Intended Use

For Mode 0, Ova+ is indicated for temporary relief of pain associated with dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) when used with over-the-counter pain medication. For Modes 1, 2& 3 Ova+ is indicated for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. The Ova+ is intended for use in the home. lt should be used only by women aged 18 and above.

Device Story

Ova+ is a battery-powered, single-channel Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) for home use. It delivers electrical stimulation to superficial nerves via self-adhesive electrodes placed on intact skin. The device features four preset treatment modes controlled by manual push-buttons. It is designed to be worn under clothing to provide continuous, drug-free pain relief. The user selects the mode and intensity; the device provides electrical pulses to modulate pain perception. It benefits patients by offering a non-invasive, portable option for managing menstrual and musculoskeletal pain. The device is intended for use by women aged 18 and older.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including electrical safety, EMC, and software verification, alongside a usability study conducted per ISO 62366.

Technological Characteristics

Battery-powered (3.7V Li-Ion) TENS unit. Materials: ABS plastic, silicone. Output: Biphasic, rectangular waveform. Connectivity: Wired electrodes (2mm pins). Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366-1. Software: Microprocessor-controlled, verified per IEC 62304.

Indications for Use

Indicated for women aged 18+ for temporary relief of dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) when used with OTC pain medication (Mode 0) and temporary relief of sore/aching muscles in shoulder, waist, back, neck, arms, and legs due to exercise or household strain (Modes 1-3).

Device Description The Ova+ is a non-invasive small and convenient unit that can be worn under clothing to provide safe, continuous, drug-free period pain relief whilst maintaining a normal, active lifestyle. The device is battery powered, single channel home using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). The device is supplied with self-adhesive electrodes which connect to the control unit by cable and plug and are placed on patients' intact skin by the end user. Electrical stimulation is delivered via these self-adhesive electrodes to superficial nerves. The unit is intended for home use by the patient and is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. It has four preset treatment Modes. The level of electrical stimulation of Ova+ is easily controlled by the end user using manual, push-button controls. The new device Ova+ uses the same technical principle and substantially equivalent stimulation parameters to the marketed device Livia (K183110) and/or reference predicate device Perfect EMS (K200694) The Ova+ uses a rechargeable Li-Ion polymer battery and a custom TENS connecting lead with 2mm connecting pins. The Ova+ is supplied with adhesive electrodes that are similar to those of the predicate devices. ## 5. Indication For Use/Intended Use For Mode 0, Ova+ is indicated for temporary relief of pain associated with dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) when used with over-the-counter pain medication. For Modes 1, 2& 3 Ova+ is indicated for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. ### Intended Use The Ova+ is intended for use in the home. lt should be used only by women aged 18 and above. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## 6.
