#### 5.3 Equivalence Claimed to Predicate Device
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is equivalent to the TOF-WATCH SX (K992598), manufactured by ORGANON TEKNIKA CORP..
#### 5.4 Device Description
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is capable to monitor the level of neuromuscular transmission (NMT) during surgery of in the intensive care unit by stimulating different nerves and measuring the response of the respective muscles to the stimulation. The different locations for monitoring are for instance the ulnar nerve/adductor pollicis muscle, the posterior tibial nerve/flexor halluces brevis muscle and the facial nerve/orbicularis oculi muscle.
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D uses acceleromyography (AMG) measurement for recording of evoked muscle responses. The results are shown on the LCD display of the device and shall aid qualified medical staff to maintain the proper level of neuromuscular block and to determine the level of recovery from neuromuscular block.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image is a logo with a blue border. Inside the border is a drawing of a human figure in the style of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. The figure is surrounded by a circle and a square. Above the figure, the text "HOMINUM SALUTI MEDICINAM EXERCENS" is written in a circular pattern. Below the figure, the letters "MIPM" are written in blue.
#### ર.ર Indications for Use
The TOF3D is used to objectively monitor the level of neuromuscular transmission by measuring muscle contraction following stimulation. The TOF3D can also be used as a peripheral nerve stimulator (without the objective measuring function) for subjective monitoring. The device is intended for use for adolescents greater than 18 through 21 years of age, and adults.
#### 5.6 Substantial Equivalence Discussion
| Features | TOF3D<br>(subject device) | TOF-WATCH SX<br>(predicate device) |
|-----------------------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| Stimulation patterns | | |
| TOF | Yes | Yes |
| PTC | Yes | Yes |
| 1 Hz | Yes | Yes |
| 0.1 Hz | Yes | Yes |
| DBS | Yes | Yes |
| TET | Yes | Yes |
| Nerve location | No | Yes |
| Maximum simulation voltage | 300V (60mA, 5kΩ) | 300V (60mA, 5kΩ) |
| Stimulation current range constant<br>current | 0 - 60 mA | 0 - 60 mA |
| Stimulation pulse width | Monophasic, 200 μs or 300 μs | Monophasic, 200 μs or 300 μs |
| Surface temperature sensor | Yes | Yes |
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D shares the same indications for use, device operation, overall technical and functional capabilities with its predicate device TOF-WATCH SX (K992598). Both devices rely on the use of acceleromyograph to measure muscle response to electrical stimulation to objectively monitor the level of neuromuscular transmission. The additional functionality of the TOF-WATCH SX (nerve location device - localize nerves for loco-regional anesthesia) is based on the same technical principle used for the nerve stimulation functionality, therefore additional risks in clinical application are not to be expected.
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is substantially equivalent to the predicate device TOF-WATCH SX (K992598).
#### 5.7 Performance Data
### Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D complies with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 60601-2-10 standards for safety and performance and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC-
### Software Verification and Validation Testing
The software for this device was considered as a "moderate2 level of concern. Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
### Biocompatibility testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". Based on the results of the biocompatibility evaluation, it can be concluded that the virological safety risks of the TOF3D sensors with accessories are acceptable for use as medical device surface skin contact pars.
### Animal and Clinical Studies
No animal or clinical testing was required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of this device to its predicate.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image is a logo for an organization called MIPM. The logo features a stylized drawing of a human figure inside of a square. The human figure is in the style of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. The text around the figure reads "HOMINUM SALUTI MEDICINAM EXERCENS".
#### Conclusion 5.8
The subject device has the same indications for use, technological characteristics, and design and operating principles as the predicate device. The identified differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance of the device is supported by non-clinical testing and risk management activities. The Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor TOF3D is substantially equivalent to the TOF-WATCH SX, cleared under K992598.
