The new milestone is procurement access. X1 applies mechanical stimulation to peripheral nerve distributions at the wrist; it is not electrical muscle stimulation.
FDA record K251517 dates its 510(k) clearance to February 5, 2026. The indication is assistance with hand-tremor relief in the treated limb during stimulation in adults with essential tremor.
Summary
On October 15, Encora announced that VA facilities can order its prescription X1 wrist wearable through Lovell Government Services.
