- (a)Identification. A limited output transcutaneous piezoelectric stimulator for skin reactions associated with insect bites is a device intended to alleviate skin reactions associated with insect bites via cutaneous, piezoelectric stimulation at the local site of the bite.
- (b)Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
- (1)Appropriate testing to characterize the electrical output specifications of the device (i.e., total charge delivered, maximum instantaneous output current, maximum instantaneous output voltage, pulse duration, charge density) must be conducted.
- (2)Mechanical bench testing must demonstrate that the device will withstand the labeled number duration of uses.
- (3)All elements of the device that may contact the patient must be assessed to be biocompatible.
- (4)Labeling must include:
- (i)Validated instructions which addresses the following:
- (A)Identification of areas of the body which are appropriate and not appropriate for contact with the device.
- (B)Whether use of the device in conjunction with flammable materials (e.g., insect repellent) is appropriate.
- (C)Use of the device on or near implanted devices.
- (D)How to identify the correct type of skin condition.
- (ii)Technical parameters of the device (maximum output voltage (instantaneous), maximum output current (instantaneous), and pulse duration).
- (iii)Language to direct end users to contact the device manufacturer and MedWatch if they experience any adverse events with this device.
- (iv)The anticipated number of device uses prior to failure.
- (i)Validated instructions which addresses the following:
