TetraGraph is intended to deliver stimulations to a nerve and record, measure, analyze and report muscle electrical activity to determine muscle function.
Device Story
TetraGraph is a portable, battery- or wall-powered EMG-based neuromuscular transmission monitor used in hospital settings (perioperative, recovery, critical care). It delivers electrical stimulation to a peripheral nerve and records the evoked Muscle Action Potential (MAP) via surface electrodes. The device automatically measures, analyzes, and reports muscle electrical activity to determine the level of neuromuscular blockade. Clinicians use the displayed quantitative values to assess patient relaxation status during procedures requiring neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g., intubation, mechanical ventilation). The device supplements clinical data to aid in managing patient paralysis and recovery. It is operated by healthcare professionals in clinical environments.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical test was performed in support of this premarket notification. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including software verification and validation, cybersecurity mitigation, electrical safety, EMC, and electrode verification testing.
Technological Characteristics
Portable EMG-based monitor. Uses constant current square wave stimulation (200 or 300 μs pulse width). Stimulation current range: 10-80 mA. Components include TetraGraph monitor (SEN 2015) and single-use electrode arrays. Connectivity includes optional TetraHub. Complies with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and IEC 60601-2-40 (nerve stimulators).
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring the relaxation of the patient when neuromuscular blockade has been administered. Applicable to infants (29 days to <2 years), children (2-12 years), adolescents (12-22 years), and adults (22+ years).

Dear Elisa Maldonado-Holmertz:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Predicate Device - K220530 Tetragraph Neuromuscular Transmission Monitor.
## Device Description
The TetraGraph Neuromuscular Transmission (NMT) Monitor is a portable, battery- or wall power operated EMG-based neuromuscular transmission monitor for use in hospital settings including perioperative and in recovery and critical care environments following or during the application of Neuromuscular block. TetraGraph is intended to deliver stimulations to a nerve and record, measure, analyze and report muscle electrical activity to determine muscle function. TetraGraph is a prescription-only medical device.
Neuromuscular Transmission (NMT) is the transfer of an electrical impulse between a motor nerve and its associated muscle. The NMT is blocked by neuromuscular blocking agents ("NMBAs") which cause transient muscle paralysis preventing the patient from moving and breathing spontaneously. NMBAs are commonly used during different clinical procedures, for example, muscle relaxation is used during general anesthesia to enable endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation and to provide optimal surgical conditions. Muscle relaxation may also be used in critical care during mechanical ventilation. In these circumstances, TetraGraph can be used as an objective monitor of neuromuscular transmission.
TetraGraph undertakes this function by electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve and directly measuring the evoked response of the muscles (Muscle Action Potential (MAP)), thus providing a quantitative and automatic measurement of muscle response to a stimulus using electromyography (EMG). The TetraGraph is a prescription-only medical device and is indicated for use in hospitals. TetraGraph supplements the use of clinical information/data obtained from other monitors. The level of neuromuscular block is routinely measured by stimulating a peripheral nerve. The TetraGraph controls the level of electrical stimulation applied to the nerve and monitors the muscle response by the use of Electromyography (EMG) detected by electrodes on the muscle. The measured values that are displayed on TetraGraph provide the clinicians with an indication on the level of neuromuscular blockade in the patients.
