When used for pain relief, the standard indications for use are: - symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain . and/or - an adjunctive treatment in the management of post . surgical and posttraumatic acute pain. ## Device Story MEDSTAR 100 is a DC battery-powered interferential stimulator; generates small electrical current pulses. Device delivers pulses via lead cables to skin-surface electrodes; pulses activate underlying nerves to provide pain relief. Used under medical supervision for chronic pain management or post-surgical/post-traumatic acute pain. Healthcare provider applies electrodes and manages therapy settings. Output provides therapeutic electrical stimulation to patient. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Functional and safety testing performed using a signal generator, voltmeter, and 420-ohm resistor to verify electrical performance and electrode impedance. ## Technological Characteristics DC battery-powered interferential stimulator. Delivers electrical pulses via lead cables and skin electrodes. Electrical performance verified via impedance calculation (Z = V7/V1 x R). ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - HMP 4000 Interferential Stimulator ([K924961](/device/K924961.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Mathews | | TITLE: | President | | DATE PREPARED: | September 11, 2001 | | TRADE NAME: | MEDSTAR™ 100 Interferential Stimulator | | COMMON NAME: | Interferential Stimulator (LIH) | | CLASSIFICATION: | Class II | | PRODUCT CODE: | LIH | | PREDICATE DEVICE (S): | HMP 4000 Interferential Stimulator (K924961) | | DEVICE DESCRIPTION: | The MEDSTAR 100 is a DC battery powered device
that generates small pulses of electric current. These
small pulses of electrical current are delivered through
leads cables to electrodes placed on the skin. These
electrical pulses pass through the skin and activate
underlying nerves. | 10F2 4 {1}------------------------------------------------ K013082 20F2 #### INTENDED USE: Interferential Stimulation is used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy in the treatment of medical diseases and conditions to relive pain. When used for pain relief, the standard indications for use are: - symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain . and/or - an adjunctive treatment in the management of post . surgical and posttraumatic acute pain. ### FUNCTIONAL & SAFETY TESTING: Was performed with a signal generator voltmeter, 420 ohm resistor, and alligator clip wires. The signal generator was set to 1000 Hz and V1 was set at approximately 2 volts. The voltage drop across the electrodes (V7) was measured and the impedance of the electrodes calculation is as follows: Impedance (Z) = V7/V1 x R Where V2 and V1 are the voltage meter readings. Refer to section 6 for further details. #### CONCLUSION: The MEDSTAR™ 100 Interferential Stimulator is substantially equivalent to the HMP 4000 Interferential Stimulator for intended use, design, and electrical performance. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
