The STIMPOD ST2-3010 is a nerve stimulation device designed to be used for the purpose of nerve locating using invasive electrodes or needles (not supplied)

Device Description

The STIMPOD ST2-3010 device is a battery powered peripheral nerve stimulator that can be used for the purpose of nerve locating using invasive electrodes or needles (not supplied). The STIMPOD ST2-3010 is a precision nerve locating tool used for localizing specific neural pathways. Localization of nerves by electrical stimulation involves connecting the nerve stimulator to a conducting needle. The stimulus is generated by a constant current source. The waveform is a monophasic square wave with 3 options for pulse width. These are: 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 milliseconds. The unit dimensions are 145mm x 90mm x 30mm with a weight of 130 g

AI/ML Overview

I'm sorry, but the provided text does not contain the information needed to answer your request about acceptance criteria and study details for a medical device. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a nerve stimulator, focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It details the device's technical characteristics, intended use, and comparison to a predicate, but it does not describe specific acceptance criteria and the results of a study (like a clinical trial or performance study) to prove the device meets those criteria.

In particular, the document lacks information on:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Sample size used for a test set or data provenance.
  • Number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
  • Adjudication method for a test set.
  • Whether a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or its effect size.
  • Whether a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document discusses "safety testing" and references IEC standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-10), indicating that the device passed these electrical and electromagnetic compatibility tests. However, these are general device safety standards, not specific performance criteria for a diagnostic or AI-based device's clinical accuracy that would require the kind of study details you've requested.

Therefore, I cannot fill in the table or provide the requested study details based on the provided text.

PREDICATE DEVICES

Xavant Technology, STIMPOD NMS450 (K102084)

There are no significant differences between the STIMPOD ST2-3010 Nerve Stimulator and the predicate devices which would adversely affect the use of the product. It is substantially equivalent to the device in design, function, materials, operational principles and intended use.

The STIMPOD NMS450 is a battery powered peripheral nerve stimulator that can be used for

  • general anesthesia, for the purpose of establishing the efficacy of a � Neuromuscular Blocking Agent using non-invasive surface electrodes (not supplied)
  • nerve mapping using the non-invasive Nerve Mapping Probe (supplied) �
  • nerve locating using invasive electrodes/needles (not supplied) �

The stimulus is generated by a constant current source. The waveform is a square wave with various pulse width options.

The units will continuously check for a closed circuit. Once a closed circuit is detected, the unit will deliver a stimulus until an open circuit is detected.

Once operational the unit will flash an LED when the circuit with the patient is a closed circuit and the stimulation was successfully delivered. In the case that the circuit with the patient is an open circuit, a stimulus will not be delivered.

The anode comprises of an ECG electrode (not supplied). The cathode comprises a permanently attached nerve mapping probe (supplied), and/or a separate nerve locating needle (not supplied), and/or an ECG electrode (not supplied), depending on the mode of the unit

A detailed comparison has provided the following conclusions:

The bolded letters reference the relevant section on the table above. This is indicated in the column "affects indications for use / Technology"

Clinical Use

{10}------------------------------------------------

The target populations on which product usage would occur are the same as those of the cited predicate device.

The Stimpod ST2-3010 employs a subset of the indications for use of the Stimpod NMS450, the same contraindications for use, and the same warnings and precautions within labelling

Each of the above devices:

  • used for the same clinical condition or purpose; (a) ●
  • . have similar relevant critical performance according to expected clinical effect for specific intended use. (b)

Technical Characteristics

The STIMPOD ST2-3010 is equivalent to the identified predicate in design and utilized materials of construction of the currently marketed aforementioned predicate devices.

Also, the principles of operation of the subject device are directly equivalent to those of the cited predicate

Each of the above devices:

  • are used under similar conditions of use; (c) ●
  • have similar specifications and properties; (d)
  • are of similar design; (e) ●
  • use similar deployment methods; (f) ●
  • have similar principles of operation; (g) and ●
  • have similar electrical performance. (h) .

As indicated in the table above, the ST2-3010 and the NMS450 are exact matches on technical characteristics, with the following exceptions:

    1. Current Range 0-10 compared to Current Range 0-5 (Nerve Locating)
    • a. The ST2-3010 can adjust the current up to 10mA. The NMS450 however can only adjust the current to 5mA. However, the NMS450 can adjust pulse width up to 1ms, whereas the ST2-3010 can only adjust pulse width up to 0.3ms. That concludes that the maximum charge output of the ST2-3010 is 3uC, which is only 60% of the maximum charge output (5uC) of the NMS450. Thus patient safety is not affected by this change.
    1. Pulse width options 0.1, 0.2, 0.3ms compared to 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0ms
    • a. The pulse width options of the ST2-3010 are a subset of the pulse width options of the NMS450, and therefor do not affect patient safety.
    1. No High Voltage stimulation vs. High Voltage Stimulation
    • a. As the ST2-3010 is only a nerve location device, it only employs the low voltage section of the electrical circuit, exactly the same as the Nerve Locating mode on the NMS450

{11}------------------------------------------------

Biological Characteristics

Each of the above devices has:

  • no known biocompatibility issues; (i) and
  • no known effect on the environment, or to other devices. .
