## Indications for Use

Recording muscle activity for Electromyography (EMG) applications. For single patient use only. The disposable hypodermic needle is inteded to be used for iniection of the Botulinum Toxin into a muscle. while recording electromyography activity. The electrode has an open lumen and is designed for muscle stimulation, motor unit action, potential recording and Botulinum Toxin injection.

## Device Story

Disposable EMG needle electrodes (monopolar or bipolar) inserted into muscle or nerve tissue; senses bioelectrical signals for electromyography. Certain models feature open lumen for simultaneous Botulinum Toxin injection and EMG recording. Used by clinicians in diagnostic settings to record intrinsic electrical properties of skeletal muscle and facilitate targeted drug delivery. Output consists of raw bioelectrical signals displayed on external EMG equipment; assists clinicians in diagnosing neuromuscular conditions and guiding therapeutic injections. Benefits include precise muscle localization for treatment and diagnostic monitoring.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Monopolar or bipolar needle electrodes; some models include open lumen for injection. Single-patient use. Materials and design are consistent with standard diagnostic EMG needle electrodes.

## Regulatory Identification

A diagnostic electromyograph needle electrode is a monopolar or bipolar needle intended to be inserted into muscle or nerve tissue to sense bioelectrical signals. The device is intended for medical purposes for use in connection with electromyography (recording the intrinsic electrical properties of skeletal muscle).

## DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

A diagnostic electromyography needle electrode is a monopolar or bipolar needle intended to be inserted into muscle or nerve tissue to sense bioelectrical signals. The device is intended for medical purposes for use in connection with electromyography (recording the intrinsic electrical properties of skeletal muscle). The needle electrodes are for single patient only.

#### INTENDED USE

Recording muscle activity for Electromyography (EMG) applications. For single patient use only.

The disposable hypodermic needle is inteded to be used for injection of the Botulinum Toxin into a muscle, while recording electromyography activity. The electrode has an open lumen and is designed for muscle stimulation, motor unit action, potential recording and Botulinum Toxin injection.

Spes Medica does not supply any drugs with the needle electrodes nor does Spes Medica offer for sale any form of drugs.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Disposable EMG Needle Electrodes and the predicate devices are similar in design, materials, packaging and other technological characteristics to the predicate devices. In further support of a substantial equivalence determination, Section 6 provides a comparison chart of the Disposable EMG Needle Electrodes and the predicate devices.

Based on the available 510(k) summaries, the marketing literature and the information provided herein, we conclude that the Disposable EMG Needle Electrodes are substantially equivalent to the existing legally marketed devices under Federal Food. Drug and Cosmetic Act
