Intended Use
The Drug Relief is a percutaneous nerve field stimulatory (PNFS) system, that can be used as an aid to reduce the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, through application to branches of Cranial Nerves V, VII, IX, and X, and the occipital nerves identified by transillumination.
Device Description
The Drug Relief™ is designed to aid in the treatment of opiate withdrawal symptoms by the method of electrical stimulation at the auricular stimulation points. The Drug Relief is a wearable, battery-operated device that is designed to administer periodical low-level electrical pulses to the ear over five days / 120 hours (2 hours ON/1 minute OFF) from the time of activation of the device. The electrical pulse from the device will be delivered to the branches of Cranial Nerves on the ear through a set of wire assembly and Stimulation needles. Three zinc air batteries with 1.4 V each provides the required stimulation energy for a maximum of 120 hours. There are three Stimulation electrodes and one ground electrode - which constitute of a needle and lead/ wire with the snap-fit ring. The stimulation needles are inserted at three specific points, which have the ability to stimulate the cranial nerves. The ground electrode is inserted at one specific point (constant in all treatments) which forms the functional earthing to the device. This constant current source guarantees equivalent stimulation energy regardless of the individual impedance of the skin. The stimulation pattern consists of rectangular pulses with differing inter-pulse intervals. A 3-pin connector is provided, which is used to check the output voltage of the device once it is activated and before applying to the patient with any one of the voltage measuring devices available in the market with the appropriate regulatory compliance.
More Information

No
The description focuses on electrical stimulation parameters and hardware components, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for data analysis, pattern recognition, or adaptive stimulation.

Yes

The device is designed to aid in the treatment of opiate withdrawal symptoms by applying electrical stimulation, which directly addresses a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a stimulatory system used to reduce symptoms, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a wearable, battery-operated device, wire assembly, stimulation needles, electrodes, and a connector. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside the body (in vitro) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Drug Relief Function: The Drug Relief device is a percutaneous nerve field stimulatory system. It works by applying electrical stimulation to specific nerves on the ear to reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal. This is a therapeutic intervention applied to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.

The description clearly outlines a device that delivers electrical pulses to the patient's ear for treatment purposes, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic test.

Performance Testing Summary

The Drug Relief device and its components are subjected to performance testing to validate the effectiveness of each unit. The final product testing is performed to verify and compare the effectual output along with that of the predicate device. The functional test is performed for 120 hours to monitor the continuous performance. The pulse width, pulse duration, amplitude and current values are captured for the Drug Relief device. The Drug Relief has equivalent Performance specifications when compared to the predicate device.

All the hardware components, form factors, material for sterilization and patient contacting materials of the Drug Relief are similar to the 510(K) cleared device ANSiStim-PP (K170391).

Compliance with Standards

The ANSiStim complies with the following standards

    1. IEC 60601-1 2. IEC 60601-1-2 3. ISO 10993-1 4. ISO 10993-5 5. ISO 10993-6 6. ISO 10993-7 7. ISO 10993-10 8. ISO 10993-11 9. ISO 11135

Sterilization Testing Summary

The needle package was subjected to Bio-burden test. The Needle packs are exposed to EtO Sterilization to curtail the presence of microorganisms and to achieve the defined sterility assurance level (SAL). During the sterilization process the biological indicators are used to ensure the desired sterility assurance level. These BIs were placed at the appropriate location, where the sterilizing conditions are the most difficult to achieve. These needle packages carry a chemical indicator on the rear side which indicates the exposure to EtO. The sterility test performed on the needles indicates that there is no turbidity. The residual risk report carried out on the sterilized needle packs evidenced that the results are in-line with standards requirement. All Sterilization testing was performed in accordance with ISO 11135:2014-Sterilization of healthcare productsethylene oxide, ISO 11140-1:2005/(R) 2010 Sterilization of healthcare products- chemical indicators, ISO 10993-7:2008/(R) 2012 Biological evaluation of medical devicesethylene oxide sterilization residuals, ISO 11737-1:2006/(R) 2011 Sterilization of medical devices- Microbiological methods- Part 1: Determination of a population of microorganisms on products, ISO 11737-2: 2009 Sterilization of medical devices-Microbiological methods- Part2: Tests of Sterility performed in the definition, validation and maintenance of a Sterilization process and ISO 11138-2:2006/(R) 2010- Sterilization

9. Non-Clinical Testing Summary

The bench test has been performed and found that the Drug Relief met all the requirements specifications and standards requirements. The testings includes the following:

    1. MEE testing as per IEC 60601-1
    1. EMI/EMC testing as per IEC 60601-1-2
    1. Biocompatibility testing as per ISO 10993
    1. Performance testing

10. Conclusion

Hence it is concluded that by demonstrating the Performance testing and with the Indications For Use, Environment for Use, Biocompatibility and compliance with the same harmonized standards, the product Drug Relief is substantially equivalent to the predicate device NSS-2 BRIDGE.
