Intended Use
Stockert NEURO N50 is a RF generator for general high frequency applications: 1. Lesioning nerve tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures; or 2. Radiofrequency heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain; or 3. Stimulation procedures like provoking stimulation, localized stimulation, blocking stimulation or intraoperative test stimulation
Device Description
The system consists of a radio frequency generator and accessories intended for neurological applications. Its purpose is to generate RF energy for delivery to a site in neurological tissue via a neurological instrument for a specified time period. The thermal energy emitted at the site of application produces a lesio that interrupts an electrical active area of neurological tissues. The STOCKERT NEURO N50 can be used either in bipolar or unipolar mode and includes functions for controlling temperature at the tip of the instrument and for monitoring impedance. It also has a unit for stimulation for provoking, localized, blocking and intraoperative test stimulation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard RF generator for neurological procedures with temperature and impedance monitoring, and stimulation capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making processes.

Yes
The device is described as a radiofrequency generator intended for procedures like "lesioning nerve tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures" and "radiofrequency heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain," which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is a radiofrequency generator used for lesioning or stimulating nerve tissue, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones. While it mentions monitoring impedance and functions for various types of stimulation (provoking, localized, blocking, intraoperative test stimulation), these functions support the therapeutic application rather than being standalone diagnostic functions to identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a "radio frequency generator and accessories," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Stockert NEURO N50 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 examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Stockert NEURO N50 Function: The description clearly states that the Stockert NEURO N50 is a radio frequency generator used to deliver energy directly to neurological tissue within the body for lesioning or stimulation. This is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro test.

The device's purpose is to physically alter tissue within the patient, not to analyze samples taken from the patient.

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.
