The Neotonus MS-101 is indicated for use in stimulating neuromuscular tissues for bulk muscle excitation in the legs or arms for rehabilitative purposes. Indications for Use for Muscle Stimulators: - Relaxation of muscle spasms - Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy - Increasing local blood circulation - Muscle re-education - Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis - Maintaining or increasing range of motion ## Device Story System comprises stimulator control unit and treatment wand; wand contains 'C'-shaped magnetic coil. Control unit generates voltage signal to charge coil; coil held against patient skin over target muscle group. User-adjustable parameters: pulse frequency (1-55 Hz), pulse amplitude (0-100%), on-cycle (1-30 sec), off-cycle (0-60 sec). Used under medical supervision for rehabilitative muscle excitation. Magnetic stimulation induces neuromuscular tissue response; produces muscle contractions comparable to electrical stimulation. Benefits include muscle re-education, spasm reduction, and atrophy prevention. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical study with nine healthy volunteers. Compared MS-101 magnetic stimulation to RICH-MAR electrical stimulation on knee extensor muscles. Results showed comparable skeletal muscle responses, identical sigmoidal relationships between stimulus amplitude/frequency and muscle torque, and similar muscle fatigue and relaxation time profiles. ## Technological Characteristics Magnetic muscle stimulator; consists of control unit and 'C'-shaped magnetic coil wand. Energy source: electrical pulse generator. Adjustable parameters: frequency (1-55 Hz), amplitude (0-100%), duty cycle (1-30s), rest period (0-60s). Non-invasive, external application. ## 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 - RICH-MAR Theratouch electrical muscle stimulator ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

MS-101 Magnetic Muscle Stimulator System K973929 - Sponsor 1. Neotonus, Inc. 810-A Franklin Court Marietta, GA 30067 Tony J. Morris Contact Person: President May 21, 1998 Date Prepared: ### Devicc Name 2. Classification Name: Powered Muscle Stimulator, 21 CFR 890.5850, Product Code 89IPF, Class II MS-101 Magnetic Muscle Stimulator System Proprietary Name: #### Intended Use 3. The Neotonus MS-101 Magnetic Muscle Stimulator System is intended to be used under medical supervision for adjunctive therapy for the treatment of medical diseases and conditions. The Neotonus MS-101 is indicated for use in stimulating neuromuscular tissues for bulk muscle excitation in the legs or arms for rehabilitative purposes. Indications for Use for Muscle Stimulators: - Relaxation of muscle spasms 8 - Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy 4 - Increasing local blood circulation . - Muscle re-education . - Immediate post-surgical stimulation of call muscles to prevent venous . thrombosis - Maintaining or increasing range of motion . #### 4. Device Description The MS-101 Magnetic Muscle Stimulator System consists of a stimulator Control Unit and a Treatment Wand. The Control Unit is used to generate a voltage signal that and the comments of the management one offer and the county of the market of the many .. ... {1}------------------------------------------------ periodically charges a "C" shaped magnetic coil which is held against the patient's skin nearest the muscle group to be stimulated. Controls are available to vary the pulse frequency (1-55 Hz), pulse amplitude (0-100%), on-cycle "Duty" period (1-30 sec) and off-duty "Rest" period (0-60 sec). #### Basis For Substantial Equivalence ર્ડ The MS-101 is substantially equivalent to electrical stimulators used for muscle renabilitation and the indications as stated above. In particular, the MS-101 is substantially equivalent to the RICII-MAR Theratouch electrical muscle stimulator. A clinical study was conducted to compare the physiological effect of the MS-101 to that of the RICH-MAR electrical stimulator. The knee extensor muscles of nine healthy volunteers with varying degrees of muscle tone were stimulated using both the MS-101 and the electrical muscle stimulator. The study showed that: - . The skelctal muscle responses evoked by the MS-101 were comparable to those evoked using the RICH-MAR electrical stimulator. - . Both types of stimulation evoked the classic sigmoidal relationships between stimulus amplitude and muscle torque and between stimulus frequency and muscle torque. - Both types of stimulation evoked the classic muscle fatigue and increased one-. half relaxation time with repeat contractions. - The MS-101 is substantially equivalent to electromyostimulation for muscle rehabilitation. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
