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 procedure data. Rapid Programmer 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 automated data logging and guiding the clinician through parameter combinations, which are standard programming functions, not indicative of AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition.

No.
The Rapid Programmer is described as a device to "assist clinicians in determining the optimum performance" and "program the stimulator." It is a tool for clinicians to optimize the performance of a neurostimulation system, but it is not the therapeutic device itself. The neurostimulation system is the therapeutic device, as it is indicated for "Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) in the treatment of chronic pain."

No
The device is described as a "Rapid Programmer" used to assist clinicians in determining optimum performance of a neurostimulation system by programming stimulator parameters and logging stimulation effects. It is not described as a diagnostic device that identifies or characterizes a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses a "touch screen computer to program the stimulator," indicating a hardware component (the computer) is part of the system, not just software.

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

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 about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the ANS Neurostimulation system and the Rapid Programmer are used for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) to treat chronic pain. The Rapid Programmer assists clinicians in programming the stimulator and logging data related to the stimulation effects on the patient.
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is directly related to delivering electrical stimulation to the body and managing the parameters of that stimulation.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or neuromodulation device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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. Ilsting 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 docs not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complics 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
