No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and electrical configurations of the probes used for nerve stimulation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies described are bench tests for mechanical and electrical performance, not related to algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is used for diagnostic purposes (locating, identifying, and monitoring nerves) during surgery, not for treating a disease or condition.
Yes
The device is used to "locate, identify and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots during surgery," and "to assess nerve function" by delivering electrical stimulation. This process of identifying and assessing nerve function falls under diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like probes, handles, shafts, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes are used during surgery to directly stimulate neural tissue within the body. They are used to locate, identify, and monitor nerves in real-time during the procedure.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the patient. It delivers electrical stimulation and potentially records nerve action potentials directly from the nerve itself.
Therefore, based on the intended use and device description, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument used for intraoperative monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
Stimulator probes are used as the medium to deliver electrical stimulation to tissue during intraoperative neurological monitoring. The probes are available in three electrical configurations such as monopolar, bipolar and concentric forms according to the required application. The probes are supplied sterile and are for single use only.
The probes are connected to an electrical stimulator using a flexible lead wire(s) and a "touch-proof' safety connector(s) on the distal end.
Stimulator probes are used by the surgeon to locate and identify motor nerves and spinal nerve roots and to assess nerve function. Bipolar probes may also be used to record nerve action potentials directly from the nerve.
The probes are designed with a plastic handle and stainless steel active electrode shaft insulated to the tip. The probe shaft may be bent to allow viewing access under a microscope.
Concentric Probes is designed with an outer anode pole and center cathode pole separated by insulation. Tip diameter approx 1mm.
Monopolar electrodes require a separate stimulator return electrode and the Monopolar probe is insulated to the tip with only a stimulating "ball" or "tip" exposed.
Bipolar probe has a fully insulated probe shaft with two 1 mm exposed flush tips. The anode and cathode tips can spread up to 3 mm apart and will penetrate tissue for stimulation current to flow.
