Intended Use

Continuous nerve block kit and set permits placement of catheters next to nerves and nerve plexuses for continuous nerve block anesthesia or analgesia techniques for periods not exceeding 72 hours.

Device Story

Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) Catheter Kit and Set facilitates placement of catheters near nerves/plexuses for continuous anesthesia/analgesia (up to 72 hours). Kit includes catheter with stylet, Anesthesia Conduction (AC) needle, and SnapLock connector. Used in hospitals, sub-acute facilities, pain clinics, and physician offices by clinicians. Device allows for either stimulating or non-stimulating procedures; clinician chooses whether to connect to a nerve stimulator. Ultrasound guidance may be used for catheter tip location. Output is the physical placement of the catheter, enabling continuous delivery of anesthetic agents. Benefits include sustained pain management for surgical or therapeutic procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; components are identical to previously cleared predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Catheter: 19-20 Ga, 30-90 cm length, stainless steel spring core with polyurethane outer jacket, echogenic. Needle: 17-18 Ga, 38-152 mm length. Components include SnapLock connectors for stimulation or non-stimulation. Sterile, single-use kit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring peripheral nerve block procedures, including upper extremity, lower extremity, abdominal, and paravertebral locations. Contraindicated in patients with pre-existing nerve injury, neuritis, or plexitis. Relative contraindications include skin sepsis at the insertion site and systemic sepsis. Use with extreme care in patients with bleeding tendencies or those receiving anticoagulants.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An anesthesia conduction kit is a device used to administer to a patient conduction, regional, or local anesthesia. The device may contain syringes, needles, and drugs.

This submission is intended to clarify that the catheter and the associated components and accessories, which we refer to as kits and sets, may be used for non-stimulating procedures. Many of the components and accessories of these kits and sets are already cleared for use in PNB stimulating procedures as well. It is the option of the clinician as to whether they would or would not use stimulation A typical basic Peripheral Nerve Block ("PNB") set / kit includes the following components. The primary components of any PNB set or kit are: - Catheter with stylet . - Anesthesia Conduction ("AC") Needle ● - SnapLock™ . ・ ### Indications for Use: Continuous nerve block kit and set permits placement of catheters next to nerves and nerve plexuses for continuous nerve block anesthesia or analgesia techniques for periods not exceeding 72 hours. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### 510(k) Summary Page 2 of 6 07-May-2012 ### Patient Population: Patients requiring peripheral nerve block procedures including upper extremity, lower extremity, abdominal and paravertebral locations. ### Environment of Use: The environment of use is - hospital, sub-acute facilities, pain clinics, physician offices ### Contraindications: Pre-existing nerve injury, neuritis or plexitis are contraindications for use of continuous nerve or plexus blocks. These conditions should be considered prior to needle or catheter insertion. Skin sepsis in the area where the catheter placement is planned and systemic sepsis are relative contraindications. Extreme care should be taken in patients with bleeding tendencies or patients receiving anticoagulants. ### Discussion of Substantial Equivalence The use of the Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block catheter kit and set for non-stimulating procedures is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate device because: ### Indications - The proposed indications for use permits placement of catheters next to nerves and nerve plexuses for continuous nerve block anesthesia or analgesia techniques for periods not exceeding 72 hours are identical to predicate - K030937 - StimuCath™. The use of the proposed PNB catheter for non-stimulating procedures is not new and the use of ultrasound to assist the clinician in catheter tip location and guidance is a common practice. The clinician may use the predicate device StimuCath™ as a non-stimulating catheter simply by not connecting it to a stimulator. The clarification for non-stimulating use by the clinician does not change the cleared indications for use and does not introduce any new safety or efficacy concerns as compared to the predicates. ### Technology - The components of the proposed device are identical to the predicates. ### Materials - The materials are identical to the predicates.
