No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components for nerve stimulation and catheter placement, with no mention of AI or ML for data analysis, image processing, or decision support.
Yes.
The device is used for delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia, which is a medical treatment, thus qualifying it as a therapeutic device.
No.
The device is intended for the delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia, not for diagnosis. The electrical stimulus mentioned is used to help pinpoint the area of application for the anesthesia, which is part of the therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly mentions physical components such as needles, plastic cannulas, catheters, cables, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device with potential electrical stimulation capabilities, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The PAJUNK Plexolong sets are used for the delivery of anesthesia directly into the body (peripheral nerves and plexus). They are a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure (anesthesia), not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia." This is a direct medical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, the PAJUNK Plexolong sets fall under the category of a medical device used for a therapeutic purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PAJUNK Plexolong sets consist of Pajunk Unipolar conduction needle with a plastic cannula placed over the needle. They are intended for delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves and plexus for up to 72 hours. Continuous delivery for up to 72 hours is accomplished using the Polyamide indwelling catheter. An electrical stimulus may be applied to the conduction needle via a cable and connector to assist the physician pinpoint the area of application.

Device Name:
Trade Name: Plexolong Sets Common Name: Anesthesia Conduction Kit Classification Name: Anesthesia Conduction Kit (Reference, 21CFR, 868.5140, April 1, 2000)
Predicate Device:
The Plexus Anesthesia sets consist of a Pajunk Unipolar needle (with nerve stimulus connector and tubing), a plastic cannula, front-end open tip catheter with Teflon coated stylet and catheter adapter. The Unipolar needles (with nerve stimulus connector and tubing) have been cleared for market by the FDA under 510(k) number K000722.
The plastic cannula, front-end open tip catheter with Teflon coated stylet and catheter adapter are substantially equivalent to the plastic cannula. catheter with stylet and catheter adapter contained in identical sets manufactured by B Braun Medical Inc. that were cleared by the Food and Drug Administration under 510(k) number K840287.
The contract sterilizer and sterilizing process are identical to those used for the Pajunk Unipolar needles. The packaging materials are also the same as those used to package the Pajunk Unipolar needles. The difference is that the packaging is slightly larger to accommodate the plastic cannula, catheter with stylet and catheter adapter.

Warning:
The Pajunk GmbH needles and puncture sets are not intended for RF ablation or any other type of ablation procedure.
Technology Characteristics:
The PAJUNK Unipolar needles, which include the physical dimensions, coating, connector, tubing, metal and plastics, have been cleared under 510(k) number K000722. The material used to manufacturer the Pajunk catheter and catheter adapter are identical to the material used to manufacture the catheter and catheter adapter of the predicate device described earlier in this 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness. The Plexolong Anesthesia Sets are supplied in sealed polypropylene containers or polypropylene and styrol paper envelopes that are sealed to assure sterility.
Conclusion
The Pajunk Plexolong Anesthesia Sets are as safe and effective as the predicate device when used in accordance with the instructions supplied with the device.
