## Indications for Use

The device is an interferential stimulator with TENS indications used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain.

## Device Story

The WL-2206A is an interferential stimulator that generates small real-sine electrical current pulses. The device delivers these pulses to the patient's skin via cables and electrodes to stimulate underlying nerves for the relief of chronic or acute pain. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals or patients under prescription. The device functions by applying electrical stimulation to the target area, which is intended to manage pain symptoms. It is a clinical or home-use device that provides symptomatic relief for chronic intractable pain.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with ANSI/AAMI NS4-1985, EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2 standards was demonstrated. Software verification was performed in accordance with FDA software guidance.

## Technological Characteristics

Interferential stimulator generating real-sine electrical pulses. Complies with ANSI/AAMI NS4-1985, EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2. Includes software-controlled stimulation parameters.

## 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.

## 510(K) Summary

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

The assigned 510(k) number is: Ko50847

- 1. Submitter's Identifications: Theratech, Inc. 1109 Myatt Blvd, Madison, TN 37115
Contact: Mr. Mike Price

Date of Summary Preparation: March 2005.

#### 2. Name of the Device:

IF series True sine interferential stimulator / Model: WL-2206A.

## 3. Information of the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):

WL-2206 (k024100) .

#### 4. Device Description:

The WL-2206A is the device which generates the small real-sine pulses of electrical current. The generated current may be delivered to the patient skin and/or underlying nerves through the cable and electrode placed on skin. Through the current stimulation the chronic and/or acute pain is to be relieved.

#### 5. Intended Use:

The device is an interferential stimulator with TENS indications used for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain.

In addition, the standard format for the statement of indications and contraindication for use are provided hereafter.

{1}------------------------------------------------

# 6. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:

Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ANSI/AAMI, NS4-1985, as well as EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2 requirement.

In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance.

#### 7. Conclusions

The true sine interferential stimulator, model WL-2206A, has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the cleared device of WL-2206 (k024100). Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission Moronstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device.

In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
