• Applicant: Advanced Neuromodulation Systems
• Product Code: GZB · Neurology
• Decision Date: Mar 25, 2004
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Special
• Regulation: 21 CFR 882.5880
• Device Class: Class 2

Indications for Use

The ANS Neurostimulation system is indicated for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) in the treatment of chronic pain of trunk and limbs, either as the sole mitigating agent, or as an adjunct to other modes of therapy used in a multidisciplinary approach. The Rapid Programmer is intended to assist clinicians in determining the optimum performance while automatically logging procedure data. Rapid Programmer allows the clinician to optimize performance by leading the patient through a series of device parameter combinations and recording the stimulation effects. This system uses a touch screen computer to program the stimulator to the required waveforms and electrode configurations and to log the information derived.

Device Story

Rapid Programmer is a touch-screen computer interface used by clinicians to configure and optimize ANS Neurostimulation systems. It guides clinicians through systematic testing of various stimulation parameter combinations and electrode configurations to identify optimal settings for pain relief. The device records stimulation effects and logs procedure data automatically. Used in clinical settings, it enables physicians to program specific waveforms and electrode settings into the implanted stimulator. By streamlining the parameter optimization process, the device assists in tailoring therapy to individual patient needs, potentially improving clinical outcomes for chronic pain management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence determination based on device description and intended use.

Technological Characteristics

Touch-screen computer interface; software-based parameter programming and data logging; intended for use with implanted spinal cord stimulators.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with chronic pain of the trunk and limbs requiring Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) as a sole therapy or as an adjunct to multidisciplinary treatment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief is a device that is used to stimulate electrically a patient's spinal cord to relieve severe intractable pain. The stimulator consists of an implanted receiver with electrodes that are placed on the patient's spinal cord and an external transmitter for transmitting the stimulating pulses across the patient's skin to the implanted receiver.

Dear Ms. Moza:

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 (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. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Ilsting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination docs not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complics with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-frec number [phone] or [phone] or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
