Intended Use

The Pajunk Stimulong Plus Catheter Sets are intended for delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves and plexus for up to 72 hours. Continuous delivery is accomplished using the conduction catheter. To assist the physician pinpoint the area of application an electrical stimulus can be applied to the conduction needle and after placement of the conduction catheter to its tip via the catheter adapter.

Device Description

The Paiunk Stimulong Plus Catheter Sets are single use, sterile, nonpyrogenic and latex free conduction anesthesia sets intended for delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves and plexus for up to 72 hours. The Stimulong Plus Catheter sets consist of a single use sterile, non-pvrogenic conduction needle with tubing, a conduction catheter and catheter adapter. Continuous delivery is accomplished using the conduction catheter. To assist the physician pinpoint the area of application an electrical stimulus can be applied to the conduction needle and after placement of the conduction catheter to its tip via the catheter adapter.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the Pajunk Stimulong Plus Catheter Sets. This document is a regulatory submission for a medical device and does not describe the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, as one would typically find for an AI/ML powered device.

Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices already on the market. This means the manufacturer is asserting that their new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device and does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it is not present in the provided text.

Here is a breakdown of why each specific point cannot be answered:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document does not establish specific performance acceptance criteria for the device in the way that, for example, a diagnostic AI system would have accuracy thresholds. Its performance is implicitly linked to its substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: No test set or data provenance is mentioned. The submission relies on comparison to existing legally marketed devices.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): No ground truth establishment or expert involvement in a study is described.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: No test set or adjudication method is described.
  5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is not an AI-powered device, and no MRMC study is mentioned.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is not an algorithm or AI device.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): No ground truth is mentioned in the context of a performance study.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not a device with a "training set" in the context of AI/ML.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, for the same reason as point 8.

In summary, the provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a non-AI medical device (anesthesia catheter sets) seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on the results of a performance study with acceptance criteria in the manner expected for an AI/ML-powered device.

Device Name:

Trade Name: Stimulong Plus Catheter Sets Common Name: Anesthesia Conduction Kit Classification Name: Anesthesia Conduction Kit (Reference, 21CFR, 868.5140, April 1, 2003)

Predicate Devices:

The Stimulong Plus Catheter sets consist of a Pajunk Unipolar conduction needle with either a facet tip, a Sprotte tip, or a Tuohy tip, all with nerve stimulus connector, tubing, a conduction catheter and catheter adapter. All Pajunk conduction cannula with nerve stimulus connector and tubing have been cleared for market by the FDA under 510(k) number K000722 (Unipolar facet and Sprotte tip). The Plexolong anesthesia sets which include a catheter and catheter adapter were cleared for market under FDA 510(k) No. K013041 and the Tuohy tip cannula with stimulus connector and tubing, catheter and catheter adapter have been cleared for market by the FDA under 510(k) No. K023218, (Plexolong Tuohy tip conduction anesthesia sets). The indications for use for all Plexolong sets is identical to that for the proposed Stimulong Plus Catheter sets, i.e. to gain entry and inject local anesthetics and to induce regional anesthesia and enable continuous delivery for up to 72 hours. The Arrow International StimuCath™ continuous nerve block set cleared for market by the FDA under 510(k) No. 030937 includes a conduction catheter for the identical intended use.

The contract sterilizer and sterilizing process are the same as those used for the Pajunk Plexolong sets. The packaging materials are also the same as those used to package the Pajunk Plexolong sets.

To assist the physician pinpoint the area of application an electrical stimulus can be applied to the conduction needle and after placement of the conduction catheter to its tip via the catheter adapter.

Technology Characteristics:

The Paiunk conduction needles, which include the physical dimensions. coating, connector, tubing, metal and plastics, have been cleared under 510(k) numbers K000722. K013041 and K023218. The material used to manufacture the Pajunk catheter and catheter adapter except for the conductive catheter tip and wire are identical to the materials used to manufacture the catheter and catheter adapter of the predicate devices described earlier in this 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness. Biocompatibility testing of the conductive tip, wire and alternate plastic material is located in Section 7 of this submission. Use of a conduction catheter was cleared by FDA under 510(k) No. K030937. The Stimulong Plus Catheter Sets are supplied in polypropylene containers that are sealed to assure sterility.

Dcar 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 Mcdical 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 cither 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.
