Intended Use
Disposable Pre-gelled Ag/AgCl Surface Electrodes are intended for recording/stimulation and monitoring of the Electromygraphy (EMG), Electroencephalograph(EEG) and Evoked Potential(EP) signals.
Device Description
Friendship's Pre-gelled Ag/AgCl Surface Electrodes are disposable (for "single Use Only"). Used to detect electrophysiological signals or provide electrical stimulation subcutaneously. The electrodes are the interface medium between the diagnostic or monitoring equipment and the patient. The surface electrodes is comprised of top woven layer, carbon layer, Ag/AgCl layer and hydrogel layer on one end electrically connected to lead wire and a touch-proof connector on the other end.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive electrode device for signal acquisition and stimulation. There is no mention of any computational processing, analysis, or interpretation of signals using AI/ML techniques. The focus is on the physical and electrical properties of the electrode itself.

No
Explanation: The device is described as being for "recording/stimulation and monitoring" of signals like EMG, EEG, and EP, and for detecting electrophysiological signals or providing electrical stimulation. These are diagnostic and monitoring functions, not therapeutic.

Yes

The device description explicitly states, "The electrodes are the interface medium between the diagnostic or monitoring equipment and the patient." Additionally, the intended use includes recording EMG, EEG, and EP signals, which are used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (woven layer, carbon layer, Ag/AgCl layer, hydrogel layer, lead wire, connector) and its function as an interface medium between equipment and the patient, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for recording/stimulation and monitoring of electrophysiological signals (EMG, EEG, EP). This involves measuring electrical activity from the body, not analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in a lab setting.
  • Device Description: The description details a surface electrode that interfaces with the patient's skin to detect electrical signals or provide electrical stimulation. This is a direct interaction with the body, not an in vitro analysis of a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring and stimulation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Clinical studies were not deemed necessary regarding the surface electrodes due to their similarity in materials, design and function to those "predicate device". The device was evaluated by health care professionals during a simulated use test and was found to be acceptable for its intended use.

The contact material Katecho hydrogel is of known biocompatibility. Those materials were already tested for material safety and biocompatibility by the Katecho Inc.:

  • Cytotoxicity study ISO 10993-5 .
  • Skin irritation study ISO 10993-10 .
  • Skin sensitization study ISO 10993-10 .

The electrical performance of the Surface Electrode has been tested and meet the voluntary standard requirements under ANSI/AAMI EC12/2000 in compliance with IEC60601-1.
