Intended Use

The Visor System is a bioimpedance spectroscopy device indicated to measure impedance ratios to aid in the assessment of cerebral fluid volume asymmetry between the cerebral hemispheres in adult patients undergoing neurologic assessment.

The Visor System is an adjunct to standard methodologies for clinical evaluation.

Device Description

The Visor System is a bioimpedance spectroscopy device used to monitor patients who have conditions that predispose them to fluid volume changes. The device uses Volumetric Integral Phase-Shift Spectroscopy (VIPS) technology. Changes in the volume of fluids in the human skull can be detected by monitoring changes in electrical properties. VIPS technology measures the frequency response of the phase angle shift between an emitter antenna and a detector antenna, when placed on opposite sides of the head. The device is intended to be used as an aid to clinical assessment in conjunction with current standards of care.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. The document is a 510(k) summary for the Cerebrotech Visor System, detailing its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (CMS-5000) based on modifications to its physical dimensions, user interface software platform, and power source.

The document discusses:

  • Indications for Use: To measure impedance ratios to aid in the assessment of cerebral fluid volume asymmetry between the cerebral hemispheres in adult patients undergoing neurologic assessment, as an adjunct to standard methodologies.
  • Technological Characteristics: Multi-frequency Bioimpedance Spectroscopy using low-power radio frequency current.
  • Comparison to Predicate: The Visor System is essentially the CMS-5000 with a smaller profile due to a change from a MacBook laptop to an Android tablet for the user interface, and a removable rechargeable battery.

It explicitly states, "The Visor System is the same device as the predicate with some modifications. It provides adjunct information about tissue fluid differences derived from bioimpedance ratios and does not replace standard diagnostic techniques, which may include physical examination, medical imaging, and professional judgment. The systems are therefore substantially equivalent."

This means the submission focuses on demonstrating that the modified device (Visor System) is as safe and effective as the previously cleared predicate device (CMS-5000), rather than providing new performance criteria and a study to meet those criteria. The verification of the CerebroScan software in the Android Tablet is mentioned as being provided in the 510(k) submission, but the details of this verification, including specific acceptance criteria, sample size, or study design, are not included in this summary.

Dear Dawnel Scott:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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 does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies 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

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.

8. Safety and Effectiveness information

The Visor System is the same device as the predicate with some modifications. It provides adjunct information about tissue fluid differences derived from bioimpedance ratios and does not replace standard diagnostic techniques, which may include physical examination, medical imaging, and professional judgment. The systems are therefore substantially equivalent.

9. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

The Visor System is the same device as the predicate with some modifications. The devices have the same intended use and the same technological characteristics.

10.Conclusion

The Cerebrotech Visor as modified is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. It shares the same indications for use, design features and functional characteristics and thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
