FDA PRODUCT CODE · CLASS II
SGT — Electromagnetic Stimulator For Healthy Muscle Stimulation
A device used for other than medical purposes to induce an electrical current to the body using a time-varying magnetic field to temporarily increase local blood flow and stimulate healthy muscles. Unlike the classified Powered Muscle Stimulator devices intended for use in physical medicine and rehabilitation, this device is not intended for use in patients with medical conditions.
What these counts are not
Clearance and recall counts are SPEQ’s aggregation of FDA’s own published records for the code. A recall count is a measure of history, not of a device’s safety, neither number is an FDA rating, and SPEQ is not affiliated with the FDA.
What this classification requires
Every statement below is FDA’s own classification record for this product code, quoted from the device classification field reference. The SPEQ reading beneath each one is SPEQ’s interpretation of what it means for the work, and is not FDA text.
510(K)
SPEQ READINGA premarket notification under 21 CFR Part 807 Subpart E is the route for this code. The submission argues substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate, so the engineering question is which predicate the design can actually be compared against, and the evidence question is what testing supports that comparison.
Class II (moderate to high risk): general controls and special controls
SPEQ READINGSpecial controls are the distinguishing feature: performance standards, guidance documents, patient registries or postmarket surveillance named for the device type. Find the special controls before designing the test plan — they usually name the tests.
Device is not eligible for The Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program
SPEQ READINGIndividual malfunction reporting under 21 CFR Part 803 applies. The complaint-handling system has to produce a decision per event, not per period.
Not exempt due to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Quality System
SPEQ READINGThe full Quality Management System Regulation (21 CFR 820, incorporating ISO 13485:2016) applies, and is what an FDA inspection of this device will be conducted against.
Device is not implantable
SPEQ READINGNo implant-specific expectations attach from the classification itself.
Device is not used for life sustaining purposes
SPEQ READINGNo life-sustaining designation attaches to this code.
Device is a candidate for a third party review program
SPEQ READINGAn Accredited Person may conduct the 510(k) review instead of FDA. FDA still makes the clearance decision — third-party review changes who reviews, never who decides.
Other product codes under 21 CFR 890.5850
One regulation usually governs several product codes. These share this code’s regulation, and therefore its classification basis.
21 CFR 890.5850 — Powered muscle stimulator
The classification regulation for this product code, as published by the Office of the Federal Register. This is the regulation text itself — no SPEQ interpretation appears in it.
(a) 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.
(b) Classification. Class II (performance standards).
