Intended Use
The Paired Hydrogel Electrode is used for evoked electrophysiological monitoring in soft tissue surgeries were motor nerves are at risk.
Device Description
The Paired Hydrogel Electrodes are a modification of the M203KEN electrode currently distributed as the Singlet and Triplet Hydrogel Electrodes by Neurovision Medical Products. The Paired Hydrogel Electrode is created by attaching two Singlet M203KEN electrodes by their lead wires to the same DIN plug (shorting the electrodes). The Paired version is designed to provide a single pole of electrophysiological monitoring across a surface too wide to be covered by a single electrode.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a simple electrode modification and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is used for electrophysiological monitoring, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device is used for "evoked electrophysiological monitoring," which involves measuring electrical activity to assess the function of nerves. This process is a form of diagnostic measurement, indicating the health or function of the motor nerves during surgery.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical electrode, which is a hardware component. The performance studies also focus on physical properties like adhesion, impedance, and biocompatibility.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "evoked electrophysiological monitoring in soft tissue surgeries." This involves measuring electrical signals from the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is an electrode designed to be placed on the surface of the body to pick up electrical signals. It does not involve any reagents, test strips, or other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic tests performed outside of the body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to facilitate the measurement of electrical activity within the body during surgery.
