Device Description
The NURO Neuromodulation System is designed to deliver retrograde access to the sacral nerve through percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. This method of treatment is referred to as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS).
The NURO Neuromodulation System is a combination of the Stimulator with permanently attached single insulated lead wire, and number of single-use accessories which are sold separately, including: the acupuncture needle (provided in a single-use sterile package), needle holder, and electrode pad. The Stimulator is a small and portable pulse generator, and should only be used in conjunction with the lead wire and the single-use items listed above. The system also includes a micro USB-to-USB cable, and a USB wall charger.
The Stimulator device provides treatment functions by purchasing therapy credits from a commercial website. Therapy credits are downloaded to the device through the micro-USB connection to a computer with a USB port and internet access. The Stimulator stores a record of the therapy credits purchased and available. Each therapy cycle uses a single credit. A therapy credit is required to be available on the Stimulator device in order to begin a patient treatment session. These therapy credits may be purchased with 99 as the maximum purchase. The Stimulator does not store or transfer via the USB cable any patient data. The credit transfer function is strictly a financial transaction. No patient data is stored or transferred by the Stimulator. There is no impact on safety or efficacy with purchase of therapy credits.

the safety and efficacy of the NURO Neuromodulation System as compared to the predicate Urgent PC.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:
The NURO Neuromodulation System is designed to deliver retrograde access to the sacral nerve through percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. This method of treatment is referred to as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS).
The NURO Neuromodulation System is a combination of the Stimulator with permanently attached single insulated lead wire, and number of single-use accessories which are sold separately, including: the acupuncture needle (provided in a single-use sterile package), needle holder, and electrode pad. The Stimulator is a small and portable pulse generator, and should only be used in conjunction with the lead wire and the single-use items listed above.

No patient data is stored or transferred by the Stimulator. There is no impact on safety or efficacy with purchase of therapy credits.
INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The NURO Neuromodulation System (Stimulator model NURO 100) is intended to treat patients with Overactive Bladder (OAB) and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence.
TECNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The NURO Neuromodulation System has substantially equivalent technological characteristics when compared to the predicate device. It has substantially equivalent indications for use, device construction, and principles of operation. Testing has demonstrated that the NURO Neuromodulation System performs effectively as intended and is safe as provided by the electrical testing. The descriptive and technological characteristics are functionally equivalent to the proposed predicate neuromodulation system. Any minor differences do not affect safety or effectiveness of the NURO Neuromodulation System.
The NURO Neuromodulation System and the predicate Urgent PC (K101847) devices are Class II devices regulated under CFR 876.5310, product code NAM.
The intended use of both devices is to treat patients with Overactive Bladder (OAB) and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence and both utilize percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) as the clinical mechanism to achieve patient continence. Both devices utilize the same clinical treatment protocol of 30 minutes using the same electrical waveform output. The two devices have consistent output
2
K132561 pa 3 of 4
patterns, which is of ultimate importance in establishing the substantial equivalence relationship. The adjustable current ranges from a minimum setting of 0 mA to a maximum setting of 19mA for both Stimulators. The square waveforms delivered by both devices have fixed pulse widths of 200 microseconds and frequencies of 20Hz.
Both devices consist of a battery-powered electrical pulse generator (Stimulator) intended for multiple uses and supplied non-sterile. The NURO Stimulator runs on a lithium battery and the Urgent PC is powered by a 9V battery. Both devices are supplied with accessories, a surface electrode pad, and a sterile acupuncture needle holder (called Needle Electrode clip by Urgent PC), and an alcohol pad, obtained from original equipment manufacturers.
Both devices are controlled by software on the NURO device was verified and validated to ensure compliance with the desired treatment protocol used by the predicate device for therapy to treat urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence. The treatment is dictated by the following characteristics: square output waveform, pulse width, pulse period, current output (minimum and maximum). With respect to these four characteristics, the NURO Neuromodulation System and the Urgent PC are substantially equivalent.
Differences in the two devices are mainly in the lead wire. The NURO device lead wire is permanently attached to the NRUO Stimulator and functions when therapy credits are uploaded to the device via connection to a commercial website. When the therapy credits are depleted, the device no longer provides treatment. Wherein the Urgent PC lead wire is for single use only and provides one treatment session with each lead wire containing a selfkill fuse which burns out after each use. Urgent PC lead wire is not permanently attached but mates with the Stimulator to provide a connection between the Stimulator and the needle electrode. The NURO lead wire is permanently attached to the NURO Stimulator. Neither lead wire has biocontact with the patient. Both designs work effectively; therefore, there is no impact on safety or effectiveness from this design difference. I
Both the NURO Stimulator and the Urgent PC connect the current lead wire to the acupuncture needle (Needle Electrode) in the ankle utilizing a plastic needle holder (Needle Electrode clip). The main purpose of the needle holder is to complete the current path from the Stimulator to the inserted acupuncture needle (Needle Electrode).
The differences discussed here do not alter the fundamental scientific technology established from the predicate device; nor do they introduce any safety or effectiveness concerns about the NURO Neuromodulation System.
