Intended Use
The Gyrus ENT Nerve Stimulator is intended to provide electrical stimulation to cranial and peripheral motor nerves to aid in nerve location during surgical procedures.
Device Story
Gyrus ENT Nerve Stimulator provides electrical stimulation to cranial and peripheral motor nerves; aids surgeons in nerve location and identification during surgical procedures. Device operates via 100-240VAC power supply; supports monopolar and bipolar probes. User interface includes touch pad for frequency selection (3, 10, 30Hz), current adjustment (0.1-5.0 mA), and visual indicators for frequency and current confirmation. Surgeon uses device intraoperatively to test nerve excitability; output helps identify nerve proximity, potentially reducing risk of nerve damage during surgery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Device safety verified through UL2601/IEC 601 testing for electrical safety and IEC 601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Electrical nerve stimulator; 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz power source. Supports monopolar and bipolar probes. Features digital display for current settings and frequency/current confirmation indicators. Safety standards: UL2601/IEC 601, IEC 601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by clinicians during surgical procedures to provide electrical stimulation to cranial and peripheral motor nerves to aid in nerve location and identify nerves and test their excitability.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A surgical nerve stimulator/locator is a device that is intended to provide electrical stimulation to the body to locate and identify nerves and to test their excitability.

The Gyrus ENT Nerve Stimulator is intended to provide electrical stimulation to cranial and peripheral motor nerves to aid in nerve location during surgical procedures.
The Gyrus ENT Nerve Stimulator that is described in this notification has the same technological characteristics, power modality and mode of operation as the predicate device. The intended use is substantially equivalent to the described predicate Neurosign Model 100. The Gyrus ENT Nerve Stimulator is designed to meet:
- UL2601/IEC 601 safety testing for 100Vac, 50/60 Hz. .
- UL2601/IEC 601 safety testing for 120Vac, 50/60 Hz. .
- UL2601/IEC 601 safety testing for 220Vac, 50/60 Hz. .
- UL2601/IEC 601 safety testing for 240Vac, 50/60 Hz. .
- EMC Testing, IEC 601-1-2. .
Conclusion: As a nerve stimulator only the Gyrus ENT Nerve Stimulator has the same intended use and the same basic technological characteristics as the Neurosion Model 100 Neural Tissue Stimulator and does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
