Indications for Use

The PainShield MD PLUS is intended to apply ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.

Device Story

PainShield MD PLUS is an ultrasonic diathermy device; generates continuous wave (CW) ultrasound at 90 kHz; utilizes two 6 cm² disk-shaped transducers (Lead Zirconate-Titanate PZT) integrated into self-adhering patches. Driver unit is battery-powered, rechargeable, and portable; intended for home healthcare environment. Device applies deep heat to tissues to treat pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.

#### Device Description:

The PainShield MD PLUS is an electrically powered ultrasonic diathermy device intended to relieve pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. It is used to apply deep heat to tissues in the body with a transducer/applicator that is incorporated into a bandage-like patch that adheres to the skin.

The PainShield MD PLUS is used to generate continuous wave (CW) ultrasound at 90 kHz, through a reusable applicator/transducer that covers an area of about 6 cm². The small applicators allow treatment of less accessible body parts such as, for example, the heel, the Achilles tendon and the wrist. The device includes the above-mentioned transducers with a cable which connects to a small, rechargeable, battery-powered driver unit and self-adhering patch to apply the transducer on to the skin. The unit is also supplied with a charger used for recharging the battery. Ultrasonic gel is typically not required to be used with the PainShield MD PLUS device. However, for treatment over hairy sites where there might not be adequate sonic coupling between the applicator and the skin, users are instructed to apply standard, FDA-cleared ultrasound gel to the site to improve coupling.

#### Indications for Use:

The PainShield MD PLUS is intended to apply ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.

{7}------------------------------------------------

The technological characteristics, features, specifications, materials, mode of operation, and intended use of PainShield MD PLUS is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (PainShield MD). The differences between the PainShield MD PLUS and the predicate device (such as two actuators, separation of the actuator, and self-adhesive patch) do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. The second actuator available with PainShield MD PLUS is intended to increase the physical area over which the therapy is made available. The tandem operation of the two actuators does not introduce new safety concerns for the user. The separation of the actuator and the self-adhesive patch improves the ability to reuse the actuator and replace the self-adhesive patch after each use.

#### Conclusion:

The PainShield MD PLUS is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (PainShield MD manufactured by NanoVibronix, Inc.).
