No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description points to a nerve monitor, which is a standard type of medical device.

No
The device is described as a "Motor Nerve Monitor" used to "locate and identify cranial and peripheral motor nerves during surgery." This function is for monitoring and identifying, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a "Motor Nerve Monitor" used to "locate and identify cranial and peripheral motor nerves during surgery." This indicates a monitoring or localization function rather than a diagnostic one. It helps in identifying existing structures, not in diagnosing disease or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "Neurosign 800. 8 Channel Motor Nerve Monitor," which strongly suggests a hardware component (an 8-channel monitor) is part of the device. The intended use also implies interaction with the patient's nervous system during surgery, which would typically require hardware for signal acquisition and monitoring.

Based on the provided information, the Neurosign 800 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "locate and identify cranial and peripheral motor nerves during surgery." This is a procedure performed in vivo (within a living organism) on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.

The Neurosign 800 is a device used directly on the patient during surgery, not for analyzing samples taken from the patient. Therefore, it falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Chris Hovey:

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. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
