Contact: Ms. Jenny Hsieh General Manager DEC 1 9 2007 Date of Summary Preparation: November 23, 2007. - 2. Name of the Device: | Trade name: | Well-Life OTC Abdomen System; model WL-2412 | |----------------------|---------------------------------------------| | Common name: | Powered Muscle Stimulator | | Classification name: | Stimulator, Muscle, Powered | | Product Code: | NGX | - 3. Information of the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device): For this 510(k) submission, we compared our models to the following FDA cleared OTC devices: - K010335: Slendertone Flex, made by Bio-Medical Research Ltd. - 4. Device Description: The Well-Life OTC ABDOMEN SYSTEM model WL-2412 is battery-operated programmable muscle stimulator intended to improve or facilitate muscle performance by applying an electrical current to electrodes, which are attached on abdomen. Well-Life OTC ABDOMEN SYSTEM model WL-2412, consists mainly of three parts: the stimulator , electrodes, and support belts fitting for special parts of body. The stimulator generates the output current specified as the input of controller. The output port transmits the output current to the electrode, which is attached to the specified region, so as to transmit this stimulus current to the region of abdomen for the following intended purposes: - Strengthening, toning and firming of the abdomen region. To adequately locate the stimulation on the intended treatment area, the following support belt is provided together with the stimulator: - · The abdomen belt, which is capable of connecting to the both two output channels of stimulator. Page 1 of 3 {1}------------------------------------------------ The stimulation mode for Well- Life OTC ABDOMEN SYSTEM includes several different operation modes as mentioned on the comparison table. These operation modes are generated from the software control by using the microprocessor as its main control unit. ## 5. Intended Use: Basically the indication for use is defined clearly as the description of the following table: | Model Name | Statement of “indication for use” | Intended for | |------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| | WL-2412 | The electrical muscle stimulator intended for the following indication for use:
• Strengthening, toning and firming of the abdomen region. | OTC | #### 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, EN 60601-1-1, 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 Well Life OTC ABDOMEN SYSTEM, model WL-2412, has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the cleared device of Slendertone Flex (K010335). Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate that the difference in the submitted model could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device. ln the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. Therefore, the Well Life OTC ABDOMEN SYSTEM, model WL-2412, is substantial equivalent to the chosen predicate model. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
