Intended Use

The Aura Wave is indicated: • To temporarily increase local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles • To stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance

Device Story

Aura Wave is a noninvasive powered muscle stimulator using electrically generated magnetic fields to stimulate muscles. System comprises a main control unit and five accessory attachments (coils: Large Loop, Butterfly Loop, Wings, Half Body Mat, Paddle) for targeted anatomical treatment. Operator uses a 5-button interface to control magnetic pulse generator intensity (levels 1-20) and treatment duration (1-90 minutes). Device is used in home or clinical settings by patients or professionals. Magnetic field induction stimulates muscle tissue to improve performance and increase local blood circulation. Firmware manages user interface and pulse parameters. Benefits include noninvasive muscle conditioning and circulation support without disposable electrodes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including signal waveform output measurements, magnetic flux output verification across all intensity levels, and adherence to electrical safety, EMC, usability, and biocompatibility standards (ISO 10993).

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-controlled magnetic field stimulator. Output: up to 0.19 T; pulse rate 0.4-5.8 Hz; pulse duration 0.13-0.24 mS. Power: 120 Vac. Accessories: coils (loops, mat, paddle). Standards: IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-6, 60601-1-11, 62366-1, 62304. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1, -5, -10.

Indications for Use

Indicated for healthy individuals to temporarily increase local blood circulation in leg muscles and to stimulate healthy muscles to improve or facilitate muscle performance. Suitable for OTC home care and clinical professional use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Dear Scott Blomberg:

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.

VII Equivalence Rationale

The subject device Aura Wave and the predicate device Bemer Pro Set are both noninvasive physical medicine devices that use electrically generated magnetic fields to stimulate muscles and other tissues for a variety of benefits to the patient. Those benefits include a temporary increase in blood circulation in healthy leg muscles, and the stimulation of healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance.

Both systems share the following characteristics:

- A main unit which is a solid-state microprocessor controlled electronic device and is powered from mains.
- One or more accessories which are attached to the main unit for the purpose of delivering magnetic field therapy to the patient.
- Relatively small (< 10 pounds) and can be easily transported.
- Tested to applicable safety and EMC standards for both home care and professional use environments.
- Operator adjustable therapy timer and adjustable power output.

The subject device Aura Wave, and the reference device Aura Nova HD+ share some key characteristics:

- Identical user interface.
- Very similar waveform output in terms of waveform shape and pulse rate.
- Similar induced current (estimated for tissue).
- Both use the Aura Large Loop accessory.
- Both offer one operating channel.

The subject device Aura Wave, and the predicate device Bemer Pro Set both offer a variety of accessories to give the user the option of treating either a targeted part of the anatomy with the smaller accessories to large areas of the anatomy such as the back with the largest accessories.

Non-clinical Testing

Performance testing demonstrated that the subject treatment applicator performed equivalent to the predicate applicator. Testing included:

Performance testing involved multiple measurements of:

- Signal waveform output (volts) generated from Aura Wave with its applicators.
- Magnetic flux output (mT) generated from the applicator at all signal intensity input levels 1-20.

Software

- All software features documented and tested in accordance with IEC 62304 for ‘Moderate’ level of concern.

## Clinical Testing

Not applicable. No clinical testing was performed.

## CONCLUSIONS

The analysis of the differences between Aura Wave and the predicate device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness for the subject device. Based on device performance test results, Aura Wellness determines that the Aura Wave system performs within its design specifications and is equivalent to the predicate device.

The information in this 510(k) submission demonstrates that the Aura Wave system is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
