Intended Use
The NeuroMetrix Bioamplifier is intended for amplification and transmission of the electrical activity of peripheral nerves and muscles recorded through surface electrodes.
Device Description
The NeuroMetrix Bioamplifier ("Bioamplifier") is a one channel wireless electromyography amplifier. This device is intended to differentially measure, amplify, digitize, and wirelessly transmit bioelectrical signals from peripheral nerves and muscles transduced by surface electrodes, which are provided separately. The Bioamplifier consists of the following components: Amplifier/Digitization Unit, Battery, RF Trigger, and Bluetooth. The Bioamplifier is typically used with a host device that controls the operation of the Bioamplifier and may provide other functionality such as a user interface, electrical or other stimuli, data analysis, data storage, and document generation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a bioamplifier for signal acquisition and transmission, with no mention of AI/ML for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is intended for amplification and transmission of electrical activity for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a condition.

No
The device is described as an amplifier for electrical activity of peripheral nerves and muscles, implying it is used to record and transmit signals, not to interpret or diagnose. The description mentions it is typically used with a host device that may provide data analysis, suggesting the Bioamplifier itself doesn't perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an Amplifier/Digitization Unit, Battery, RF Trigger, and Bluetooth, indicating it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • The NeuroMetrix Bioamplifier is described as a device that amplifies and transmits electrical activity from peripheral nerves and muscles recorded through surface electrodes. This is a measurement of physiological signals directly from the body, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.

The device's function aligns with electrophysiological measurement, which is a type of in vivo diagnostic procedure, not in vitro.

(). BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Bioamplifier, which is the subject of this 510(k) Premarket Notification. is substantially equivalent to the predicate EB Neuro S.p.A. NeMus PC Peripheral as previously cleared for marketing. The two devices have similar indications for use. which is the recording of bicelectrical activity from peripheral nerves and muscles using surface electrodes, converting these signals into digital form, and transmitting this data to a host device. The two devices have comparable system components. They both have amplifier and digitization circuits. They both have a DC power source which in the Bioamplifier is provided by an embedded rechargeable battery and in the NeMus PC Peripheral by an AC/DC adapter. They both have a wired connector to surface Finally, they both have a digital link to an external device. In the electrodes. Bigamplifier this is accomplished through a Bluetooth wireless link while in the NeMus PC Peripheral it is provided via a wired Ethernet cable. Although the technology used in some system components is different (c.g., battery vs. AC/DC adapter: wireless vs. wired link). the functionality is comparable. Furthermore, the performance of all Bioamplifier system components has been validated. Therefore any differences in system component technologies do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues.
