Intended Use
Ad-Tech's Spinal Electrode is intended for measurement of muscle MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) type monitoring during spinal surgery.
Device Description
The Ad-Tech Spinal Electrode addressed in this premarket notification has identical materials, technological characteristics, sterilization procedures and packaging as the commercially available Ad-Tech Depth Electrode (K891920B). The device has similar intended use, materials and technological characteristics to the commercially available Nicolet Epidural Spinal Electrode (K882053). Like this device, the Ad-Tech Spinal Electrode is to be placed epidurally for monitoring evoked potentials.
More Information

K891920B

No
The summary describes a passive electrode for monitoring evoked potentials and explicitly states that AI, DNN, or ML are not mentioned.

No
The device is described as being "intended for measurement of muscle MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) type monitoring" during surgery, indicating a diagnostic or monitoring function rather than a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device is intended for "measurement of muscle MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) type monitoring during spinal surgery." This measurement provides information about a patient's physiological state, which can be used to inform clinical decisions during surgery.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrode," which is a hardware component used for measurement. The summary does not mention any software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "measurement of muscle MEP (Motor Evoked Potential) type monitoring during spinal surgery." This involves measuring electrical signals directly from the body (in vivo), not analyzing samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The device is an electrode placed "epidurally for monitoring evoked potentials." This is a direct interaction with the patient's nervous system, not an analysis of a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples, which are the hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Ad-Tech Spinal Electrode is a medical device used for physiological monitoring in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Allen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਕੇ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or requlations.
