Intended Use
With handheld applicators: PMS mode: Fotona StarFormer is intended for muscle conditioning, used for stimulating muscles including abdomen muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. Fotona StarFormer is intended to be used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy. Fotona StarFormer is intended for stimulating neuromuscular tissue for bulk muscle excitation in arms, legs, buttocks and thighs for rehabilitative purposes - Prevention of disuse atrophy and increasing local blood circulation. TENS mode: Fotona StarFormer is intended to stimulate peripheral nerves for relief of chronic intractable, post traumatic and post-surgical pain for patients 18 years or older. Fotona StarFormer is to be used for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore or aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, upper extremities (arm), and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. With Chair Back applicator: TENS mode: Fotona StarFormer is intended to stimulate peripheral nerves in the back for relief of chronic intractable, post traumatic and post-surgical pain for patients 18 years or older. Fotona StarFormer is to be used for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore or aching muscles in the back due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.
Device Story
Non-invasive therapeutic device; utilizes magnetic stimulation coils in handheld applicators and chair backrest. System controller sends alternating electric current to coils; generates rapidly changing magnetic waves propagating into tissue; induces secondary electric current to stimulate nerves and muscles. Used in hospitals and clinics under physician supervision. Provides muscle conditioning (PMS mode) and peripheral nerve stimulation (TENS mode). Output controlled via touchscreen GUI. Benefits include muscle performance improvement, disuse atrophy prevention, and pain relief. Device includes system controller, high-voltage power supply, applicators, and chair.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only. Performance established via electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), software verification/validation, cybersecurity testing, and magnetic field strength bench testing.
Technological Characteristics
Magnetic stimulation device; 100-240V AC power; 1.8T magnetic field intensity; 1-80 Hz pulse repetition rate; 330 µs pulse width; biphasic sine waveform. Touchscreen interface. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, and IEC 62304. Software-controlled via microprocessor.
Indications for Use
Indicated for muscle conditioning, neuromuscular tissue stimulation for bulk muscle excitation (arms, legs, buttocks, thighs), prevention of disuse atrophy, and increasing local blood circulation in patients under medical supervision. Also indicated for TENS-based relief of chronic intractable, post-traumatic, and post-surgical pain, and temporary relief of muscle soreness/aching (shoulder, waist, back, extremities) in patients 18 years or older.
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 Tina Bartolic:
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 (the 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. 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 available 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
