The garments feature integrated conductive metal snaps that connect to external snap cables and internal adhesive-backed electrode pads. The RS-LB is a wrap-style garment for the lower back; the RS-FBG is a vest-style garment covering the lower, middle, and upper back. Used in clinical or home settings, the garments allow patients or clinicians to easily position and maintain electrodes during repeated stimulation treatments, improving treatment compliance. The device does not generate stimulation itself but acts as a conduit for RS Medical Stimulators. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing verified electrical continuity from the stimulator through the cable sets and garment snaps to the cutaneous electrodes. Mechanical testing confirmed attachment and removal forces for cable sets and safety snap covers met specifications. ## Technological Characteristics Conductive garments (wrap and vest styles) featuring integrated metal snaps for electrode connectivity. Uses adhesive-backed cutaneous electrodes. Connectivity via snap cables to external stimulators. Non-sterile. ## Regulatory Identification A cutaneous electrode is an electrode that is applied directly to a patient's skin either to record physiological signals (e.g., the electroencephalogram) or to apply electrical stimulation. ## Predicate Devices - UltraStim® Kit ([K013532](/device/K013532.md)) - UltraStim® Electrodes ([K000947](/device/K000947.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The information provided in the 510(k) premarket notification was in accordance with 21 CFR 807.92. Date prepared: May 20, 2009 # 1. Applicant, Official Correspondent and Owner of 510(k) RS Medical 14001 S.E. First Street Vancouver, WA 98684 Attn: Timothy J. Johnson, Director of Regulatory Affairs Telephone: 360-823-4940 Fax: 866-210-6928 Official Correspondent: William Carroll # 2. Name of Device Trade/Proprietary Name: RS-LB™ Low Back Conductive Garment, RS-FBG™ Full Back Conductive Garment Common/Usual Name: Conductive garments Classification Name: Cutaneous electrode, 21 CFR 882.1320, product code GXY #### 3. Legally Market Predicate Devices The RS-LB™ Low Back Conductive Garment and RS-FBG™ Full Back Conductive Garment are substantially equivalent to the Axelgaard Manufacturing Company, Ltd. UltraStim® Kit (K013532) which include UltraStim® Electrodes (K000947). # 4. Indications for Use The RS Medical Conductive Garments and associated accessories are indicated for use with RS Medical Stimulators to facilitate electrode placement and maintenance of electrode positioning for stimulation treatments of the lower, middle and upper back. # 5. Device Description and Substantial Equivalence The RS Medical Conductive Garments consist of the RS-LB™ Low Back Conductive Garment and RS-FBG" Full Back Conductive Garment. The RS-LB" Low Back Conductive Garment is a wrap designed for the low back that uses Velcro® closures to affix the garment around the waist and lower back. The garment contains eight conductive metal snaps onto which a snap cable can be connected to the outside of the garment. These snaps extend through the garment and an adhesive backed {1}------------------------------------------------ electrode pad is affixed to the snap surface on the inner surface of the garment. The garment allows for easy electrode placement and stabilization of electrode locations on the back for repeated electrostimulation treatments to facilitate treatment compliance. The RS-FBG" Full Back Conductive Garment is a similar vest type compliance accessory that has sixteen metal snaps spaced from the lower back on either side of the spinal column to the middle and upper back. The RS Medical Conductive Garments utilize the identical UltraStim® Electrode pads used with the predicate device. The RS Medical Conductive Garments share the same principle of operation and intended use with the predicate device, the design features of the conductive metal snaps are the same and the products utilize the identical UltraStim® Electrode pads (private labeled under RS Medical's name) used with the predicate device. Based on the similarities, the RS Medical Conductive Garments and accessories are deemed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Axelgaard Manufacturing Company Ltd, UltraStim® Kit. ### 6. Non-Clinical Performance The RS Medical Conductive Garments were tested for electrical continuity from stimulator through cable sets through the garments' metal snaps to the double sided cutaneous electrode. The results of continuity testing met applicable specifications. The garments metal snaps were tested for attachment and removal force of the associated cable sets and safety snap covers and met applicable specifications. ### 7. Conclusions The non-clinical performance test results demonstrate that the RS Medical Conductive Garments are safe and effective in delivering electrical stimulation to the attached cutaneous electrodes. The devices perform in an equivalent manner as does the predicate device, the Axelgaard Manufacturing Company Ltd, UltraStim® Kit. {2}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
