Intended Use
Neuromed, Inc.'s One-Step Connect™ Leads are intended to be used with Neuromed trial extensions and/or receivers, transmitters, and antennae to electrically stimulate spinal cord fiber tracts for treatment of chronic pain of the extremities and/or trunk. The proposed device modification does not affect the original intended use of the legally marketed device.
Device Description
Neuromed, Inc.'s One-Step Connect™ Leads are implantable devices consisting of spaced electrodes connected by wires within a cover sheath. These percutaneous leads are introduced into the epidural space superior to the spinal segment responsible for pain impulse transmission, and connected to a radiofrequency (RF) receiver or pulse generator.

No
The summary describes a spinal cord stimulation lead, a hardware component, and focuses on material changes and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The document explicitly states "treatment of chronic pain of the extremities and/or trunk" in the "Intended Use" section, which describes a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as an implantable lead system used to electrically stimulate spinal cord fiber tracts for pain treatment, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is an "implantable device consisting of spaced electrodes connected by wires within a cover sheath." This describes a physical, hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "electrically stimulate spinal cord fiber tracts for treatment of chronic pain of the extremities and/or trunk." This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "implantable device consisting of spaced electrodes connected by wires within a cover sheath." It is designed to be implanted and deliver electrical stimulation directly to the spinal cord.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for therapeutic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical Testing:
Biostability testing of the polyurethane material using the Stokes method is provided in the manufacturer's Master File.

Comparative testing of product fatigue strength indicates that the polyurethane lead insulators have equivalent or better durability than the original polyethylene insulators.

Comparative tensile strength testing of the original polyethylene lead insulators and the proposed new polyurethane lead insulators demonstrates an equivalent or better bond strength between the polyurethane insulator material and the electrodes.

Master File biocompatibility information, combined with supplemental testing performed by Neuromed, Inc., demonstrates that the change from polyethylene to polyurethane raises no significant safety or effectiveness questions relating to biocompatibility.

§ 882.5880 Implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief.

(a)
Identification. An implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief is a device that is used to stimulate electrically a patient's spinal cord to relieve severe intractable pain. The stimulator consists of an implanted receiver with electrodes that are placed on the patient's spinal cord and an external transmitter for transmitting the stimulating pulses across the patient's skin to the implanted receiver.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
