The NeuroOne OneRF® Trigeminal Nerve Ablation System is indicated for use in procedures to create radiofrequency lesions for the treatment of pain, or for lesioning nerve tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures.
OneRF® Ablation System for Trigeminal Nerve (TN) Ablation uses radiofrequency (RF) ablation to create lesion(s) in an area of nerve tissue that the surgeon has identified for ablation. The ablation site may be identified by diagnostic stimulation of the trigeminal nerve using the Trigeminal Nerve Radiofrequency (TN-RF) Probe to accurately locate the target area for ablation.
The subject device is identical to the sEEG-RF Probe cleared after FDA review of K231675. In K231675, the FDA reviewed and cleared the sEEG-RF Probe when used with the NeuroOne OneRF® Generator to form the OneRF® Ablation System. The OneRF® Ablation System is indicated to create radiofrequency lesions in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures.
In this new 510(k), we propose to market the identical sEEG-RF Probes to create lesion(s) in the trigeminal nerve "for the treatment of pain." This use for treatment of facial pain requires new accessories (Cannula and Tuohy Borst Adapter) for insertion/placement of the sEEG-RF Probe. When the sEEG-RF Probe is used to create lesion(s) in the trigeminal nerve, it will be marketed as the Trigeminal Nerve Radiofrequency (TN-RF) Probe. The TN-RF Probe and new accessories, when combined with the cleared (K231675) NeuroOne OneRF® Generator and accessories, will be referred to as the OneRF® Trigeminal Nerve Ablation System.
The OneRF® for TN Ablation System components/accessories consist of the following:
- TN-RF Probe (with Stylet)
- 16mm x 5 Contact TN-RF Probe Kit
- 26.5mm x 8 Contact TN-RF Probe Kit
- Insertion Components
i. Insulated Cannula w/Stylet
ii. Tuohy Borst Adapter (Adapter) - Stimulation Components
i. Cable Assembly (5 or 8 connector pins) (CA) - Ablation Components
i. Stylet
ii. Temperature Accessory (TA)
iii. Spacer Tubes
iv. Radiofrequency Connector Box (RFCB)
v. Equipment- Generator
- Generator Interface Cable (GIC)
- Cart
- Foot Pedal (optional)
- Ground Pad
The provided document is a 510(k) Clearance Letter for a medical device. It does not describe a study that uses a test set, training set, or ground truth to evaluate algorithm performance. The clearance is based on the substantial equivalence of the "NeuroOne OneRF Trigeminal Nerve Radiofrequency Probes" to existing predicate devices, supported by non-clinical performance tests and biocompatibility assessments.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in a table format as there are no relevant acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics for an AI/algorithm-based study within the document.
Here's why each of your requested points cannot be answered from the provided text:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: The document focuses on performance testing related to mechanical, dimensional, packaging integrity, and sterilization aspects of the physical device, not an AI algorithm's performance. The "Lesion Size Testing" states "Lesion sizes were proportional to time and temperature. Lesion size is comparable to predicate," but it doesn't provide specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed numerical results beyond this qualitative statement.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The studies are non-clinical, involving physical device testing, not data analysis on a test set.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. There is no ground truth established by experts for a test set in these non-clinical tests.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretative device.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
Summary of available information regarding performance testing:
The document outlines a series of non-clinical performance tests to support the substantial equivalence claim. These tests primarily verify the physical and functional integrity of the device and its components.
- Lesion Size Testing:
- Overview: Measured lesion size as a function of temperature and time, for monopolar and bipolar configurations, and temperature control/manual modes.
- Results: "Lesion sizes were proportional to time and temperature. Lesion size is comparable to predicate." (No specific numerical data or explicit acceptance criteria provided in the summary).

PREDICATE DEVICE (S)
The primary predicate is the Cosman TEW Trigeminal Nerve RF Probe which received marketing authorization after FDA review and clearance of K050084 under 21 CFR 882.4725 (product code GXI). This RF Probe was chosen as the primary predicate because it has the same intended use/indications for use, namely RF lesioning of the nerve tissue (trigeminal ganglion) for treatment of pain and similar technological characteristics as the subject RF Probe.
A second predicate is the NeuroOne sEEG-RF Probe which received marketing authorization after FDA review and clearance of K231675) under 21 CFR 882.4725 (product code GXI). This RF Probe was chosen as the secondary predicate because it has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the subject RF Probe. The identical sEEG-RF Probes are being used to support a this use to create lesion(s) in the trigeminal nerve "for the treatment of pain." This new indication for treatment of facial pain requires new accessories (Cannula and Tuohy Borst Adapter) for insertion/placement of the sEEG-RF Probe. When the sEEG-RF Probe is used to create lesion(s) in the trigeminal nerve, it is marketed as the Trigeminal Nerve Radiofrequency (TN-RF) Probe. The TN-RF Probe and new accessories, when combined with the cleared (K231675) NeuroOne OneRF® Generator and accessories, will be referred to as the OneRF® Trigeminal Nerve Ablation System.
The predicate devices were chosen as the Intended Use is the same. The Indications for Use, Fundamental Scientific Technology, and Principles of Operation are either the same or if different did not raise new questions of safety and/or effectiveness when compared to the subject device.
