Intended Use
The Temena Nerve Location Needles are intended for use in regional anesthesia procedures, by anesthesiologists or other trained professionals, for the location of peripheral nerves with a nerve stimulator and/or with an ultrasound device.
Device Story
Temena Nerve Location Needles (Hybrid and USC) are stainless steel cannulas used in regional anesthesia; operated by anesthesiologists or trained professionals in clinical settings. Hybrid needles feature a coating for nerve stimulation and echo location; USC (uncoated) needles are for echo location. Both include connections for anesthetic administration. Needles facilitate peripheral nerve location via nerve stimulator and/or ultrasound device. By providing precise needle placement, the device assists clinicians in delivering regional anesthesia, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel cannula; 21-22 AWG; 35-150mm lengths. Hybrid version uses Parylene (Nanolyene) coating for nerve stimulation and echo location; USC version is uncoated for echo location. Bevel tip design. Sterilized via ETO. Manual operation; no software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in regional anesthesia procedures by anesthesiologists or trained professionals to locate peripheral nerves using nerve stimulation and/or ultrasound guidance.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An anesthesia conduction needle is a device used to inject local anesthetics into a patient to provide regional anesthesia.

#### Intended Use:
The Temena Nerve Location Needles are intended for use in regional anesthesia procedures, by anesthesiologists or other trained professionals, for the location of peripheral nerves with a nerve stimulator and/or with an ultrasound device.
#### Device Description:
The Temena Hybrid and USC Nerve Location Needles include a stainless steel cannula and connections for anesthetic administration and with the Hybrid Needle a connection for nerve stimulation. The needle is available in a range of lengths and 21 or 22 AWG. The USC (uncoated version) may be used for echo nerve location and the Hybrid (coated version) for both stimulator and echo location.
#### Predicate Device:
Temena UPC Nerve Stimulator Needle -- K990100 Havel Echostim Facit Tip K063380
{1}------------------------------------------------
## Substantial Equivalence:
The Temena Hybrid needle is identical to the already cleared Te me na UPC Needle under K990100 with modifications to the coating and surface for use as either echo or stimulation nerve location. Testing has been performed under Design Controls to confirm these changes with acceptable results. Therefore this Te me na hybrid needle is considered to be substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Ward:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
