Intended Use
The Cefaly® device is indicated for the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine in patients 18 years of age or older.
Device Description
Cefaly® device is a supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulator device to be applied on the forehead. A self-adhesive electrode with 2 conductive zones is placed on the forehead. This double electrode is directly connected to the device. Cefaly® is operated by a rechargeable battery. A pressure on the single switch starts a program, which runs automatically for 20 minutes. The electrical impulses generated by the Cefaly® device are transmitted transcutaneously via the supraorbital electrode to excite (trigger action potentials) the supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis nerves. Supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis (or supratrochlear and supraorbital) nerves belong to the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1). Therefore the supraorbital neurostimulation is also known as external trigeminal nerve stimulation. The supraorbital neurostimulation generates a sedative effect and is intended to treat migraine headaches.

No
The summary describes a nerve stimulator with a fixed program and does not mention any adaptive or learning capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a stimulator for prophylactic treatment of migraine, not for diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulator device to be applied on the forehead" and includes components like a self-adhesive electrode, a rechargeable battery, and a switch, indicating it is a hardware device that delivers electrical impulses.

Based on the provided information, the Cefaly® device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Cefaly® Description: The description clearly states that the Cefaly® device is a supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulator applied to the forehead. It works by transmitting electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate nerves.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine, which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing biological samples.

The device's mechanism of action and intended use are entirely external and therapeutic, not involving the analysis of in vitro samples.

Device Trade or Proprietary Name: Cefaly® Device Common or usual name: Supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulator

Device Classification Name: Stimulator, Nerve. Electrical, Transcutaneous, For Migraine Classification Product Code: PCC

Substantial Equivalency is claimed against the following legally marketed device: Cefaly®. The De Novo Number is DEN120019 and the 510(k) Number is K122566.

Description of the device:

Cefaly® device is a supraorbital transcutaneous nerve stimulator device to be applied on the forehead. A self-adhesive electrode with 2 conductive zones is placed on the forehead. This double electrode is directly connected to the device.

Cefaly® is operated by a rechargeable battery. A pressure on the single switch starts a program, which runs automatically for 20 minutes.

The electrical impulses generated by the Cefaly® device are transmitted transcutaneously via the supraorbital electrode to excite (trigger action potentials) the supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis nerves. Supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis (or supratrochlear and supraorbital) nerves belong to the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1). Therefore the supraorbital neurostimulation is also known as external trigeminal nerve stimulation. The supraorbital neurostimulation generates a sedative effect and is intended to treat migraine headaches.

Intended use of the device:

The Cefaly® device is indicated for the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine in patients 18 years of age or older.

Comparison between the original and the modified, improved version of the Cefaly®:

The intended use and the scientific technology of the modified Cefaly® device are identical to those of the original version of the Cefaly® device. The modified version of the Cefaly® has exactly the same output stimulation parameters than the legally marketed Cefaly®. The device modifications concern the power supply, the dimensional specifications, and the fixing system between the device and the electrode. The risk analysis did not show any unacceptable risk resulting from these device modifications (see Section 15). The modified version of the Cefaly® is therefore as safe and as effective than the legally marketed Cefaly®.
