Intended Use
A. Indications for use for BIS EEG Monitor System (VISTA Monitor and BISx4): The BIS EEG VISTA Monitor System is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in their proper use. The system, and all its associated parameters, is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients within a hospital or medical facility providing patient care to monitor the state of the brain by data acquisition of EEG signals. The BIS Index, one of the VISTA Monitor output parameters, may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents; and its usage with certain anesthetic agents may be associated with a reduction in primary anesthetic use and a reduction in emergence and recovery time. Use of the BIS Index for monitoring to help guide anesthetic administration may be associated with the reduction of incidence of awareness with recall in adults during general anesthesia and sedation. B. Indications for use for BISx device: The BISx is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in their proper use. The BISx, and all its associated parameters, is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients within a hospital or medical facility providing patient care to monitor the state of the brain by data acquisition of EEG signals. The BIS Index, one of the BISx output parameters, may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents; and its usage with certain anesthetic agents may be associated with a reduction in primary anesthetic use and a reduction in emergence and recovery time. Use of the BIS Index for monitoring to help guide anesthetic administration may be associated with the reduction of incidence of awareness with recall in adults during general anesthesia and sedation.
Device Description
A. BIS EEG VISTA Monitor System: The BIS EEG VISTA Monitor System, is comprised of the BISx4, the VISTA Monitor, and associated cables. When the System is connected to a BIS Sensor (which is applied to the patient's forehead, acquires EEG signals from the brain, and is 510(k) cleared) the monitor displays 2 channels of EEG. When the System is connected to a BIS Bilateral Sensor (also 510(k) cleared), the monitor displays 4 channels of EEG. The BISx4 houses the digital signal converter as well as the BIS algorithm (it has no display or user interface), and it performs the computations necessary to produce the Bispectral Index (BIS). It also calculates SQI, EMG, Burst count and Suppression Ratio. The BISx4 may be distributed to business partners that have the ability to display BIS on their patient monitors. The Monitor displays a maximum of 4 channels of EEG, as well as SQI, EMG, Burst Count, Suppression Ratio and a BIS value. The BIS value is acquired using 2 channels of EEG. The Monitor has secondary trend and trend review screens, as well as results of self tests. In addition to the above, when connected to a Bilateral Sensor, the System provides additional capability as follows: BISx4 calculates DSA, Asymmetry, sBIS, and sEMG. The Monitor displays DSA, Asymmetry, sBIS, and sEMG numerically and graphically. B. BISx device: The BISx is a component that processes up to 2 channels of EEG and computes BIS and other EEG parameters (same as the cleared BISx device). The BISx connects to Aspect sensors on one side and the Aspect Monitor or OEM patient monitoring systems on the other, allowing them to display BIS on their integrated patient monitoring systems. The OEMs are responsible for the regulatory pathway to integrate the BISx in their systems. The software is a moderate level of concern. This submission is updating the indications for use statement for the BISx device, to reflect the addition of clinical benefits added at FDA request to the BIS EEG VIEW Monitor, 510(k) (K#062613, recently cleared on 6/18/07). No change is being made to the cleared BISx device (#K040183).
More Information

No
The document describes the device as using a "BIS algorithm" and performing "computations necessary to produce the Bispectral Index (BIS)". While algorithms are fundamental to computing, the description does not mention or imply the use of AI or ML techniques for learning or adapting from data. The focus is on signal processing and calculation based on pre-defined methods.

No.
The device is described as a monitor intended for data acquisition and display of EEG signals, which aids in monitoring the effects of anesthetic agents and guiding administration. It does not actively treat or directly affect the body's function for therapeutic purposes.

Yes

The device is intended to monitor the state of the brain by data acquisition of EEG signals and specifically mentions that its output, the BIS Index, "may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents," suggesting a role in assessing a patient's physiological state for clinical decision-making.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of hardware components (BISx4, VISTA Monitor, associated cables, and sensors) in addition to the software.

Based on the provided text, 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.
  • Device Function: The BIS EEG Monitor System and BISx device acquire and process EEG signals directly from the patient's brain via sensors placed on the forehead. This is a non-invasive, in vivo measurement of electrical activity within the body.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological samples taken from the patient.

The device is a medical device used for monitoring physiological signals (EEG) in a living patient.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm.
