Intended Use
The AVID-NIT Nerve Stimulation Needles consist of an insulated hollow needles intended for locating peripheral nerves by electrical stimulation, and for the single shot administration of a local anesthetic drug. These needles are to be used with battery powered periphera1 nerve locators only. These needles are specifically not intended for nerve stimulation for purposes other than nerve location. These needles are specifically not intended for neurolytic ablation.

No
The summary describes a simple nerve stimulation needle and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is used for locating peripheral nerves by electrical stimulation and administering local anesthetic, not for treating a disease or condition. Its intended use explicitly states it is "not intended for nerve stimulation for purposes other than nerve location" and "not intended for neurolytic ablation."

Yes

The device aids in "locating peripheral nerves by electrical stimulation," which is a diagnostic function to determine the precise location of nerves for further medical intervention.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "insulated hollow needles," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the AVID-NIT Nerve Stimulation Needles are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • AVID-NIT Function: The AVID-NIT Nerve Stimulation Needles are used in vivo (within the living body) for locating peripheral nerves by electrical stimulation and administering local anesthetic. They interact directly with the patient's body, not with specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, the AVID-NIT Nerve Stimulation Needles fall under the category of in vivo medical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Henderson:

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 vour 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

Page 2 - Mr. Scott Henderson

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
