The AURA-PSG amplifier system is intended for recording routine Electroencephalography (EEG) and Polysomnography (PSG). This device is intended to be used only by physicians, technicians, or other medical professionals that are trained in EEG and/or PSG.
Device Description
AURA-PSG is a compact multi-channel amplifier and data acquisition device Aort F OO is a compoephalography (EEG) and polysomnography (PSG) recording applications. It provides for patient safety isolation, signal conditioning, and data sampling. The AURA-PSG amplifier system consists of two major components: the Amplifier Unit and the Base Station. The Amplifier Unit provides connections for electrodes and sensors and is normally worn by the subject in a vest or pocket. The Amplifier and sonoord and to hernRay istation using either a signal cable (tether) or a wireless connection. Both transmit digitized waveform to the Base Station where it is converted to standard network protocols and made available to supporting computers. AURA-PSG can be used for off-line, ambulatory recording. When used in this fashion, power is supplied by a battery and data is stored in internal memory. When the study is complete, data can be sent to a computer for review. The Base Station provides Menu selections for configuring the unit, communicating with the host computer, and implementing an electrode impedance test. It contains an LCD that can display status and other information. Power is supplied to the AURA-PSG Base Station through a rear connector that attaches to a medical-grade requlated power supply (+12 volts DC). The AURA-PSG Amplifier Unit is 5.5 inches x 3.5 inches by 1.0 inches and the AURA-PSG Base Station is approximately 7" x 6" x 2" inches. The Base Station can be attached to a cart arm, mounted on a wall or flat on a tabletop.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the hardware components (amplifier, base station) and their function in acquiring and transmitting physiological signals (EEG/PSG). There is no mention of software analysis, algorithms, or features that would suggest the use of AI or ML for interpretation, analysis, or decision support.

No
This device is for recording EEG and PSG, which are diagnostic procedures, not therapeutic interventions.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for "recording routine Electroencephalography (EEG) and Polysomnography (PSG)," which are diagnostic procedures used to evaluate neurological and sleep disorders. The output data (EEG and PSG recordings) is used by medical professionals to make a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components: an Amplifier Unit and a Base Station, which are integral to the device's function of recording EEG and PSG data.

Based on the provided information, the AURA-PSG amplifier system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for recording routine Electroencephalography (EEG) and Polysomnography (PSG). These are physiological measurements taken directly from the patient's body (in vivo), not tests performed on samples of biological material outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a system for acquiring electrical signals from electrodes and sensors attached to the patient. It focuses on signal conditioning, data sampling, and data storage/transmission. This aligns with a device used for physiological monitoring, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to the analysis of biological specimens like blood, urine, tissue, etc., which are characteristic of IVD devices.

Therefore, the AURA-PSG amplifier system falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description 2.1

AURA-PSG is a compact multi-channel amplifier and data acquisition device Aort F OO is a compoephalography (EEG) and polysomnography (PSG) recording applications. It provides for patient safety isolation, signal conditioning, and data sampling.

The AURA-PSG amplifier system consists of two major components: the Amplifier Unit and the Base Station. The Amplifier Unit provides connections for electrodes and sensors and is normally worn by the subject in a vest or pocket. The Amplifier and sonoord and to hernRay istation using either a signal cable (tether) or a wireless connection. Both transmit digitized waveform to the Base Station where it is converted to standard network protocols and made available to supporting computers.

AURA-PSG can be used for off-line, ambulatory recording. When used in this fashion, power is supplied by a battery and data is stored in internal memory. When the study is complete, data can be sent to a computer for review.

The Base Station provides Menu selections for configuring the unit, communicating with the host computer, and implementing an electrode impedance test. It contains an LCD that can display status and other information. Power is supplied to the AURA-PSG Base Station through a rear connector that attaches to a medical-grade requlated power supply (+12 volts DC).

The AURA-PSG Amplifier Unit is 5.5 inches x 3.5 inches by 1.0 inches and the AURA-PSG Base Station is approximately 7" x 6" x 2" inches. The Base Station can be attached to a cart arm, mounted on a wall or flat on a tabletop.

2.2 Technological Characteristics

The AURA-PSG and all devices listed as substantially equivalent use the same connections for referential electrodes and employ essentially the same referential amplifier design. All are designed to provide the signal conditioning required for EEG/PSG sensors. When connected to a computer with the appropriate software these systems are designed to monitor EEG/PSG waveforms and store the signals to the computer's hard drive. These products have very similar intended use and safety characteristics.

AURA-PSG and all devices listed as substantially equivalent depend on computer software to provide the majority of waveform filtering and waveform visualization. All are compatible with the Twin software package marketed by Grass-Telefactor. Twin software is compatible with a variety of EEG devices and provides functions for review, filtering and analysis of EEG waveform data. Twin is described in 510K Notification #K012976 (permission to market granted on 2/12/2002).

The essential safety characteristics of these devices are very similar. Each is powered from a low-voltage, medical-grade power supply that acts as safety isolation from mains. Each relies additionally on a second level of safety isolation using transformer coupling and optical techniques to isolate the patient leads from ground.

2

Both AURA-PSG and AURA are able to record waveforms to internal memory while the device is disconnected from the host computer. In both devices, this memory is removable, non-volatile and approximately the same capacity. Both AURA-PSG and AURA can operate from battery power to record waveforms for several hours without connection to the host computer.

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

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 Mcdical Device Amendments, or 10 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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
