The description details a standard peripheral nerve stimulator with adjustable electrical parameters and a user interface for configuration. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, decision-making, or adaptive stimulation.
No
The device is used to test the level of pharmacological effects of anesthetic drugs and gases or as a nerve locator for verifying needle placement, not for treating a condition.
Yes
The device is used to "test the level of pharmacological effects of anesthetic drugs and gases to the patient" and as a "nerve locator for the verification of needle placement," both of which involve assessing a physiological state or condition of the patient, which is characteristic of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a battery, display, control buttons, adjustment knob, and a physical connection system for electrodes. It also describes the generation of electrical pulses, which is a hardware function.
Based on the provided information, the Stimuplex HNS-12 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "test the level of pharmacological effects of anesthetic drugs and gases to the patient and/or as a nerve locator for the verification of needle placement for the application of local anesthetics." This involves interacting directly with the patient's body (in vivo) to stimulate nerves and observe the physiological response.
- Device Description: The device description details a nerve stimulator that delivers electrical pulses to the patient through a cannula. This is a direct interaction with the patient's tissues.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body (in vitro).
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The Stimuplex HNS-12's function is to stimulate nerves within the patient's body, which is an in vivo application.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Stimuplex HNS-12 is a peripheral nerve stimulator used to test the level of pharmacological effects of anesthetic drugs and gases to the patient and/or as a nerve locator for the verification of needle placement for the application of local anesthetics. This device can be used wherever peripheral anesthesia is normally applied (i.e. physicians office or hospital).

Device Description
The nerve stimulator Stimuplex® HNS 12 is a battery powered peripheral nerve stimulator for localization of nerve fibers in the tissue. During the operation the operating physician holds a stimulation cannula in his right hand. Simultaneous the operation of the device happens with his left hand. The physician can hold the device with the left hand and simultaneous alter the stimulation amplitude at the amplitude controller.
The technical data of the device are:
Battery: 9 Volt alkaline
Display: 1 graphic LCD Module, 1 tricolor (green, yellow, red) LED for status display
Operation: 1 control button to switch on/off the device, Adjustment knob to adjust the wanted stimulation current, 3 control buttons to switch the stimulation parameters, 4 control buttons for navigation and settings in the menus, Remote control (optional stimulation current adjustment)
Power consumption: 6 mA (8 mA max in warning/alarm state)
Stimulation current : max. 5mApp / 0Ω - 12 kΩ
Stimulation voltage : max. 95 Vpp
Stimulation frequency : 1 Hz / 2 Hz
Flowing current measuring tolerance: +/- 0.02 mA
Weight: 0.25 kg (with battery)
The configuration of the electrode connection is realized with a 4 pin plug connection system, which ensures correct polarity of the electrode at all times. The Stimuplex® HNS 12 generates negative, current-stabilized square pulses with selectable frequency, selectable pulse width and fine adjustable stimulation current. The pulse is shaped at both slopes by extremely fast active pulse drivers. An output amplifier specially designed for this application has an extraordinarily wide dynamic range and produces reproducible settings even below 0.1 mA. The stimulation frequency and the pulse width can be varied for different applications. The Stimuplex® HNS 12 nerve stimulator offers the facility for selecting a frequency of either 1 Hz or 2 Hz together with pulse widths of 0.1 ms, 0.3 ms or 1.0 ms. Two additional pulse widths: 0.05 ms and 0.50 ms can be enabled in options menu. Stimuplex® HNS 12 has a menu structure (in 26 languages) where the switch on parameters and options and setup parameters like tone volume, contrast, automatically switch off time, language can be configured. The battery voltage is in info menu in volt and percentage and during stimulation menu as symbol displayed.

Dear Ms. Schuler:
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.
