Attribute	BTL Aesthetics Emsculpt NEO	Sofwave Pure Impact
FDA status & indication	FDA record cited — see scopeK192224, K202199 Record scope: K192224 names BTL-899 and covers abdominal lipolysis and circumference reduction in skin types I–III. K202199 names BTL-899ST and adds thighs, retaining skin types I–III. These two cited indications concern fat and circumference; muscle-conditioning claims and newer applicators require their own applicable records and labeling. Read FDA indication wording “BTL-899 is indicated to be used for: • Non-invasive lipolysis (breakdown of fat) of the abdomen. • Reduction in circumference of the abdomen • The BTL-899 is intended for use with Skin Type I to Skin Type III.”	FDA record cited — see scopeK251746 Record scope: 510(k): K251746 (decision 2 Jul 2025). Checked 4 Sep 2026. Read FDA indication wording “Pure Impact is indicated to be used for: • Improvement of abdominal tone, for strengthening of the abdominal muscles, for development of firmer abdomen. • Improvement of muscle tone and firmness, for strengthening muscles in arms, thighs and buttocks areas. • The Pure Impact is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Pure Impact is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. The various types of muscle work that the Pure Impact can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The Pure Impact may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training. The indications for use statement for the subject device is identical to that of the previously cleared Pure Impact Module of the SofWave System in K250146.”
