The ToFscan is a neuromuscular transmission monitor for monitoring the neuromuscular block of a patient in the operating theatre, recovery room or intensive care unit.
Device Description
The ToFscan is a neuromuscular transmission (NMT) monitoring the neuromuscular block of a patient in the operating theatre, recovery room or intensive care unit. It is used by health professionals (anaesthesiologists, doctors, or fully qualified nurse anaesthetists) for: - 1. Objective neuromuscular transmission monitoring - 2. Subjective neuromuscular transmission monitoring The continuous monitoring of NMT blocking involves the stimulation of the ulnar nerve and the corresponding measurement of acceleration in the adductor muscle of the thumb (with a three-dimensional acceleration sensor). Based on the force of contraction resulting from the stimulation, it is possible to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of an injected neuromuscular blocking agents or the patient's curare level. The apparatus and all of the settings associated with it are designed for use on adult and paediatric patients in hospital or health institutions so that the patient's curare level can be monitored. The ToFscan system is composed of the monitor, the hand sensor, and the US AC power supply unit. The hand sensor itself consists of the thumb splint/3D accelerometer, the electrode clamps, and the cable which connects to the monitor. The ToFscan can perform several different modes of electrical stimulation in accordance with usual clinical practice: - -TOF (Train Of Four) - PTC (Post Tetanic Count) - - -ATP (Automated TOF PTC) - DBS (Double Burst) (3,3) (3,2) - - ST (Single Twitch) 0.1 Hz and 1 Hz - - -TET (Tetanus) 50 Hz The monitor displays the various stimulation settings, the time elansed between stimulations, and the results for the measurements made in response to TOF, PTC, and ATP stimulations. The responses to other types of stimulation are gaged visually by the health professional. The device and stimulation settings are chosen using a rotary knob.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The description focuses on standard signal processing and measurement techniques (acceleromyography) and does not mention any AI/ML components or algorithms.

No
The device monitors the effect of neuromuscular blocking agents; it does not treat a disease or condition.

Yes
Explanation: The device monitors the neuromuscular block of a patient to assess the effectiveness of neuromuscular blocking agents or the patient's curare level, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is composed of a monitor, a hand sensor (which includes a splint, accelerometer, electrode clamps, and cable), and a power supply unit. These are physical hardware components, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • ToFscan's Function: The ToFscan directly interacts with the patient's body by applying electrical stimulation to a nerve and measuring the resulting muscle movement. It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor neuromuscular block by measuring physical responses (muscle acceleration) to electrical stimulation, not by analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the ToFscan falls under the category of a medical device that performs a physiological measurement, but it is not an IVD.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The ToFscan is a neuromuscular transmission monitor for monitoring the neuromuscular block of a patient in the operating theatre, recovery room or intensive care unit.
The effect of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) is monitored by measuring the acceleration of the muscle movement (acceleromyography) or by visually observing muscle contractions consequent to electrical stimulation. The ToFscan has a three-dimensional acceleration sensor (accelerometer) to detect and quantify a patient's thumb movement (contracting adductor pollicis). The sensor is directly integrated into the finger's splint, making it possible to obtain its optimal and reproducible positioning.

5.4. Device description

The ToFscan is a neuromuscular transmission (NMT) monitoring the neuromuscular block of a patient in the operating theatre, recovery room or intensive care unit. It is used by health professionals (anaesthesiologists, doctors, or fully qualified nurse anaesthetists) for:

    1. Objective neuromuscular transmission monitoring
    1. Subjective neuromuscular transmission monitoring

The continuous monitoring of NMT blocking involves the stimulation of the ulnar nerve and the corresponding measurement of acceleration in the adductor muscle of the thumb (with a three-dimensional acceleration sensor). Based on the force of contraction resulting from the stimulation, it is possible to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of an injected neuromuscular blocking agents or the patient's curare level.

5.5. Indications for use

The TOFscan is a neuromuscular transmission monitoring the neuromuscular block of a patient in the operating theatre, recovery room or intensive care unit.

The effect of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) is monitored by measuring the acceleration of the muscle movement (acceleromyography) or by visually observing muscle contractions consequent to electrical stimulation. The TOFscan has a three-dimensional acceleration sensor (accelerometer) to detect and quantify a patient's thumb movement (contracting adductor pollicis). The sensor is directly integrated into the finger's splint, making it possible to obtain its optimal and reproducible positioning.

The Indications for use statement for the ToFscan is not identical to the predicate device, however, the differences do not alter the intended diagnostic use of the device nor do they raise different questions of safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both devices rely on the use of acceleromyography to measure muscle response to electrical stimulation as an indication of a patient's curare level. The predicate device has an additional intended use, nerve location, which is not included in the ToFscan.

5.6. Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device

Measuring and/or observing the movement of the thumb in response to well-defined electrical stimulation patterns in order to monitor the neuromuscular blocking of a patient is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices.

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements as presented in the table below. The information regarding the nerve location function of the TOF-Watch have not been included as this function is not available on the ToFscan.
