No
The summary describes a physical device (a cap) used for electrode placement, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.
No
The device aids in electrode placement for EEG, which records brain activity, but it does not directly treat a medical condition.
No
The device supports the placement of electrodes for EEG, which is a diagnostic tool, but the BraiNet itself does not perform any diagnostic function. It is a support device.
No
The device description explicitly states the BraiNet is made from physical materials (elastic and Velcro) and is a disposable, single-patient use device placed on the scalp, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Nicolet BraiNet Function: The Nicolet BraiNet is a device placed on the scalp to facilitate the placement of EEG electrodes. It is a physical support structure used externally on the body.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The description clearly states the BraiNet is used to support electrode placement for recording electrical activity from the brain (EEG). It does not involve the analysis of any biological samples taken from the patient.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Nicolet BraiNet is an external medical device used for supporting electrode placement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
