AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP Authorized
Intended Use
The Pioneer Nerve Monitoring Cable, in conjunction with Pioneer pedicle probes, taps, awls or screw drivers, is intended to stimulate peripheral motor nerves during surgery for the purpose of locating and identifying these nerves, including spinal nerve roots during the incision and removal of soft and hard tissue or bone.
Device Description
This device is intended for use as an intra-operative motor nerve stimulator with common EMG monitors. Construction of the device allows nerve stimulation with general manual orthopedic surgical instruments, e.g. taps, awls, probes, etc. The terminal end of the cable is a 1.5 mm female DIN connector for use with a stimulating console with a Type BF or CF rating.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a nerve monitoring cable and associated surgical instruments for electrical stimulation and monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is described as an intra-operative motor nerve stimulator used for locating and identifying nerves, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is intended to "locate and identify" nerves, which is a form of diagnosis during surgery.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Pioneer Nerve Monitoring Cable" and describes its physical construction and connectors, indicating it is a hardware component.

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 such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used during surgery to stimulate peripheral motor nerves and spinal nerve roots for the purpose of locating and identifying them. This is an in vivo (within the living body) procedure.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological samples taken from the patient. The device directly interacts with the patient's nerves.

Therefore, the Pioneer Nerve Monitoring Cable is an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Gilbert:

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.
