Device Facts

• Record ID: K990793
• Device Name: ACCUGUIDE MUSCLE INJECTION MONITOR
• Applicant: Medtronic Xomed
• Product Code: GXZ · Neurology
• Decision Date: Oct 22, 1999
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 882.1350
• Device Class: Class 2

Intended Use

The subject monitor detects bioelectrical signals from muscles for the purpose of guiding injections into the muscles identified. Although the monitor is indicated for guidance of any muscle-specific injection, it is typically used for injections into muscles of the head and neck. This includes botulinum toxin injections of facial and laryngeal muscles.

Device Story

Handheld, battery-operated EMG monitor; uses disposable injector needle electrodes to detect bioelectrical muscle signals; transforms EMG signals into audible response and visible LCD bargraph display. Used by clinicians to locate specific target muscles prior to injection of medication (e.g., botulinum toxin). Presence of EMG response combined with muscle movement confirms needle location; clinician then injects medication via standard syringe. Benefits include simplified muscle localization compared to larger, complex EMG monitors.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld, battery-operated EMG monitor. Includes reusable patient interface cable and disposable injector needle electrodes. Features LCD bargraph display and audio output. Console keys: ON/OFF, Check, Volume Down, Mute. Software interprets key presses. No specific material standards or advanced algorithm architecture specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for guidance of muscle-specific injections, including botulinum toxin injections of facial, laryngeal, and eye muscles.

#### Device Description 5.0

Device Description
The proposed EMG monitoring system is composed of a small, handheld monitor, a reusable patient interface cable and a disposable injector needle electrode. Commercially available surface electrodes, to act as references, may elcotrode. Onlinerally aranabitropoposed system as these are readily available or may not be provided with the proposed keys on the front console -- ON/OFF, at the politic of the of Check, Volume Down, and Mute. The software of the proposed EMG monitoring system interprets console key presses from the user and performs the action associated with that key.

#### 6.0 Intended Use

The subject monitor detects bioelectrical signals from muscles for the purpose of guiding injections into the muscles identified. Although the monitor is indicated for guidance of any muscle-specific injection, it is typically used for injections into muscles of the head and neck. This includes botulinum toxin injections of facial and laryngeal muscles.

#### 7.0 Substantial Equivalence

Currently marketed EMG monitors are used to locate specific target muscles prior to making an injection of a solution or medication, such as botulinum toxin. Typically, the currently marketed monitors are large and contain features that are not necessary for merely locating target muscles. A simple raw EMG monitor is all that is needed.

Allergan, Inc. is currently marketing the BOTOX® Injection Amplifier, a simple EMG monitor specifically intended for guiding muscle specific injections. The 510k for the monitor is believed to be K900098, and the needle electrodes sold with this system are manufactured by TECA Corporation as cleared via K973444. The Xomed EMG monitoring system proposed in this 510k, a nandheld, battery-operated EMG monitor with iniection needle electrodes, is equivalent to the Allergan BOTOX® Injection Amplifier and Allergan / TECA Myoject needle electrodes, respectively.

Both systems use identical injection needle electrodes to pick-up EMG from the target muscle, which is then processed by the EMG monitor. As with other commercially available EMG monitors (e.g. Xomed's NIM monitors), both the proposed AccuGuide and predicate Allergan system transform the EMG signal into an audible response. In the case of the proposed AccuGuide monitor, the EMG signal is also transformed into a visible response via an LCD bargraph display. The presence of an appropriate EMG response, in conjunction with a specific muscle movement, confirms the location of the injection needle. Once confirmed, the solution or medication is injected through the injection needle electrode using a standard disposable syringe (not provided with this system).

Dear Mr. Timlin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
