More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of the electrodes for recording and stimulation.

No.
The device is used for temporary recording and stimulation during neurosurgery, primarily for diagnostic or monitoring purposes, rather than directly treating a disease or condition. While stimulation can be therapeutic, the primary function described here is for investigation and mapping, which falls under diagnostic or intraoperative monitoring.

Yes
The device is described as being used for "recording electrical signals from target brain cells" and "recording cell potentials of single cells or of cell clusters" and "recording of local field potentials," which are all activities associated with gathering information about the physiological state of the brain. The intended use of "recording and stimulation of defined small area in the brain" implies that the recorded signals are used to understand the brain's activity, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is equipped with physical "Micro tip and a Macro tip" which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "recording and stimulation of defined small area in the brain, and for recording electrical signals from target brain cells" during neurosurgery. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for physiological measurement and intervention.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality. This device does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on the "human brain," which is an in-vivo application, not in-vitro.

The device described is a surgical electrode used for neurophysiological monitoring and stimulation in vivo during surgery.

Dear Mr. Jadaon:

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 Medical Device Amendments, or to 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.
