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 cathter to its tip via the catheter adapter.
Device Description
The Paiunk Stimulong Plus Catheter Sets and Plexalong sets are single use, sterile, non-pyrogenic 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 and Plexalong sets consist of a single use sterile, non-pyrogenic conduction needle with tubing, a catheter and catheter adapter. The catheter in the Stimulong Plus Catheter is the same as the catheter in the Plexalong sets except for a conductive ring tip. Continuous delivery is accomplished using the catheter. To assist the physician pinpoint the area of application an electrical stimulus can be applied to the tip of the conduction needle and after placement of the conduction catheter (Stimulong Plus catheter) to its tip via the catheter adapter.
More Information

No
The summary describes a medical device for delivering anesthesia using electrical stimulation and a catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as "intended for delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves and plexus," which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is intended for the delivery of anesthesia and uses electrical stimulation to assist the physician in pinpointing the area of application, rather than to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as needles, tubing, catheters, and catheter adapters, indicating it is a hardware-based medical 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 the "delivery of continuous conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves and plexus". This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device components (needles, catheters, adapters) are designed for delivering substances and applying electrical stimulation in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The device is clearly intended for a medical procedure performed directly on a patient, not for laboratory testing of samples.

Predicate Devices:

The Stimulong Plus Catheter sets and Plexalong sets consist of a Pajunk Unipolar needle (conduction cannula with nerve stimulus connector and tubing), and an open ended conduction catheter and a catheter adapter. The catheter in the Stimulong Plus Catheter is the same as the catheter in the Plexalong sets except for the conductive ring tip. The Stimulong Plus Catheter sets have been cleared for market by the FDA under 510(k) number K033018. The Plexalong sets have been cleared under K013041 and the Unipolar needles under 510(k) number K000722 (facet and Sprotte tip conduction cannula and tubing). Unipolar needles with a Tuohy tip were cleared for market under 510(k) number K023218.

The packaging materials used to package the Stimulong Plus Catheter, Pajunk Plexolong sets, and cannula has not changed. The contract sterilizer, other than a company name change (was Griffith Micro Science, now Sterigenics) and sterilizing process is the same.
