(274 days)
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.
The PAJUNK Plexolong sets are single use sterile, Latex free and nonpvrogenic needles, with a plastic cannula and catheter intended for delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves and plexus for up to 72 hours. 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.
This document is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the PAJUNK Plexolong Sets. It describes a medical device and its intended use, but it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets reported performance metrics.
The 510(k) process is primarily a premarket notification to demonstrate that a device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device, not necessarily to prove specific performance against acceptance criteria in the way a clinical trial or a formal validation study would.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it is not present in the provided text. The document focuses on:
- Device Description: What the device is composed of and how it works.
- Intended Use: The medical purpose for which the device is designed.
- Predicate Device: The legally marketed device to which the new device is compared for substantial equivalence.
- Technological Characteristics: How the new device's components compare to the predicate device.
- Conclusion: A statement that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
- FDA Clearance Letter: Confirmation of substantial equivalence.
There is no mention of:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or number of experts.
- Adjudication methods.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Type of ground truth used or how it was established for training or testing.

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.

Dear Mr. Brandt:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
