## Indications for Use

For TENS programs: The device is an electrical nerve stimulator indicated for use for pain relief by applying an electrical current to electrodes on a patient's skin to treat pain. In particular, this device is indicated for use for (1) Symptomatic relief of chronic (long term) intractable pain, and (2) adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain problems. For EMS programs: The device is an electrical powered muscle stimulator indicated for medical purpose to repeatedly contract muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. In particular, this device is indicated for use for (1) Relaxing muscle spasms, (2) Increasing local blood circulation, (3) Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, (4) Muscle re-education, (5) Maintaining or increasing range of motion, and (6) Preventing or retarding disuse atrophy.

## Device Story

HIVOX HD2 is a portable TENS/EMS stimulator; generates small electrical pulses delivered via lead cables to skin-surface electrodes. Operates by passing current through skin to activate underlying nerves (TENS) or induce muscle contraction (EMS). Used by patients or clinicians in clinical/home settings. Device features adjustable frequency (2-120.2 Hz) and fixed pulse width (250 µs). Powered by 3 AAA batteries. Provides symptomatic pain relief and muscle therapy. Healthcare providers use device output to manage pain and physical rehabilitation. Benefits include non-invasive pain management and muscle function maintenance.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and waveform testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Portable TENS/EMS stimulator; DC 4.5V (3x AAA batteries). Constant voltage output. Max output 24.0V/48.0mA (@ 500 Ω). Fixed pulse width 250 µs; frequency 2-120.2 Hz. Plastic housing. Connectivity via lead cables to carbon silicon electrodes (45x45 mm). Standards: IEC/EN 60601-1, IEC/EN 60601-1-2, IEC/EN 60601-2-10.

## 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.

Dear Dr. Jen:

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. Iisting 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.

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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
