Intended Use
Nihon Kohden Sen-4100 Electric Stimulator is used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal tract axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency.
Device Description
The SEN-4100A is the stimulator to output electrostimulation pulses. It conducts the constant voltage stimulation that is necessary for MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) measurement, from an electrophysiological viewpoint, diagnosing and analyzing the neuromuscular action potential for a patient provided with anesthesia care in an operating room.

No
The summary describes a device that performs electrostimulation and analyzes neuromuscular action potentials. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text. The performance studies focus on hardware and software validation against design specifications and standard testing procedures, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

No
The device is described as an electric stimulator for intraoperative diagnosis and measurement, not for treating a condition or disease.

Yes
The device is described as being used for the "intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction" and for "diagnosing and analyzing the neuromuscular action potential." These phrases directly indicate its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states "The SEN-4100A is the stimulator to output electrostimulation pulses," indicating a hardware component responsible for delivering electrical stimulation. The performance studies also mention validation of both software and hardware.

Based on the provided information, the Nihon Kohden Sen-4100 Electric Stimulator 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.
  • Device Function: The Sen-4100 is an electric stimulator used intraoperatively to directly stimulate the corticospinal tract and measure the resulting motor evoked potentials. This is a direct physiological measurement on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal tract axonal conduction." This is a diagnostic procedure performed on the patient during surgery.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement and diagnosis in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

SECTION 2 - 510(K) SUMMARY

  • Name of the Device: Evoked Response Electrical Stimulator .
  • . Trade or proprietary name: SEN-4100 Electric Stimulator
  • The common or usual Name: Evoked Response Electrical Stimulator .
  • The Classification: The device has been classified as 21 CFR Part 882.1870 "Evoked . Response Electrical Stimulator" per GWF.
  • The legally marketed equivalence: The predicate-marketed device is the Digitimer . D185 Multipulse Cortical Stimulator, K020400, commercial distribution certification dated August 23, 2002.
  • A description of the device: The SEN-4100A is the stimulator to output . electrostimulation pulses. It conducts the constant voltage stimulation that is necessary for MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) measurement, from an electrophysiological viewpoint, diagnosing and analyzing the neuromuscular action potential for a patient provided with anesthesia care in an operating room.
  • A summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to the . predicate device: The new device is equivalent to the Digitimer D185 Multipulse Cortical Stimulator in that the stimulator will output electrostimulation pulses. It conducts the constant voltage stimulation that is necessary for MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) measurements from an electrophysiological viewpoint while diagnosing and analyzing the neuromuscular action potential for a patient provided anesthesia care in an operating room.

Nihon Kohden Sen-4100 Electric Stimulator is used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal tract axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency.

The device performs as an electrostimulation part under IEC 60601-1-2-40 for ME system when it is used with the clinical device for neurological function (or EMG/Stimulator for evoked reaction). The device is in compliance with the following voluntary industrial standards: IEC 60601-1: 1988; IEC 60601-1 Amendment 1:1991; IEC 60601-1 Amendment 2: 1995; IEC 60601-1-1 2nd edition: 2000; IEC 60601-1-2 2nd edition: 2001; EN 60601-1:1990; EN 60601-1 Amendment 1: 1993; EN 60601-1 Amendment 2:1995; EN 60601-1-1:2001; EN 60601-1-2:2001; CAN/CSA-C22.0 No. 601.1-M90; CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1S1-94; CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1B-90 (R2002); CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1-1-02; CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1-1-02.

The device is not sterile. Design validation confirmed the operation of the software and hardware of the device is in accordance to the design specifications.

The device was subjected to electromagnetic, environmental, safety and performance testing procedures. These test verified the proper operation of the device.

Therefore base on the above, Nihon Kohden believes that the SEN-4100 Electric Stimulator measuring system is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Digitimer D185 Multipulse Cortical Stimulator.
