.
Both models are intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. Neither model is intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical conditions of any kind. None of the XBody Go USA or XBody Pro USA training programs are designed for injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated.
For both models, electrical impulses allow the triggering of action potentials on motor nerves (excitations). These excitations of motoneurons are transmitted to the motor endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of rest, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles.
The various types of muscle work that the XBody Pro USA can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. Both models may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training.
## F. Technological Characteristics
Compared to the primary predicate device, the XBody Pro USA are the same or similar in indication for use, intended use performance, design, dimensions, and materials as the primary predicate and reference devices meet the same standards for safety and performance as the primary predicate and reference devices.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The differences cited in the comparison tables between subject, primary predicate and reference devices do not affect safety and performance of the subject devices when compared for equivalence to the primary predicate and reference devices. Where is not publicly available information for a comparison between the two subject devices (XBody Go USA) and on of the predicates (WiemsPro) in Table 1 and 3, this application relies on the subject devices to XBody Newave USA.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
