Dear Aventaggiato Matteo:

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.

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"

# 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Remote Wave Electrode is an active analogue electrode for detecting any surface electromyographic signals, used for controlling prosthetic devices. It is compact and low-power, ensuring an accurate and fast reading of muscle electrical potentials generated voluntarily by the user. It also provides a real-time output signal proportional to the detected muscle activation.

Therefore,

Through the Remote Wave Electrode it is possible to non-invasively detect the electrical signal produced by the residual muscles on the patient's amputated limb (unilateral or bilateral amputees, starting from a transradial amputation level) and send an electrical signal to the electronic board of the prosthetic hand with a proportional width to the detected contraction.

Remote Wave Electrode is only compatible with the Adam's Hand Family, including Adam's Hand (medium e small), Adam's Hand Plus and Adam's Hook prosthetic hands that, according to the Regulation Number 890.3420, are classified as class I medical devices.

Remote Wave Electrode is available in two different models:

- Mod. AE03-50, with notch filter centred on the 50 Hz frequency;
- Mod. AE03-60, with notch filter centred on the 60 Hz frequency

# 5. INDICATION FOR USE

The Remote Wave Electrode is to be used exclusively for external prosthetic fittings of the upper limbs.

# 6. COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE

The following table compares the Remote Wave Electrode to the Wave Electrode, with pre-market authorization (K242326) approved, with respect to indications for use, principles of operation, technological characteristics, materials used, and performance. The comparison of the devices provides more detailed information regarding the basis for the determination of substantial equivalence.

The Remote Wave Electrode has the same characteristics as the Wave Electrode, but it has metallic plates for contact with the skin located outside the electrode case and connected to it through three shielded cables.

Remote Wave Electrode

# 7. NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Considering that the **Remote Wave Electrode** is intended to be used in conjunction with “Adam's Hand®” prosthetic hand, the safety of the electrodes have been demonstrated through the tests performed on the whole system (Electrodes + “Adam's Hand®” prosthetic hand)

- Electrical safety test according to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11 standards
- Electromagnetic compatibility test according to IEC 60601-1-2 standard

The **Remote Wave Electrode** does not require an additional battery beyond the one present in the upper limb prosthetic system, and does not include any software.

The material used for the construction of the applied part of the Remote Wave Electrode (AISI 316L steel) is the same used for the cleared (K242326) Wave Electrode. The material has been directly evaluated for the biological safety to exclude the toxicological concerns, by an accredited laboratory as following:

- Cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5
- Skin irritation testing per ISO 10993-10
- Sensitization testing per ISO 10993-23

The **Remote Wave Electrode** was also tested internally to ensure that it meets design specifications &amp; requirements and operates as intended when is used in conjunction with “Adam's Hand®” prosthetic hand.

# 8. CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

No human clinical testing was required to support the medical device as the indications for use are equivalent to the predicate device. These types of devices, belonging to product category GXY, have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device. The nonclinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device.

# 9. STATEMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The technological characteristics, features, specifications, materials, mode of operation, and intended use of **Remote Wave Electrode** are substantially equivalent to the electrodes included in the Wave Electrode quoted above already placed on the US market K242326.
