Intended Use
The disposable hypodermic EMG needle electrode is used for muscle stimulation, motor unit action potential recording and drug delivery. The motor nerves are monitored by detecting EMG activity in the muscles they innervate. The drug used should be Botox Botilium Toxin type A. Note: Technomed Europe does not supply any drugs with the Disposable hypodermic EMG needle electrodes nor does Technomed Europe offer for sale any form of drugs.
Device Description
The disposable hypodermic EMG needle electrode is designed for single use only. It consists of a stainless steel cannula electrically insulated with a PTFE coating, except for the lancet point and the inner surface of the tube. The coating is to ensure easy skin penetration and to ensure electrical insulation on the entire cannula, except for the point. A husk fitting together with a wire with connection to an extension cable has been attached to the cannula. This cable will enable the electrical signal to be transferred to a stimulating or recording device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical electrode device for EMG and drug delivery, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is used for diagnostic purposes (EMG recording, muscle stimulation for monitoring motor nerves) and drug delivery, not primarily for therapeutic treatment itself.

Yes
The intended use states it is used for "motor unit action potential recording" and "motor nerves are monitored by detecting EMG activity", which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, disposable needle electrode made of stainless steel with a PTFE coating, a husk fitting, and a wire. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The described device is a hypodermic needle electrode used for muscle stimulation, recording electrical activity in muscles (EMG), and delivering drugs directly into the muscle. These are procedures performed in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in a test tube or laboratory setting).
  • Intended Use: The intended uses clearly involve interacting directly with the patient's muscles for diagnostic (EMG recording) and therapeutic (stimulation, drug delivery) purposes.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for in vivo procedures, not an IVD.
