Intended Use
The disposable hypodermic monopolar needles are FOR SINGLE USE ONLY in electromyography (EMG) in situations wherein it is desired to insert an electrode, into a patient to locate a particular muscle and then inject a medication into that muscle. The hypodermic needle with an open lumen is designed for muscle stimulation, motor unit action potential recording and drug delivery. Once the physician is satisfied with the location, he/she injects a drug therein via the lumen of the needle.
Device Story
Disposable hypodermic monopolar needle electrode; used in electromyography (EMG). Input: electrical signals from muscle tissue (motor unit action potentials); output: electrical stimulation to muscle and delivery of medication via open lumen. Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Device features Luer Lock/Slip hub for syringe attachment; stainless steel 304 needle with PTFE coating; single contact touch-proof DIN 42802 connector. Physician inserts needle to locate muscle, records potentials, stimulates muscle, and injects medication through lumen. Benefits include reduced patient discomfort via improved tip sharpness and secure drug delivery via Luer Lock mechanism.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing included tensile testing, coating thickness, leak testing, tip geometry measurements, penetration testing, and Luer Lock design verification. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (irritation/sensitization), and ISO 10993-11 (systemic toxicity) confirmed compliance.
Technological Characteristics
Monopolar needle electrode; stainless steel 304; PTFE coating (Xylan 8820 G4075); Polypropylene hub (Escorene PP9074 MED); 10-16 degree conical grind angle; single contact touch-proof DIN 42802 connector. Sterilized via gamma irradiation. Dimensions: 0.30-0.71mm diameter; 25-75mm length. Standalone device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring electromyography (EMG) procedures where muscle localization, motor unit action potential recording, muscle stimulation, and subsequent drug delivery into the muscle are necessary.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A diagnostic electromyograph needle electrode is a monopolar or bipolar needle intended to be inserted into muscle or nerve tissue to sense bioelectrical signals. The device is intended for medical purposes for use in connection with electromyography (recording the intrinsic electrical properties of skeletal muscle).
