Intended Use
The Elekta Neuromag® with MaxFilter 2.1 is intended for use as a magnetoencephalographic (MEG) device which non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. When interpreted by a trained clinician, the data enhances the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active nerve tissue responsible for critical brain functions. Elekta Neuromag® with MaxFilter™ non-invasively measures the magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals (and, optionally, electroencephalographic (EEG) signals) produced by electrically active tissue of the brain. These signals are recorded by a computerized data acquisition system, displayed and may then be interpreted by trained physicians to help localize these active areas. The locations may then be correlated with anatomical information of the brain. MEG is routinely used to identify the locations of visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motor cortex in the brain when used in conjunction with evoked response averaging devices. MEG is also used to non-invasively locate regions of epileptic activity within the brain. The localization information provided by MEG may be used, in conjunction with other diagnostic data, in neurosurgical planning.
Device Description
This premarket notification represents modifications made to our current product. The present device differs from the predicate device, K050035, Elekta Neuromag® with Maxwell Filter only in the following areas of functionality: Spatiotemporal interference elimination, Graphical user interface; and Offline averager. The modification also adds compatibility with internal active shielding, an interference removal method described in K081430. MaxFilter™ is intended to be used with Elekta Neuromag® MEG products in reducing measurement artifacts.
More Information

No
The document describes signal processing and interference elimination techniques (Spatiotemporal interference elimination, Maxwell Filter, internal active shielding) which are not inherently AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The focus is on signal acquisition, filtering, and localization based on established biophysical principles.

No
The device is used to non-invasively detect and display biomagnetic signals to enhance diagnostic capability and localize active nerve tissue, not to provide therapy.

Yes
The device is intended to "non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain" and "when interpreted by a trained clinician, the data enhances the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active nerve tissue responsible for critical brain functions." It is also stated that "MEG is routinely used to identify the locations of visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motor cortex in the brain" and "non-invasively locate regions of epileptic activity within the brain." This information is clearly for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a modification to a "current product" and mentions compatibility with "internal active shielding," which are hardware components of a MEG system. The software (MaxFilter) is intended to be used with Elekta Neuromag® MEG products, which are hardware devices.

Based on the provided information, the Elekta Neuromag® with MaxFilter 2.1 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the Elekta Neuromag® with MaxFilter 2.1 non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. This is a direct measurement of physiological activity within the body, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.
  • The device measures MEG and optionally EEG signals. These are electrophysiological signals measured directly from the patient, not from a sample like blood, urine, or tissue.

The device is a diagnostic tool, but it falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices as it measures physiological signals directly from the living body.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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. Ilisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
