No
The description mentions automatic detection of latency and amplitude, but this is a standard signal processing function and not indicative of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor any description of training or test data sets.
No.
The device is used for diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral neuropathies by measuring nerve response latency and amplitude, which falls under diagnostic rather than therapeutic use.
Yes
The device is intended for use in the "diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral neuropathies" and generates "latency value" and allows for examination of "features of the waveform generated by the stimuli" to help the physician "determine the action potential latency, amplitude configuration and duration," all of which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "battery powered (4 AA batteries) hand held device" consisting of a "handheld processor with LCD screen and a stimulator," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software.
Based on the provided information, the BREVIO device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The BREVIO directly measures nerve responses in vivo (within the living body) by applying electrical stimuli and recording the resulting electrical signals from the nerves. It does not analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The intended use and device description clearly indicate direct interaction with the patient's peripheral nerves. The device is used to perform nerve conduction testing on the patient's body.
Therefore, the BREVIO falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement and diagnosis, but not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BREVIO is intended for use for the measurement of nerve response latency and amplitude in the diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral neuropathies.
The BREVIO is intended to be used as a waveform display nerve conduction monitor. It displays the latency value derived from an action potential. The display shows the latency value in milliseconds from the trigger to the onset. The internal circuitry has the complete waveform from which the latency value is derived and this is delivered to the digital storage oscilloscope for compete waveform display.
The latency value is important in the diagnosis of median nerve dysfunction. The physician can use the BREVIO to examine the features of the waveform generated by the stimuli. The physician can determine the action potential latency, amplitude configuration and duration.

Device Description
The BREVIO is a battery powered (4 AA batteries) hand held device that is utilized to perform motor and sensory nerve conduction testing on peripheral nerves in a clinical setting. It consists primarily of two units, a handheld processor with LCD screen and a stimulator. It may also be coupled with a number of HP inkjet printers to print patient information and results.
The BREVIO automatically picks out the latency and amplitude of waveforms presented to determine the values associated with them. The automatically chosen values may be manually adjusted by the user should the user feel the necessity to manually make such a change.
The BREVIO has memory storage of 28 waveforms for later viewing and printing of the test results.

latency and amplitude in the diagnosis and monitoring of peripheral neuropathies.
Indication for use:
The BREVIO is intended to be used as a waveform display nerve conduction monitor. It displays the latency value derived from an action potential. The display shows the latency value in milliseconds from the potontial. The onset. The internal circuitry has the complete waveform from which the latency value is derived and this is delivered to the digital storage oscilloscope for compete waveform display.
The latency value is important in the diagnosis of median nerve dysfunction. The physician can use the BREVIO to examine the features of the waveform generated by the stimuli. The physician can determine the action potential latency, amplitude configuration and duration.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY D.
The BREVIO is a medical device that has the same indication, intended use and target population as the legally marketed predicate devices.
The BREVIO has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices.
The BREVIO has incorporated a change in the software that allows the device to automatically pick out the latency and amplitude of waveforms presented to determine the values associated with them. These automatically chosen values may be manually adjusted by the user should the user feel the necessity to manually make such a change or adjustment based upon the user's experience or analysis. In addition the BREVIO has incorporated the mechanical features of both the NERVEPACE® ViewScope™ (200 VS) and Digital Electroneurometer S-100 into a single device.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS E.
The BREVIO operates utilizing four AA Alkaline batteries with an output of 9V. It has a graphical LCD display format of 128 x 112 pixels displaying motor and sensory nerve responses.
The BREVIO is capable of detecting motor response signals down to 100 microvolts covering motor and F wave responses. Sensory signal

responses can be detected to 5 microvolts. Latency detection capability covers the time range from 0 to 45 milliseconds. Amplitudes of signal responses can be detected in the range of 5 to 10,000 microvolts. Once the waveform is recorded the system will determine in the case of motor responses the onset latency value and baseline peak amplitude. For sensory responses, the peak latency value and baseline to peak amplitude value will be reported. These values will appear on the screen display and in the printed report.
The memory of the device is capable of storing up to 28 waveform responses.
The maximum stimulator output is 300 volts, pulse width 250 microseconds.
F. TESTING
Bench testing has been done with this device demonstrating that it meets design controls.
Comparative human testing was done demonstrating a high correlation between the BREVIO device and a predicate device for latency and amplitude comparison.
G. CONCLUSIONS
Design specifications, comparison to predicate device specifications and testing has demonstrated that this BREVIO device meets design requirements and is equivalent to the predicate devices.
