Intended Use

The Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor is intended for locating and identifying cranial and peripheral motor and mixed motor-sensory nerves during surgery, including spinal nerve roots.

Device Story

Neurosign V4 is a multi-channel intraoperative nerve monitor (IONM) used in ENT and neurosurgery. It collects EMG signals from muscles via needle or surface electrodes connected to a 4-channel or 8-channel pre-amplifier. The device detects muscle contractions resulting from mechanical manipulation or electrical stimulation of nerves. It amplifies these signals, providing audible feedback and visual waveform displays on a 15-inch color touchscreen. A stimulator pod allows surgeons to map and locate nerves during procedures. A mute sensor can silence audio during electrocautery interference. Operated by clinical staff in surgical environments, the device assists in nerve identification and preservation, potentially reducing the risk of iatrogenic nerve injury. The system includes hardware, software, and accessories.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), alarm systems (IEC 60601-1-8), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, -5, -10). Usability/human factors testing (AAMI/ANSI HE75, IEC 62366-1) confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the 8-channel configuration. No clinical data was required or provided.

Technological Characteristics

Integrated system with 15-inch color touchscreen, rotary controls, and 4 or 8-channel pre-amplifier. Stimulator supports constant current (10µA–10mA) or constant voltage (10mV–10V) modes. Connectivity via electrode inputs. Compliant with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-1-8. Biocompatible materials per ISO 10993.

Indications for Use

The subject device differs from its primary predicate due to the introduction of improved Pre-amplifier and Stimulator pod cables, as well the addition of an 8-channel Pre-amplifier variant. {5}------------------------------------------------ Using needle or surface electrodes 1 connected to the Pre-amplifier, the nerve monitor detects electromyographic (EMG) signals within muscles caused by the contraction of the muscle due to mechanical manipulation or electrical stimulation of the nerve controlling it. The Neurosign® V4 then amplifies the EMG data into an audible signal and displays the data as a waveform on the active monitoring screen. The Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor is used for patient treatment by prescription only under the supervision of a licensed physician. The Neurosign® V4 is an integrated system consisting of a combination of hardware, software, and accessories. Its technological characteristics are described in further detail below. ## Intended Use The Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor is intended for locating and identifying cranial and peripheral motor and mixed motor-sensory nerves during surgery, including spinal nerve roots. ## Technological Characteristics The Neurosign® V4 is comprised of following components: - 1. Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor - 2. Neurosign® V4 Pre-amplifier: - a. Neurosign® V4 Pre-amplifier 4-Channel - b. Neurosign® V4 Pre-amplifier 8-Channel - 3. Neurosign® V4 Stimulator Pod - 4. Neurosign® V4 Mute Sensor The Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (IONM) includes a user interface comprised of an audio output, a color graphics display with a touch screen and dedicated rotary controls for frequently adjusted parameters. EMG signals are collected from the patient using needle and surface electrodes [1] connected to the Neurosian® V4 Pre-amplifier. The pre-amplifier is available in a 4-channel or 8-channel variant, allowing the user to monitor up to eight separate neural pathways depending on the pre-amplifier used. The Neurosign® V4 Pre-amplifier collects, processes and transmits the EMG signals to the IONM for display and for an audio output. The Neurosign® V4 Stimulator Pod allows the simultaneous connection of two stimulating probes for the mapping and locating of nerves within tissue, and to test the nerve activity at various stages during surgery. Software documentation for a "major" level of concern has been provided. 1 Single use electrodes and probes not subject to this submission 2 Single use electrodes and probes not subject to this submission {6}------------------------------------------------ # Non-Clinical Testing Table 1: Summary of Non-Clinical Testing | Test | Method | Results/ Comment | |----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Electrical Safety Mechanical Safety | ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012- Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance; FDA Recognition Number: 19-4 | A sample Neurosign® V4 (4-Channel and 8-Channel Variants) has been tested and found to be compliant to the requirements of IEC 60601-1 by independent test laboratory Element Materials Technology, to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the system following incorporation of new/different characteristics as compared to the predicate device.

In accordance with ISO14971, risks associated with the Neurosign® V4 have been identified, assessed and, where necessary, mitigated with risk control measures to an acceptable level. # Substantial Equivalence Discussion The Neurosign® V4 (subject of this submission) is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device, the Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (K181559) and the secondary predicate device, the Neurosign® Nerve Monitor Model Neurosign® 400 and Model Neurosign® 800® (K053141). The intended use and indications for use are identical between the Neurosign® V4 (subject of this submission) and the primary predicate device, the Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (K181559). All devices have the same four principal components: - (1) Intraoperative Nerve Monitor, - (2) Pre-amplifier, - (3) Stimulator and - (4) Mute Sensor. The notable difference between the subject device Neurosign® V4 and that which was cleared earlier in K181559 includes the redesign of the Pre-amplifier and Stimulator pod {8}------------------------------------------------ cables to improve reliability and malleability during use, as well the addition of an 8-channel Pre-amplifier variant, enabling the user to monitor up to eight separate neural pathways at risk during surgery. The Neurosign® V4 8-Channel Pre-amplifier is substantially equivalent to the Neurosign® V4 4-Channel Pre-amplifier previously cleared under K181559, with the addition of 4 additional electrode channels. Furthermore, the addition of an 8-channel Pre-amplifier is supported by the clearance of the secondary predicate device (K053141), as the secondary predicate includes the option to monitor up to eight separate neural pathways at risk during surgery. The Principles of Operation are identical to the primary predicate device, the Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (K181559). Both the subject device and the predicate device systems are all systems that are intended for use in collecting, processing and representing EMG signals from nerves at of choice during surgery. Both the subject and predicate devices use a stimulator for the mapping and locating of nerves within tissue and testing the nerve activity at various stages during surgery. All offer the option to use a mute sensor to silence the audio output during episodes of RF interference from electrocautery. A summary of the similarities and minor differences between the Neurosign® V4, the previous Neurosign® V4 (primary predicate device) and the Neurosign® Nerve Monitor Model Neurosign® 400 and Model Neurosign® 800 (Secondary Predicate Device) are described in Table 2. ### Conclusions In summary, the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent based on their identical intended use and similar technological characteristics, which have been tested according to the applicable non-clinical performance testing. Non-clinical test data demonstrates that the Neurosign® V4 is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Thus, the Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device, the Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (K181559), and the secondary predicate device, the Neurosign® Nerve Monitor, Model Neurosign® 400. {9}------------------------------------------------ # Table 2: Substantial Equivalence Summary | Criteria of Comparison | K203684 Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (Subject of this submission) | K181559 Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor (Primary Predicate Device) | K053141 Neurosign® Nerve Monitor, Model Neurosign® 400 and Model Neurosign® 800® (Secondary Predicate Device) | |----------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Manufacturer | Magstim Company Limited | Magstim Company Limited | Magstim Company Limited | | Device Name | Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor | Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor | Neurosign® Nerve Monitor, Model Neurosign® 400 | | Product code(s) & regulation | PDQ 21 CFR 874.1820 | PDQ, ETN 21 CFR 874.1820 | ETN 21 CFR 874.1820 | | Intended Use/ Indications for Use | The Neurosign® V4 Intraoperative Nerve Monitor is intended for locating and identifying cranial and peripheral motor and mixed motor-sensory nerves during surgery, including spinal nerve roots.
