Indications for Use
Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes is used to perform localized stimulation of neural tissue and to locate, identify and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots during surgery. Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes are sterile (EtO), single-patient-use device.
Device Story
Disposable nerve stimulator probes deliver electrical stimulation to tissue during intraoperative neurological monitoring. Probes feature plastic handles, stainless steel (SST 304) active electrode shafts insulated with PTFE, and DIN 42802 touch-proof safety connectors. Configurations include monopolar, bipolar, concentric, and hook (double/triple) designs. Surgeons use probes to locate, identify, and monitor motor nerves and spinal nerve roots; bipolar probes may also record nerve action potentials. Probes are used in surgical settings; the shaft may be bent for microscopic access. Output is electrical stimulation current. Benefits include improved nerve identification and functional assessment during surgery, reducing risk of nerve damage.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical and electrical performance testing verified design specifications and confirmed substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Insulated stainless steel (SST 304) probe shaft; PTFE insulation; medical grade ABS handle; tin-plated copper lead wire with medical grade PVC insulation; DIN 42802 touch-proof connector. Configurations: monopolar, bipolar, concentric, tripolar. Sterilization: EtO. Single-patient use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for localized stimulation of neural tissue to locate, identify, and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves, and spinal nerve roots during surgery. For use in patients undergoing surgical procedures requiring nerve monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A surgical nerve stimulator/locator is a device that is intended to provide electrical stimulation to the body to locate and identify nerves and to test their excitability.
Predicate Devices

#### 4. Devices Description
Stimulator probes are used as the medium to deliver electrical stimulation to tissue during intraoperative neurological monitoring. The probes are available in three electrical
.
{1}------------------------------------------------
configurations such as monopolar, bipolar and concentric forms according to the required application. The probes are supplied sterile and are for single use only.
The probes are connected to an electrical stimulator using a flexible lead wire(s) and a "touch-proof' safety connector(s) on the distal end.
Stimulator probes are used by the surgeon to locate and identify motor nerves and spinal nerve roots and to assess nerve function. Bipolar probes may also be used to record nerve action potentials directly from the nerve.
The probes are designed with a plastic handle and stainless steel active electrode shaft insulated to the tip. The probe shaft may be bent to allow viewing access under a microscope.
Concentric Probes is designed with an outer anode pole and center cathode pole separated by insulation. Tip diameter approx 1mm.
Monopolar electrodes require a separate stimulator return electrode and the Monopolar probe is insulated to the tip with only a stimulating "ball" or "tip" exposed.
Bipolar probe has a fully insulated probe shaft with two 1 mm exposed flush tips. The anode and cathode tips can spread up to 3 mm apart and will penetrate tissue for stimulation current to flow.
#### 5. Indications for Use
Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes is used to perform localized stimulation of neural tissue and to locate, identify and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots during surgery.
Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes are sterile (EtO), single-patient-use device.
#### હ. Technological characteristics
Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes consist of an insulated probe shaft of various lengths mounted to plastic handle. The probe shaft is electrically connected to a DIN 42802"touch-proof' safety connector on the other end. The probe is supplied in a sterile pouch. Materials used are the same as in the predicate devices.
Xian Friendship Disposable Nerve Stimulator Probes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regard to the design, construction, material, mechanical and electrical performance and application. More detail information on the Table 1.
