The Solo-Dex Fascile® Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Catheter and Needle Kit is intended for use in regional anesthesia and pain therapy to locate peripheral nerves by transferring electrical impulses from a nerve stimulator, or to be seen by ultrasound visualization of the device. The need to inject and facilitate the continuous and/or internittent administration of local anesthetics or analgesics to the targeted nerve bundle in surgical procedures.
In packaged set configurations, the Solo-Dex Fascile® Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Catheter and Needle Kit, consisting of the peripheral nerve block needle, catheted peripheral nerve block procedural accessories, is intended to provide continuous and/or intermittent infusion of local anesthetics and analgesics for peripheral plexus anesthesia and pain management during pre-operative and post-operative periods associated with surgical procedures. The catheter may remain indwelling for up to 72 hours.
Solo-Dex Fascile® Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Catheter and Needle Kit is a needle comprised of an open tip catheter over a needle. The Fascile kit is comprised of different key components required to complete the Peripheral Nerve Block procedure.
This document describes the Solo-Dex Fascile® Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Catheter and Needle Kit and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Complex® C Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Needle, K121846).
The information provided focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through technological characteristics and performance (bench) testing, rather than a clinical study involving human readers or a standalone algorithm performance. Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/algorithm performance are not applicable.
