Intended Use
When the Low output is selected the MS-120BK is used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders. When High output is selected the MS-120BK is used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency. The system is intended for use by qualified medical personnel within a hospital or clinical environment. The stimulator is available for use on any patients as determined by the qualified medical personnel.
Device Description
The Nihon Kohden MS-120BK is a dual (high & low) output constant current stimulator. The high and low setting, stimulation current and frequency of stimulation is selected by the user. The Nihon Kohden MS-120BK is connected to the MEE 1000A through the JB-116BK or JB-132BK amplifier. In the Low output setting the Nihon Kohden MS-120BK applies cortical stimulation energy through the Nihon Kohden stimulation pod (JS-102B) which is connected to commercially available cortical electrodes (strip and grid electrodes). In the High output setting, the MS-120BK outputs electrostimulation pulse through the Nihon Kohden extension cord (BM-121B) which is connected to commercially available stimulation electrode(s).
More Information

No
The description focuses on the device's function as a constant current stimulator with user-selectable settings and connections to other equipment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No.
The intended use states the device is "used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping" and "for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction." Both uses are diagnostic or for mapping, not for delivering therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "When High output is selected the MS-120BK is used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency." This explicitly indicates a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dual (high & low) output constant current stimulator" and details its connection to other hardware components (MEE 1000A, JB-116BK, JB-132BK, JS-102B, BM-121B) and use with electrodes. The summary of performance studies also mentions both "Software and hardware verification and validation." This indicates it is a hardware device with associated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description of the MS-120BK clearly states it is a nerve stimulator that applies electrical stimulation directly to the brain (cortical) during surgical procedures. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use involves direct interaction with the patient's nervous system. The device is used for nerve stimulation for surgical procedures, brain mapping, and diagnosing acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction. These are all in-vivo applications, not in-vitro (outside the body) diagnostics.

Therefore, the Nihon Kohden MS-120BK is a therapeutic and diagnostic device used in vivo, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

When the Low output is selected the MS-120BK is used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders.

When High output is selected the MS-120BK is used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency.

The system is intended for use by qualified medical personnel within a hospital or clinical environment. The stimulator is available for use on any patients as determined by the qualified medical personnel.

Dear Mr. Geerdes:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

6

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm11.5809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
