Intended Use

The Bionicare® Stimulator System Model BIO-1000™ is indicated for use as an adjunctive therapy in reducing the level of pain, and stiffness associated with pain, from rheumatoid arthritis of the hand.

Device Story

Bionicare® Stimulator System, Model BIO-1000, is a rechargeable battery-operated TENS device. It generates a monophasic spike-shaped pulse with adjustable amplitude (0-12V peak) at a fixed frequency of 100 ± 5 Hz. The device uses a single channel to deliver electrical stimulation via electrodes applied to the hand and arm using conductive gel. It is intended for use as an adjunctive therapy to manage pain and stiffness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. The device is operated by the patient or clinician. By delivering controlled electrical pulses, the system aims to provide symptomatic relief, potentially improving patient comfort and mobility.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of electrical characteristic verification, conformance to ANSI/AAMI NS4-1985 standards, and UL 544 leakage current testing.

Technological Characteristics

Rechargeable 12V battery-operated TENS stimulator; monophasic spike-pulse waveform; 0-12V peak amplitude; 100 Hz fixed frequency; 0.64 ms pulse width; single channel; dimensions 13.2 x 8.5 x 4.5 cm; weight 235g. Meets ANSI/AAMI NS4-1985 and UL 544 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adjunctive therapy to reduce pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis of the hand.

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.
