Intended Use

The Intronix Model 8008 Myoguide System (Myoguide) is a medical device intended as a stimulator for nerve localization as well as an aid for guidance of injections into the muscles.

Device Story

Myoguide is a battery-powered, handheld EMG amplifier and nerve stimulator. It records electrophysiological signals from muscle via needle electrodes and provides audio feedback and visual display (LCD) of EMG signals/RMS values. Operates in two modes: EMG (records signals) and Stimulation (delivers electrical pulses through the same needle). Clinicians use the device to locate muscle/nerve sites for accurate needle placement and drug injection. The device assists in monitoring needle insertion and injection efficacy. It features an automatic power-off function and is designed for continuous use in clinical settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including software verification/validation, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld, battery-powered (4AA) device with ABS plastic enclosure. Features 160x64 LCD display, EMG amplifier, and onboard stimulator (0-20 mA, square wave). Connectivity via proprietary input port for needle electrodes. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-40. Type BF applied part.

Indications for Use

Indicated for nerve localization and as an aid for guidance of needle electrode insertion and/or injection of neuromodulator drugs into human muscles. Intended for prescription use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electrical peripheral nerve stimulator (neuromuscular blockade monitor) is a device used to apply an electrical current to a patient to test the level of pharmacological effect of anesthetic drugs and gases.

Predicate Devices Medtronic A/S – Clavis EMG Device K062478 Xavant Technology - STIMPOD NMS450 K102084 {1}------------------------------------------------ ### 6. Device Description Myoguide is a battery powered, handheld, EMG amplifier with audio feedback, LCD EMG signal and device status display, and current stimulation ranging from 0 mA - 20 mA. This device is internally powered and rated for continuous use. The patient input connection is a type BF applied part. Myoguide will automatically power off after 30 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life. Myoguide is designed to amplify electrophysiological signals from muscle and provide audio feedback to assist clinicians in locating areas of muscle activity. The Stimulator can be used as an adjunct. Myoguide provides muscle and nerve localization information, to accurately guide and monitor needle electrode insertion, and/or injection of neuromodulator drugs, into a muscle in the human body. Any drug used will be that of the physician. The large LCD display provides the complete system status at a glance. EMG audio, EMG signal display, EMG RMS Value, Integrated EMG signal strength and stimulation capability, increases efficacy for injection point localization. The simple control panel is intuitive and easy to operate. Myoguide operates in two modes: "[EMG]" and "[Stimulation]". The default mode, "[EMG]", records electromyographic (EMG) signals from electrodes placed on the subject. The second mode, "[Stimulation]", enables Myoguide's onboard stimulator to stimulate through the needle electrode that was used to record the EMG. This enables the clinician to record and stimulate through the same needle electrode. The <Mode> switch is used to change the state of operation. ### 7. Intended Use The Intronix Model 8008 Myoguide System (Myoguide) is a medical device intended as a stimulator for nerve localization as well as an aid for guidance of injections into the muscles. ### 8.

Non-Clinical Testing The device's hardware and software development, verification, and validation have been carried out in accordance with FDA guidelines. The software was tested against the established Software Design Specifications for each of the test plans to assure the device performs as intended. The Device Hazard analysis was completed and risk control implemented to reduce any identified hazards. The testing results supports that all the hardware specifications and software specifications have met the acceptance criteria for the device. The Myoguide System passed all testing and supports the claims of substantial equivalence and safe operation. The Myoguide System complies with the applicable voluntary standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Safety. The device passed all the electrical and safety testing according to national and international standards. ### 10. Clinical Testing There was no clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device. The substantial equivalence of the device is supported by the non-clinical testing. The verification and validation testing of the device software and electrical safety and EMC testing of the device was found to acceptable and supports the claims of substantial equivalence. ### 11. Conclusion By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics that can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices. It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the difference between the Myoguide System and the predicate devices does not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The Myoguide System, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices. {7}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
