Intended Use

The TOF-Watch S device can be used as an objective monitor using accelerometry for measuring the muscle contraction following stimulation of the respective motorneuron, as a peripheral nerve stimulator (without the objective measuring function) for subjective monitoring or as a nerve location device.

Device Description

The TOF-Watch S device is a neuromuscular transmission monitor capable of estimating the degree of neuromuscular block in anesthetized patients. It can be used as an objective monitor using accelerometry for measuring the muscle contraction following a stimulation of the respective motorneuron, as a peripheral nerve stimulator (without the objective measuring function) for subjective monitoring and as a nerve location device utilizing a needle electrode. The TOF - Watch S device is packaged individually in a neutral carton box. The complete package contains a TOF-Watch S, an acceleration transducer, a surface electrode cable and a multilingual manual.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) submission for the TOF-Watch S electric nerve stimulator does not contain a detailed study demonstrating its performance against specific acceptance criteria. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing extensive clinical trial data with predefined acceptance criteria.

The document states:
"In summary, the TOF-Watch S described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on the following similarities:

  • Have the same indicated use.
  • Use the same operating principle.
  • Incorporate the same basic design.
  • Incorporate the same materials ●
  • Packaged the same using the same materials and process."

Given this, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on comparing technological characteristics to a predicate device (TOF-Watch) rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria.

Therefore, for the specific questions:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not provided in the document.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not provided in the document.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not provided in the document.
  4. Adjudication method: Not provided in the document.
  5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No.
  6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is a medical device for direct patient use, not an AI algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable, as no dedicated performance study is described.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is a medical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Ms. Rivas:

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 legally marketed predicate 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.
