No
The device description explicitly states that the software "does not perform any data analysis," and there are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, nor descriptions of training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.
No
The device is intended to measure and record electrical activity, not to treat or provide therapy.
Yes
The device measures and records the brain's electrical activity, which is then displayed for interpretation. While the software itself does not perform data analysis, the output (EEG recordings) is used by a healthcare professional to diagnose neurological conditions. The function of recording electrical activity to inform a diagnosis categorizes it as a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as scalp conductive electrodes, amplifiers, a central processing unit, an articulated arm, rack system, cables, and standard computer components, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Geodesic EEG System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "measure and record the electrical activity of the patient's brain." This is a direct measurement of physiological activity within the body (in vivo), not an analysis of samples taken from the body (in vitro).
- Device Description: The components described (electrodes, amplifiers, software for data acquisition and display) are consistent with devices used for measuring electrical signals directly from the body. There is no mention of reagents, test strips, or analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices typically involve analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a patient's health status. The Geodesic EEG System does not perform this type of analysis.
Therefore, the Geodesic EEG System is a device used for in vivo physiological measurement, specifically electroencephalography (EEG).

Device Description
The Geodesic EEG System is a digital electroencephalography system (EEG) with a dense sensor array of 32 to 256 channels. Like existing digital EEG systems, the Geodesic EEG System is computer controlled and capable of acquiring, storing, and displaying data. It includes scalp conductive electrodes, amplifiers, a central processing unit, and software. The Geodesic Sensor Net is a dense array of scalp electrodes designed to allow rapid application in an even distribution across the head. The Net Amps " consists of multiple amplifiers for physiological signals that are fully software controlled. Net Station® is the software package that provides control of the Geodesic EEG System, digital data storage, and operator-selected waveform displays. The software does not perform any data analysis. Additional components of the system are an articulated arm with extended cable, rack system, various cables, standard components of personal computer (monitor, keyboard, mouse), electrolyte solution, and disinfectant.

Legally marketed device for substantial equivalence comparison:
For the Geodesic EEG System it is the Bio-Logic Ceegraph 128-Channel Recording System submitted by Bio-Logic Systems Corporation and cleared for marketing under 510(k) *K973883. For the Geodesic Sensor Net, the predicate device is the Electro-Cap VII System submitted by Electro-Cap Inc. and cleared for marketing under 510(k) *K780045.
Description of the device:
The Geodesic EEG System is a digital electroencephalography system (EEG) with a dense sensor array of 32 to 256 channels.

Intended use of device:
The Geodesic EEG System is intended to measure and record the electrical activity in of the patient's brain. It can be used on adults, children, and infants.
Technological characteristics:
The technological characteristics of the Geodesic EEG System are similar to those of other digital EEG systems, including the predicate device, the Ceegraph 128-Channel Recording System. Each product is an EEG machine that is software controlled, can accommodate a variable number of electrodes, and can acquire, display, and record EEG data. Some differences in electrical parameters are described. Differences in the software include that the products use different operating systems and that Net Station does not analyze the data. Another difference is that the Geodesic EEG System has dedicated electrodes, the Geodesic Sensor Net.
The Geodesic Sensor Net is compared to the Electro-Cap VII System. Each product consists of a structure that links a number of electrodes so that they can be easily applied to the patient. The Geodesic Sensor Net uses a geodesic array of electrodes with equal distribution across the head. The Electro-Cap uses the 10-20 array. The Geodesic Sensor Net can accommodate a larger number of electrodes. Finally, the Geodesic Sensor Net does not require scalp abrasion for use.
Testing conducted:
Testing was conducted to ensure compliance with international standards related to electroencephalographs. The general safety standards used were: CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 601.1-M90 including Supplement 1 and Amendment 2 and UL Std. No. 2601-1 (2nd Edition). The electromagnetic compatibility standard was EN60601-1-2(1993). The electroencephalograph standards were IEC 60601-2-26 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 601.2.26. The biocompatibility standard was ISO 10993. The Geodesic EEG System passed all testing.
