The summary describes a disposable hypodermic needle electrode for EMG and drug delivery, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is used to locate a muscle for diagnosis (EMG), stimulate it, record action potentials, and deliver drugs, but the needle itself does not provide a therapeutic effect. The drug delivered through the needle would be the therapeutic agent, not the needle itself.
Yes
The device is used for electromyography (EMG), which involves recording motor unit action potentials to locate a particular muscle. This process of identifying and assessing muscle activity is a diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Disposable Hypodermic Needle Electrode," which is a physical hardware component. The intended use also describes inserting a "probe" and injecting medication via the "lumen of the needle," further confirming it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used in vivo (within a living organism) for electromyography (EMG), muscle stimulation, recording, and drug delivery. IVD devices are used in vitro (outside of a living organism) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description "Disposable Hypodermic Needle Electrode" aligns with a device used for direct interaction with the patient's body.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "muscle," which is an internal part of the body.
The function of this device is to interact directly with the patient's muscle for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, which is characteristic of a medical device used in vivo, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The disposable hypodermic monopolar needles are FOR SINGLE USE ONLY in electromyography (EMG) in situations wherein it is desired to insert an electrode, in the form of a probe, into a patient to locate a particular muscle and then inject a medication into that musche. The hypodermic needle with an open lumen is designed for muscle stimulation, motor unit action potential recording and drug, delivery. Once the physician is satisfied with the location, he/she injects a very. therein via the lumen of the needle.
Note: TECA Corp. does not supply any drugs with needle electrodes nor does TECA Corp. offer for sale any form of drugs.
