## 5. Intended Use:
The models GM310PP, GM321PP, and GM330PP are indicated for over the counter use in the temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the low back due to stain from exercise or normal household and work activities.
For the indication for use statement, please see the information attached hereafter.
## 6. Technological characteristics:
A comparison of the technological characteristics of the Gemore models GM310PP, GM320PP, GM321PP, and GM330PP and the predicate device has been performed. The results of this demonstrate that the Gemore model GM310PP, GM320PP, GM321PP, and GM330PP are equivalent to the marketed predicate device. The differences between the Gemore models GM310PP, GM321PP, GM321PP, and GM330PP and the predicate models are insignificant and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.
### 7. Performance data:
Since there is not any significant change in the construction specification for the main stimulation unit GM310PP. GM321PP. GM321PP. and GM330PP. the performance testing reports according to ANSI/AAMI NS4, and the safety testing reports according to EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-1, and EN 60601-1-2 as mentioned in the previous 510(k) submission documents are still available for this submission.
For the additional fixing part, the neoprene belt, the bio-compatibility testing report done according to ISO 10993-1 as well as the relevant standards are included in this submission.
## 8. Conclusions
Gemore Technology Inc, has demonstrated through its evaluation of the Gemore models GM310PP, GM320PP, GM321PP, and GM330PP that the devices are equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Lai:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and have determined the devices are 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 devices, 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.
