(61 days)
The SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System is indicated for up to 60 days in the back and/or extremities for:
- · Symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain, post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain;
- · Symptomatic relief of post-traumatic pain;
- · Symptomatic relief of post-operative pain.
The SPRINT PNS System is not intended to treat pain in the craniofacial region.
The Sprint PNS System is comprised of a percutaneous electrode placed via an introducer needle in proximity to a target peripheral nerve associated with a painful area and a wearable external Pulse Generator (stimulator) that delivers stimulation therapy to the percutaneous electrode. The Sprint PNS System provides peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) therapy to relieve pain. The percutaneous electrode (MicroLead) is a sterile, coiled, stainless steel wire designed to be percutaneously inserted via an introducer needle and remain indwelling for the duration of the therapy (up to 60 days). The Pulse Generator and accessory components provide tools for percutaneous MicroLead placement, stimulator programming by the clinician, and stimulator use by the patient.
The provided documents do not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria, specifically concerning AI/algorithm performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, or multi-reader multi-case studies.
The documents are a 510(k) premarket notification for the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation System, which describes a medical device for pain relief, its comparison to a predicate device, and the non-clinical testing performed. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device, based on similar indications for use and technological characteristics, rather than establishing performance against specific acceptance criteria through clinical studies involving human readers or AI algorithms.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes used for test and training sets, or data provenance.
- Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment.
- Adjudication methods for test sets.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study details (effect size of AI assistance).
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.

Dear Kathryn Stager:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);
{1}------------------------------------------------
and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

5. COMPARISON OF INDICATIONS FOR USE WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Indications Statement:
The SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System is indicated for up to 60 days in the back and/or extremities for:
- Symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain, post-surgical and post-. traumatic acute pain;
- Symptomatic relief of post-traumatic pain; .
- Symptomatic relief of post-operative pain. .
The SPRINT PNS System is not intended to treat pain in the craniofacial region.
Comparison:
The indication for use statement is identical to that cleared in K170902.
6. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
SPR has made some design modifications to the SPRINT® PNS System to improve ease of use and reliability of the system. None of the changes affect the intended use or fundamental functionality of the device.
The proposed modifications include the following:
- Minor changes have been made to parameter ranges and adjustment of . stimulus intensity.
- The Pulse Generator is now capable of delivering 2 channels of stimulation.
- . The Pulse Generator is now powered by a rechargeable battery pack that connects directly to it, rather than having the battery embedded in the disposable return current Pads.
- A Hand-Held Remote has been added to the system to enable the patient to . operate the stimulator (via Bluetooth communication) without having to press buttons and read a display on the skin-mounted stimulator. The clinician can also program stimulation parameters using the Hand-Held Remote.
- . A Clinical Programmer tablet computer has been added to the system and can be used to program the Pulse Generator (via Bluetooth) as an alternative to the

Hand-Held Remote for the clinician.
- . The OnePass Introducer System has been added to the system to enhance placement of the MicroLead through its Introducer. Echogenic markings have been added to the Percutaneous Sleeve, Stimulating Probe, and Introducer to enhance visibility under ultrasound.
- . Changes have been made to cables and accessories to simplify use.
None of these changes alters the fundamental delivery of the same range of stimulation parameters to the target nerve through the identical MicroLead, using the identical stimulus waveform, limited by the identical charge delivery, for the identical indications for use.
7. PERFORMANCE DATA
Nonclinical testing of this device includes biocompatibility testing, electrical testing (safety and electromagnetic compatibility), software verification and validation, system performance testing, human factors/usability testing, and sterile package integrity testing.
8. CONCLUSIONS
The Sprint PNS System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
