The description focuses on standard EMG and nerve stimulation technology, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is used to locate and identify nerves during surgical procedures, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic one.
No
The device is described as an EMG machine and nerve stimulator intended to locate, identify, monitor, and stimulate cranial motor nerves during procedures. While it provides information about nerve activity, its primary purpose is not to diagnose a disease or condition, but rather to guide surgical procedures by identifying anatomically relevant structures and monitoring their integrity.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "EMG machine and nerve stimulator" consisting of a "central control unit," "pre-amplifier pod," "electrodes," and a "stimulator pod" with a "stimulating probe." These are all hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Neurosign 400 is described as an EMG machine and nerve stimulator used to locate and identify cranial motor nerves during surgical procedures. It works by detecting electrical activity in muscles (EMG) and stimulating nerves directly.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It interacts directly with the patient's nervous and muscular systems in real-time during a procedure.
Therefore, the Neurosign 400 falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring and stimulation during surgery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Neurosign 400 is intended to monitor and to stimulate cranial motor nerves. Cranial motor nerves are monitored by detecting EMG activity in the muscles they innervate.
To locate and identify cranial motor nerves during ENT and intra-cranial procedures.

Device Description
The Neurosign 400 is an EMG machine and nerve stimulator. The machine consists of a central control unit to which a pre-amplifier pod and intramuscular, or surface, electrodes are attached for EMG recordings. Additionally, connected to the main unit is a stimulator pod to which a stimulating probe, which delivers current to nerve tissue, may be connected.

Section 3: Summary of Safety and Effectiven
Neurosign 400 Motor Nerve Monitor
The Neurosign 400 is an EMG machine and nerve stimulator. The machine consists of a central control unit to which a pre-amplifier pod and intramuscular, or surface, electrodes are attached for EMG recordings. Additionally, connected to the main unit is a stimulator pod to which a stimulating probe, which delivers current to nerve tissue, may be connected.
The Neurosign 400 is intended to monitor and to stimulate cranial motor nerves. Cranial motor nerves are monitored by detecting EMG activity in the muscles they innervate.
The Neurosign 400 is similar to the following products which are currently in commercial distribution in the U.S.A.
