Intended Use
The ANS Neurostimulation system is indicated for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) in the treatment of chronic pain of trunk and limbs, either as the sole mitigating agent, or as an adjunct to other modes of therapy used in a multidisciplinary approach. The Rapid Programmer is intended to assist clinicians in determining the optimum performance while automatically logging procedures data. Rapid Programmer also allows the clinician to optimize performance by leading the patient through a series of device parameter combinations and recording the stimulation effects. This system uses a touch screen computer to program the stimulator to the required waveforms and electrode configurations and to log the information derived.

No
The description focuses on programming and logging data, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like learning, prediction, or automated decision-making based on data analysis.

Yes
The device is used to treat chronic pain, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device, the ANS Neurostimulation system and its Rapid Programmer, is described as a system for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) to treat chronic pain, and for programming and optimizing the stimulator's performance. Its purpose is therapeutic and operational, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses a "touch screen computer" to program a stimulator, indicating a hardware component (the computer) is part of the system, and the intended use is for Spinal Cord Stimulation, which involves an implanted or external stimulator device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) to treat chronic pain of the trunk and limbs. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device is a programmer used to configure a stimulator. This is a tool for controlling a therapeutic device, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 882.5880 Implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief.

(a)
Identification. An implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief is a device that is used to stimulate electrically a patient's spinal cord to relieve severe intractable pain. The stimulator consists of an implanted receiver with electrodes that are placed on the patient's spinal cord and an external transmitter for transmitting the stimulating pulses across the patient's skin to the implanted receiver.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms. Moza:

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.

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. 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) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
