Intended Use

SunStim Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator are a battery-powered device intended for monitoring the magnitude of neuromuscular block in general anesthesia, by delivering an electrical stimulus near a peripheral motor nerve.

Device Description

SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator are battery powered peripheral nerve stimulators which provide low electrical direct current (DC) stimulation in order to determine the level of anesthetic nerve block. The Stimulus Amplitude control dial provides variable current control (0 to 70 mA into a 2K ohm load).

The Output Stimulus Pulse Indicator flashes each time current passes through the patient. Functions include: Double Burst (DBS), Train-of-Four, Twitch, and 100Hz Tetanus. The device offers sufficient output to ensure supramaximal stimulation: from 0 to 70 mA. SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator models have the same functions with the following exceptions: the SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator functions do not include Double Burst and the 50 Hz Tetanus option.

AI/ML Overview

The document provided is a 510(k) summary for the SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator. It describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (EasyMed Instruments Co., LTD. Peripheral Nerve Stimulator, K121743).

However, the document does not contain specific acceptance criteria, reported device performance metrics, or details about a study designed to prove the device meets such criteria in the way that would typically apply to AI/ML or diagnostic devices.

The "Performance Data" section lists recognized consensus standards that the device underwent tests against, which are primarily related to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, risk management, and software lifecycle processes. These are general standards for medical electrical equipment and software, not performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity that would be expected for an AI system or device requiring clinical performance validation.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria and a study proving performance cannot be extracted from this document because they are not present. This document is focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and adherence to general safety and quality standards, not a specific clinical performance study with defined criteria and results.

Here's an attempt to answer based on the available information, with many points marked as "Not provided in the document."


Description of Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Criteria

The provided document describes the SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator, highlighting its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K121743) based on its intended use, operating principle, basic design principle, operating modes, and stimulation parameters. The "performance data" section focuses on adherence to general safety, electromagnetic compatibility, risk management, and software lifecycle process standards, rather than specific clinical performance metrics.

INTENDED USE:

SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator are a battery-powered device intended for monitoring the magnitude of neuromuscular block in general anesthesia, by delivering an electrical stimulus near a peripheral motor nerve.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator are battery powered peripheral nerve stimulators which provide low electrical direct current (DC) stimulation in order to determine the level of anesthetic nerve block. The Stimulus Amplitude control dial provides variable current control (0 to 70 mA into a 2K ohm load).

The Output Stimulus Pulse Indicator flashes each time current passes through the patient. Functions include: Double Burst (DBS), Train-of-Four, Twitch, and 100Hz Tetanus. The device offers sufficient output to ensure supramaximal stimulation: from 0 to 70 mA. SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator models have the same functions with the following exceptions: the SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator functions do not include Double Burst and the 50 Hz Tetanus option.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The technical characteristics of the modified Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (i.e. SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) are the same as those of the original legally marketed Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (K121743) in energy source, intended use and functions. Like the predicate device, SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator are devices used to apply an electric current to a patient to test the level of pharmacological effect of anesthetic drugs and gases.

The devices, both the predicated ones and modified ones, can be divided into two parts:

    1. The timing control
      This part can be considered to be simplified as a switch controlling the device high voltage output on or off.

In our original design this part uses a simple logical circuit; in our modified design this part uses a simple 8 bits MCU (Micro Control Unit) so that the circuitry can be simplified.

2. The voltage generator

This part generates voltage to the setting level, and output the stimulating signal at the time when the output of timing control part is set to on.

This part is not changed in this modification.

The design principle and operational principle of the modified Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (i.e.

{6}------------------------------------------------

SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) are the same as those of original legally marketed Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (K121743). The difference is an MCU is used inside the modified Peripheral Nerve Stimulators to take the place of timing control part of the predicate device.

This modification does not affect the device's intended use or alter the device's fundamental scientific technology.

PERFORMANCE DATA (e.g. non-clinical tests)

The SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator underwent the tests and recognized consensus standards noted in the below table.

FDA recognition No.Standard Title
19-5AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 And A1:2012, C1:2009/(R)2012And A2:2010/(R)2012 (Consolidated Text) Medical ElectricalEquipment - Part 1: General Requirements For Basic Safety AndEssential Performance (IEC 60601-1:2005, Mod). (General I (QS/RM))

Test results show that the modification for the new device do not affect the safety and effectiveness.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION

The modified Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (i.e. SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim" Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) are of the following similarities to the original legally marketed Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (K121743)

  • . The same intended use;
  • . Use the same operating principle;

{7}------------------------------------------------

  • Incorporate the same basic design principle; .
  • The same operating modes; ●
  • . The same stimulation parameters

The modified Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (i.e. SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics to the original legally marketed Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (K121743). Thus, the modified Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (i.e. SunStim™ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and SunStim™ Plus Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

The modifications do not affect the device's intended use or alter the device's fundamental scientific technology. The modified devices are as safe, as effective and are substantially equivalent to the predicated device.
