The SafeOp 2: Neural Informatix System is intended for use in monitoring neurological status by recording somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), electromyography (EMG), or assessing the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Neuromonitoring procedures include intracranial, intratemporal, extratemporal, neck dissections, upper and lower extremities, spinal degenerative treatments, pedicle screw fixation, intervertebral fusion cages, rhizotomy, orthopedic surgery, open/percutaneous, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical surgical procedures.

The SafeOp™ 2: Neural Informatix System (SafeOp 2 System), formerly known as EPAD 2 (K182542), consists of the SafeOp head unit with power supply and IV pole mount, the Alpha Informatix Tablet with docking station and power supply and a data transfer USB cable. Associated disposable accessories consists of an electrode harness, surface and/or subdermal needle electrodes, and stimulating probe or clip contained in various kits. The SafeOp 2 System head unit contains a complete data acquisition system that has builtin stimulators, amplifiers, relays, A/D Converters, Digital Signal Processors, CPUs, and storage devices. The head unit interfaces with other equipment through communication ports and serves as the patient-contacting portion of the system where it is close to the surgical field. The head unit hardware contains an eight acquisition (input) channel and six-output channel Evoked Potential Stimulator that is used in the operating room to display nerve and muscle responses. The user can use these responses to diagnose insults to the peripheral or central nerves and to determine relative nerve location, proximity, and integrity data. The SafeOp 2 System application provides the primary graphical user interface and controls for the SafeOp 2 System. The application runs on a touchscreen tablet mobile device which connects to the head unit either via wired USB cable or wireless via Wi-Fi, enabling both user input (e.g., patient and procedure information, adjustment of stimulus and acquisition parameters) and display of output (e.g., display of acquired waveforms, data, messages and alerts to the clinician).

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the SafeOp 2: Neural Informatix System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (EPAD™ 2 System, K182542) rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on clinical performance.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the typical sense of a clinical study measuring diagnostic accuracy or treatment efficacy. Instead, it demonstrates "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device by comparing various specifications. The "acceptance criteria" for this submission would broadly be that the device's specifications and performance are comparable to the predicate, with any differences not introducing new safety or effectiveness concerns.
