The Cefaly® Dual is indicated for: - The acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years of age or older. - The prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine in patients 18 years of age or older.
Device Description
The Cefaly® Dual device is a supraorbital transcutaneous electrical 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. The Cefaly® Dual is operated by a rechargeable battery. A pressure on the single button allows selecting and starting a stimulation program, which runs automatically. The electrical impulses generated by the Cefaly® Dual device are transmitted transcutaneously via the supraorbital electrode to excite (trigger action potentials on) the supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis nerves. Supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis (or supratrochlear and supraorbital) nerves belong to the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve (VI). Therefore, the supraorbital neurostimulation is also known as external trigeminal nerve stimulation. The supraorbital neurostimulation generates an analgesic effect and is intended to treat migraine headaches.

No
The description focuses on electrical nerve stimulation and does not mention any AI/ML components or algorithms.

Yes
The device is indicated for the acute and prophylactic treatment of migraine, and its description explicitly states that it "generates an analgesic effect and is intended to treat migraine headaches."

No
The device description indicates it is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for treating migraine, not for diagnosing it. It "generates an analgesic effect and is intended to treat migraine headaches."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "supraorbital transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator device to be applied on the forehead" and describes physical components like a self-adhesive electrode, a rechargeable battery, and a button, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Cefaly® Dual 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Cefaly® Dual Function: The description clearly states that the Cefaly® Dual is a supraorbital transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. It works by applying electrical impulses to the forehead to stimulate nerves and treat migraine headaches. It does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

Therefore, the Cefaly® Dual falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Jean-Yves Mignolet:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

5.2. Device information

Device Trade or Proprietary Name: Cefalv® Dual Device Common or Usual Name (Regulation Description): Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator to treat headache Device Classification Name: Stimulator, Nerve, Electrical, Transcutaneous, For Migraine (21 CRF 882.5891. Product Code PCC) Device Class: Class II

5.3. Substantial equivalency

Substantial Equivalency is claimed against the following legally marketed devices:

  • Cefaly® Acute (510(k) number K171446) ●
  • Cefaly® (510(k) number K160237) .

In particular, while the Cefaly® Acute has one stimulation program indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the Cefaly® has one stimulation program indicated for the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine, the Cefaly® Dual device combines the output modes (stimulation programs) of the two predicate devices. Consequently, the Cefaly® Dual combines the indications for use of the two predicate devices (see Section 5.5).

The Cefaly® Dual is operated by a rechargeable battery. A pressure on the single button allows selecting and starting a stimulation program, which runs automatically.

The electrical impulses generated by the Cefaly® Dual device are transmitted transcutaneously via the supraorbital electrode to excite (trigger action potentials on) the supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis nerves. Supratrochlearis and supraorbitalis (or supratrochlear and supraorbital) nerves belong to the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve (VI).

The supraorbital neurostimulation generates an analgesic effect and is intended to treat migraine headaches.

5.5. Indications for use of the device

The indications for use of the Cefaly® Dual are:

  • The acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years of age or older,
  • The prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine in patients 18 years of age or older.

5.6. Summary of the technological characteristics of the Cefaly® Dual in comparison with the predicate Cefaly® Acute and Cefaly® devices

The Cefaly® Dual device is significantly equivalent to the legally marketed devices Cefaly® Acute (K171446) and Cefaly® (K160237) in terms of technological characteristics (design, material, energy source), except for the button color, and it combines the output modes of the two predicate devices. In particular, while each predicate device offers a single stimulation program for given indications for use, the Cefaly® Dual offers these two different stimulation programs in a single device, and each stimulation program is associated with its specific FDA-approved indications for use.

The Cefaly® Dual device is made of a plastic casing identical to that of the predicate Cefaly® Acute and Cefaly® devices. Only the button color is changed to easily differentiate three devices. It works with the same electrode as the predicate devices. It is powered by the same battery. The electronics inside the device is also the software has been adapted. The Cefaly® Dual device delivers biphasic impulses of the same pulse shape and width (250 us)

than the predicate devices. The repetition frequency of the Cefaly® Dual device depends on the selected stimulation program. For the program indicated for the acute treatment of migraine (Program 1), the frequency is 100 Hz, as for the Cefaly® Acute. For the program indicated for the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine (Program 2), the frequency is 60 Hz, as for the Cefaly®.
