## Device Story

Rich-Mar Winner CM4 is a multi-modality therapeutic device combining ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and microcurrent therapy. Device delivers therapeutic deep heat via ultrasound; electrical stimulation via quadpolar, bipolar, monophasic, and Russian waveforms; and microamperage pulsed current. Operated by clinicians in medical settings for physical therapy and rehabilitation. Ultrasound output targets deep tissue for pain and spasm relief; electrical stimulation modes facilitate muscle re-education, circulation, and atrophy prevention. Microcurrent and interferential modes provide pain management. Device output allows clinicians to tailor treatment parameters to specific patient musculoskeletal conditions, aiding recovery and functional mobility.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-modality system providing therapeutic ultrasound, powered muscle stimulation (quadpolar, bipolar, monophasic, Russian waveforms), and microamperage pulsed current. Class II device. Operates as a powered muscle stimulator, TENS, ultrasonic diathermy, and interferential current therapy unit.

## Regulatory 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.

Dated: July 31, 2001 Received: August 23, 2001

Dear Mr. Richards:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
