Intended Use
The Nic36 Amplifier is intended to be used by or under the direction of a physician for acquisition of EEG, polygraphy and polysomnography signals and transmission of these signals to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations.
Device Description
The Nic36 Amplifer is a fully programmable system which provides a total of 36 analog input channels each of which can be configured as monopolar or bipolar. The bioelectric signals are amplified and converted to digital form (analog to digital conversion). The amplifier receives its power from a dedicated AC/DC adapter which feeds a +15VDC. Internally, the +15VDC is further isolated by a dedicated DC/DC CF type converter. The Nic36 Amplifier is intended to be used to amplify and filter bioelectric signals captured via a lead or transdaor on the surface of the human body. It captures the data, converts it into a digital format and transmits it on to a host computer running appropriate software. Typical fields of application will be: Electroencephalograph (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), Electromyography (EMG), Polysomnography (Sleep Analysis) and General Polygraphy. The Nic36 Amplifier does not contain a Pulse Oximeter module. The host computer must use one of the following Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows XP. The Nic36 Amplifier system consists of three interconnected units: the amplifier box, the PCMCIA or BE Net interface and the AC/DC adapter; optionally the system may be completed by a led visual stimulator.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on signal acquisition, amplification, conversion, and transmission. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis or interpretation of the signals.

No
The device is described as an amplifier for acquiring and transmitting neurophysiology signals (EEG, polygraphy, polysomnography) for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a condition.

Yes.
The device's intended use clearly states it is for the "acquisition of EEG, polygraphy and polysomnography signals" for "neurophysiology examinations," which are diagnostic procedures. It amplifies and converts bioelectric signals into digital form for analysis, which is a key function of diagnostic devices.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components like an amplifier box, PCMCIA or BE Net interface, and an AC/DC adapter, indicating it is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Nic36 Amplifier is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "acquisition of EEG, polygraphy and polysomnography signals and transmission of these signals to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations." This involves capturing bioelectric signals directly from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it amplifies and filters "bioelectric signals captured via a lead or transdaor on the surface of the human body."
  • Definition of IVD: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The Nic36 Amplifier is designed to interact directly with the patient's body to acquire signals, which is characteristic of a medical device used for physiological monitoring and diagnosis, but not an IVD.

Device Description

The Nic36 Amplifer is a fully programmable system which provides a total of 36 analog input channels, each of which can be configured to perform bio-amplification and analog to digital conversion. The amplifier receives its power from a dedicated AC/DC adapter which feeds a +15VDC. Internally, the +15VDC is further isolated by a dedicated DC/DC CF type converter.

The Nic36 Amplifier is intended to be used to amplify and filter bioelectric signals captured via a lead or transducer on the surface of the human body. It captures the data, converts it into a digital format, and transmits it to a host computer running appropriate software. Typical fields of application will be: Electroencephalograph (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), Electromyography (EMG), Polysomnography (Sleep Analysis) and General Polygraphy.

The Nic36 Amplifier does not contain a Pulse Oximeter module.

The host computer must use one of the following Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows XP.

The Nic36 Amplifier system consists of three interconnected units: the amplifier box, the fiber optic cable, and the AC/DC adapter; optionally the system may be completed by a led visual stimulator.
