No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on standard signal processing and display, not AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is described as an aid in diagnosing and evaluating conditions, not for treating them.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "useful as an aid in diagnosing and evaluating patients suspected of having focal or systemic neuropathies" and "useful as an aid in evaluating disorders of muscles." This explicitly indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a "Device" with a touch-screen, cables, electrodes, an EMG Module, a Charger, a Communications Hub, and a Cart. This indicates it is a system with significant hardware elements, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the NeuroMetrix ADVANCE device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for performing nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography procedures. These procedures involve measuring electrical signals directly from the patient's nerves and muscles.
- Device Description: The device description details components that interact directly with the patient (electrodes, needles) to measure physiological signals.
- Lack of In Vitro Components: There is no mention of the device analyzing samples of biological material (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is a defining characteristic of an IVD.
IVDs are designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The NeuroMetrix ADVANCE, on the other hand, is a medical device used for in vivo (within the living body) measurement of physiological signals.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
NeuroMetrix ADVANCE is intended to perform nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography procedures. As such, NeuroMetrix ADVANCE is intended to measure neuromuscular signals that are useful as an aid in diagnosing and evaluating patients suspected of having focal or systemic neuropathies. If the elective needle EMG module is used, then the device is also intended to measure signals that are useful as an aid in evaluating disorders of muscles.
This device must be used in the context of other patient information. Its output must be reviewed and interpreted by a physician who will exercise professional judgment when using this information.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Reproducibility of nerve conduction parameters derived from computer based data acquisition and waveform cursor assignments was assessed in 15 subjects; 14 of whom had symptoms of potential neuropathies. The median, ulnar, deep peroneal, posterior tibial, and sural nerves were evaluated bilaterally in each subject at two test sessions 3-7 days apart; two tests were performed within 10 minutes at each session. All the nerve conduction parameters listed in Section 5.1 above were measured. Variance components analyses were performed on all parameters via a nested variance model. The two outcome measures were "between test" reliability and "between session and test" reliability. The "between test" reliability quantified the short-term variation in device measurements and therefore represented the neurophysiological variability inherent in nerve conduction testing and the variability attributable to the ADVANCE System in the absence of operator intervention. The "between session and test reliability" quantified the variation between tests performed 3-7 days apart with distinct electrode placements. In this instance, sources of variability independent of the ADVANCE System were present and included differences in electrode placement and inter-session physiological changes.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A total of 6,659 nerve conduction parameters were measured and analyzed. The results quantified ADVANCE System reliability as the "between test" coefficient of variation and the "between session and test" coefficient of variation. These performance metrics were benchmarked against three large studies of nerve conduction reliability in which the measurements were performed by clinical neurophysiology specialists with oversight by a central review laboratory (Bril et al. 1998, Kohara et al. 2000, Bird et al. 2006). The reliability of motor and sensory latencies, conduction velocities, F-wave latencies, and motor and sensory amplitudes were comparable to the benchmark studies. Furthermore, the ranking of reliability, whereby F-wave latencies had the best performance and amplitudes the worst, was also consistent with the benchmark studies.

BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
The NeuroMetrix ADVANCE System, which is the subject of this 510(k) Premarket Notification, is substantially equivalent to the predicate Dantec Keypoint (K944547) and the NeuroMetrix NC-stat as previously cleared for marketing in K060584, K041320, and K013459. The purpose of this 510(k) is to describe the NeuroMetrix ADVANCE System including:
- 6.1 High resolution LCD touch screen for real-time display of nerve conduction waveforms and response parameters and needle clectromyography signals.
- 6.2 Ability of the physician to perform real-time assignment of motor, F-wave and sensory nerve conduction waveform cursors with the supplied stylus.
- Module for performance of invasive needle electromyography procedures. 6.3
- 6.4 Bluetooth wireless technology communication capability.
- 6.5 Enhanced algorithms for analysis of F-wave responses.
None of the features of the NeuroMetrix ADVANCE System have altered the basic performance, operation, or intended use of the device as compared with the predicate Dantec Keypoint (K944547). The ADVANCE System expands on the performance and operation of the NC-stat (K060584, K041320, K013459) by interfacing with individual electrodes, providing real-time waveform display, allowing manual waveform cursor assignment, and supporting invasive needle electromyography testing. ADVANCE improves on both predicate devices by incorporating an integrated high-resolution LCD touch screen, Bluetooth wireless transmission technology, and enhanced F-wave response analysis algorithms.
As demonstrated by a comparison of technical specifications, inclusion of validation reports, and provision of performance and clinical data in this 510(k), the NeuroMetrix ADVANCE System is substantially equivalent to the Dantec Keypoint (K944547) and the NeuroMetrix NC-stat (K060584, K041320, K013459).
ADVANCE System reliability was demonstrated by performance data submitted in this 510(k). The reproducibility of nerve conduction parameters derived from computer based data acquisition and waveform cursor assignments was assessed in 15 subjects; 14 of whom had symptoms of potential neuropathies. The median, ulnar, deep peroneal, posterior tibial, and sural nerves were evaluated bilaterally in each subject at two test
