## Indications for Use

Relaxation of muscle spasms. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy. Increasing local blood circulation. Muscle re-education. Immediate post-surgical simulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis. Maintaining or increasing range of motion.

## Device Story

CLASSIC NMS™ is a powered muscle stimulator used for therapeutic muscle stimulation. Device delivers electrical output to muscles to achieve clinical goals including spasm relaxation, atrophy prevention, circulation improvement, muscle re-education, and post-surgical thrombosis prevention. Operated by clinicians or patients in clinical or home settings. Output characteristics are electrically equivalent to predicate device. Device utilizes jacks and cables compliant with FDA performance standards for electrode lead wires and patient cables. Benefits include improved muscle function and prevention of post-surgical complications.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence determined via bench testing of electrical output characteristics.

## Technological Characteristics

Powered muscle stimulator (21 CFR 890.5850). Electrical stimulation via electrodes. Features jacks and cables compliant with FDA performance standards for electrode lead wires and patient cables. Standalone device.

## Regulatory Identification

A powered muscle stimulator is an electrically powered device intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area.

## Predicate Devices

- Ortho Dx ([K971542](/device/K971542.md))

Dear Mr. Hunt:

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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
