A control panel allows the user to turn the product on/off, modify the temperature, and set the product's timer. ## Performance Data In all instances, the Bio-Mat functioned as intended, and passed the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) detailed/extensive tests (see Attachment 18A). These tests included the function, performance, safety, and durability of the Bio-Mat. A total of 70 Bio-Mats were eventually sent to the Underwriters Laboratories which indicates how complete the testing was. # Substantial Equivalence The Bio-Mat is as safe and effective as the predicate devices identified above. The Bio-Mat has the same intended uses and similar indications as the predicate devices. The technological differences between the Bio-Mat and the predicate devices that used infrared ray technology do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness (see Substantial Equivalence Chart). {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

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. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 -- Mr. LeRoy Klima This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification.
