Intended Use
The TOF3D is used to objectively monitor the level of neuromuscular transmission by measuring muscle contraction following stimulation. The TOF3D can also be used as a peripheral nerve stimulator (without the objective measuring function) for subjective monitoring. The device is intended for use for adolescents greater than 18 through 21 years of age, and adults.
Device Description
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is capable to monitor the level of neuromuscular transmission (NMT) during surgery of in the intensive care unit by stimulating different nerves and measuring the response of the respective muscles to the stimulation. The different locations for monitoring are for instance the ulnar nerve/adductor pollicis muscle, the posterior tibial nerve/flexor halluces brevis muscle and the facial nerve/orbicularis oculi muscle. The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D uses acceleromyography (AMG) measurement for recording of evoked muscle responses. The results are shown on the LCD display of the device and shall aid qualified medical staff to maintain the proper level of neuromuscular block and to determine the level of recovery from neuromuscular block.

No
The summary describes a device that uses acceleromyography to measure muscle response to nerve stimulation and displays the results. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the description, intended use, or performance studies. The software is described as "moderate" level of concern, which is typical for many medical devices without AI/ML.

No
The device monitors the level of neuromuscular transmission and aids in maintaining proper neuromuscular block and recovery, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

Yes

The device "objectively monitor[s] the level of neuromuscular transmission by measuring muscle contraction" and aims to "aid qualified medical staff to maintain the proper level of neuromuscular block and to determine the level of recovery from neuromuscular block," which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses acceleromyography (AMG) measurement and has an LCD display, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • TOF3D Function: The TOF3D directly stimulates nerves and measures muscle response within the patient's body (in vivo). It is monitoring a physiological response, not analyzing a biological sample.

The device description clearly states it "stimulat[es] different nerves and measur[es] the response of the respective muscles to the stimulation." This is an in vivo measurement of neuromuscular function.

| Stimulation patterns | | |
| TOF | Yes | Yes |
| PTC | Yes | Yes |
| 1 Hz | Yes | Yes |
| 0.1 Hz | Yes | Yes |
| DBS | Yes | Yes |

The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D shares the same indications for use, device operation, overall technical and functional capabilities with its predicate device TOF-WATCH SX (K992598). Both devices rely on the use of acceleromyograph to measure muscle response to electrical stimulation to objectively monitor the level of neuromuscular transmission. The additional functionality of the TOF-WATCH SX (nerve location device - localize nerves for loco-regional anesthesia) is based on the same technical principle used for the nerve stimulation functionality, therefore additional risks in clinical application are not to be expected.

The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is substantially equivalent to the predicate device TOF-WATCH SX (K992598).

5.7 Performance Data

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D complies with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards for safety and performance and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC-

Software Verification and Validation Testing

The software for this device was considered as a "moderate2 level of concern. Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices".

Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". Based on the results of the biocompatibility evaluation, it can be concluded that the virological safety risks of the TOF3D sensors with accessories are acceptable for use as medical device surface skin contact pars.

Animal and Clinical Studies

No animal or clinical testing was required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of this device to its predicate.

The human figure is in the style of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. The text around the figure reads "HOMINUM SALUTI MEDICINAM EXERCENS".

Conclusion 5.8

The subject device has the same indications for use, technological characteristics, and design and operating principles as the predicate device. The identified differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance of the device is supported by non-clinical testing and risk management activities. The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is substantially equivalent to the TOF-WATCH SX, cleared under K992598.
