Not Found

No
The document describes a standard nerve stimulator with different modes and power options. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies. The user is explicitly stated to provide the interpretation of the nerve response.

No.
The device provides electrical stimulation to nerves during diagnostic and surgical procedures, which is not a therapeutic use. It is used for monitoring and identification of nerves rather than treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device provides electrical stimulation to nerves "during diagnostic and surgical procedures," indicating its involvement in diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "self contained, battery powered device," indicating it includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Hilger Dual-Stim Nerve Stimulator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide electrical stimulation to nerves during diagnostic and surgical procedures. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the electrical stimulation function and modes, not on analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, urine, or any other biological specimen. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.
  • Anatomical Site: The device acts directly on nerves within the body.

Therefore, the Hilger Dual-Stim Nerve Stimulator is a medical device used for nerve stimulation in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Syring:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies 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 forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
