Intended Use
The Stimuplex® Onvision® system is intended for clinically trained physicians to perform regional anesthesia and pain therapy to target peripheral nerves by tracking the B.Braun Stimuplex® Onvision® needle tip position by overlaying a circle at the given location using the Philips Xperius® Ultrasound and Onvision® System. The B.Braun Stimuplex® Onvision® needle is used to inject local anesthesia or analgesic to the targeted nerve bundle to induce regional anesthesia for surgical procedures. The Stimuplex® HNS 12 can also be used for nerve stimulation when connected to the system cable.
Device Story
Stimuplex Onvision system is an add-on to Philips Xperius ultrasound system for peripheral nerve block (PNB) procedures. System components: sterile single-use B. Braun Stimuplex Onvision needle, reusable hardware with battery, needle tip tracking software, and system cable. Principle: passive sensor in needle receives acoustic energy from ultrasound probe; software calculates needle tip position and overlays a circle on live ultrasound image. Used in hospitals, surgery centers, and clinics by anesthesiologists. Provides real-time visual guidance for needle placement to inject local anesthesia/analgesic into nerve bundles. Compatible with Stimuplex HNS 12 nerve stimulator for electrical nerve stimulation. Benefits include improved needle tip visualization during PNB, potentially increasing accuracy and safety of nerve targeting.

## PREDICATE DEVICES:

- Additional predicate devices: ●
- PercuNav Image Fusion and Interventional Navigation (K170716) o
- B.Braun Stimuplex® D Plus Insulated Echogenic Needle(K100241) o
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Stimuplex® Onvision® system is an add-on device to the Philips Xperius ultrasound system (K182529) that is intended to be used during peripheral nerve block (PNB) procedures. The proposed Stimuplex® Onvision® system consists of:
{4}------------------------------------------------
- Onvision® dedicated single-use Stimuplex® • a sterile, needle(manufactured by B. Braun)
- Onvision system (manufactured by Philips) which contains: ●
- o a non-sterile reusable hardware with battery,
- o needle tip tracking software
- o and a system cable.
The Stimuplex Onvision system is also compatible with the Stimuplex HNS 12 nerve stimulator( K070134).
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The Stimuplex® Onvision® System is intended for clinically trained physicians to perform reqional anesthesia and pain therapy to target peripheral nerves by tracking the B.Braun Stimuplex® Onvision® needle tip position by overlaving a circle at the given location using the Philips Xperius® Ultrasound and Onvision® System. The B.Braun Stimuplex® Onvision® needle is used to inject local anesthesia or analgesic to the targeted nerve bundle to induce regional anesthesia for surgical procedures. The Stimuplex® HNS 12 can also be used for nerve stimulation when connected to the system cable.
#### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The Stimuplex® Onvision® system has the same intended use as the primary predicate device of SonixGPS Nerve Block Needle kit (K121812), and an additional predicate device of Stimuplex D Plus Insulated Echogenic Needle(K100241). It also has the same intended use as another additional predicate device of PercuNav Image Fusion and Interventional Navigation (K170716) for the purpose of use during PNB procedures (nerve block and pain management). The predicate device of PercuNav has wider scope of intended use in other procedures.
Both proposed device and primary predicate device of SonixGPS needle kit:
- contain a needle to inject a single dose of anesthetic or analgesic for the ● purpose of regional anesthesia and pain management during PNB procedures
- contain a tracking technology to calculate the position of needle tip and . display the position on live ultrasound image
For the tracking technology, the proposed device and the primary predicate device and an additional predicate device of PercuNav:
- use of an external energy field [ultrasound (acoustic) vs electromagnetic] ● for tracking
- use the ultrasound transducer for image processing
- overlay/fuse image of tracked instrument / needle with live ultrasound ● image
- calculate location of the tracked instrument / needle in 3D and ● visualization in 2D ultrasound image
{5}------------------------------------------------
- use real-time visualization of Ultrasound during interventional procedure ●
The proposed Stimuplex Onvision needle has fundamentally the same materials of composition as the additional predicate device of Stimuplex D Plus needle. and both the proposed and predicate devices are covered and insulated needles.
There is technological difference between the proposed and predicate devices. Stimuplex® Onvision® system uses ultrasound (acoustic) low energy field while SonixGPS needle and PercuNav employs electromagnetic energy field for tracking the needle. They are all using an external low energy field. The proposed Stimuplex® Onvision® System, SonixGPS needle and PercuNav calculate the positional information of tracked instrument/needle by utilizing the signal converted from external energy field, and overlay/fuse the image of tracked instrument/needle with ultrasound image.
The technological difference does not raise any new questions regarding safety and effectiveness, with the assessment performed in multiple aspects, including electrical safety, EMC evaluation, thermal effect etc.
Based on the information provided above, the Stimuplex Onvision system is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, SonixGPS Nerve Block Needle Kit, PercuNav and Stimuplex D Plus needle, from a technical characteristics perspective.

Non-clinical validation testing has been performed to validate that the proposed Stimuplex® Onvision® system conforms its intended use and user needs. The
{9}------------------------------------------------
validation was performed with the following testing:
- Bench-top testing was performed in an artificial media to validate user need specification associated with system function and system performance such as:
- Needle tip position O
- o Connectivity
- Power indicator o
- Battery O
- Boot-up time O
- System cable clip O
- Operational O
- o Self-test
- o Needle tip not shown
- Preclinical testing on human cadaver was performed with physician ● (anesthesiologist) in a simulated clinical environment. The participants executed the test in the form of a system workflow to validate the intended use, user needs, and effectiveness of the safety related measure. As part of the validation, the implemented software was evaluated as part of the workflow. Results demonstrated all tests were passed.
- Usability evaluation in accordance with IEC 62366-1 was performed ● with anesthesiologist in a simulated use environment. Results from the usability evaluation demonstrated the proposed Stimuplex Onvision system is safe and effective for the intended use, users and use environment.
## CONCLUSION:
The proposed Stimuplex Onvision system is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, in terms of intended use, technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness.
Substantial equivalence was demonstrated by non-clinical performance tests provided in this 510(k) premarket notification. Results of the functional and performance testing conducted on the proposed device demonstrate that the Stimuplex® Onvision® system complies with user need requirements as well as the requirements specified in the international and FDA-recognized consensus standards, and meets the acceptance criteria and is adequate for its intended use. It is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness. The differences, between proposed device and predicate device, do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, proposed Stimuplex® Onvision® system is as safe and effective as predicate devices and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
