Device Description
GeoSource is an add-on software module to EGI's Net Station software and can only be used on EEG data generated by EGI hardware. It runs on a personal computer. It is used to approximate source localization of EEG signals and visualize those estimated locations. It uses the linear inverse methods LORETA, LAURA, and sLORETA and the sphere and Finite Difference forward head models.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states it uses linear inverse methods (LORETA, LAURA, sLORETA) and standard head models (sphere, Finite Difference), which are traditional signal processing techniques, not AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, DNN, or ML in the provided text.

No
The device is described as an "add-on software module" that "approximates source localization of EEG signals and visualizes those estimated locations." Its "intended use" is for "visualization of human brain function" by fusing EEG information with images. There is no mention of treating or diagnosing a disease or condition, which would make it a therapeutic device.

Yes

The device is intended for use by a trained/qualified EEG technologist or physician for the visualization of human brain function by fusing EEG information with rendered images, and for approximating source localization of EEG signals and visualizing estimated locations. This information assists in understanding brain function and locating neurological activity, which are diagnostic purposes. The performance study also involves evaluating source localization results in relation to resected brain regions in epilepsy subjects, further supporting its diagnostic application.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that GeoSource is an "add-on software module" and "runs on a personal computer," indicating it is a software-only component that processes data from separate hardware (EGI's Net Station and EEG hardware).

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • GeoSource's Function: GeoSource processes EEG data, which is a measurement of electrical activity in the brain. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes visualization of brain function by fusing EEG information with head models and MRI images. This is a diagnostic tool for analyzing brain activity, not for testing biological samples.

Therefore, GeoSource falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, but specifically for analyzing physiological signals (EEG) rather than biological samples.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A retrospective data analysis of 20 epilepsy subjects aged 3 to 55 who had previously undergone resection surgery was provided. All subjects had previously undergone high density (> 128 electrodes) EEG analysis prior to resection surgery, had operative data available that described the resected zone, and were determined to be Engel 1 or 2 postoperatively. The study included subjects with temporal and extratemporal resected zones. Each subject's EEG data was reviewed by a clinical neurophysiologist who identified spikes within the EEG. Spikes were then grouped according to topographic distribution and then averaged relative to the peak of the spike to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The average of this dominant group was used in the source estimate. The time point used in the source estimate was the rising slope of the spike. The data were then run through the GeoSource software algorithms (i.e., LORETA, sLORETA, and LAURA with the GeoSource finite difference model [FDM]) and the predicate algorithm (i.e., LORETA using a spherical head model).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Clinical testing: A retrospective clinical study was done to compare the source localization accuracy of the GeoSource as compared to that of the predicate device. The analysis compared the source localization accuracy of the GeoSource software algorithms (i.e., LORETA, sLORETA, and LAURA with the GeoSource finite difference model [FDM]) to that of the predicate algorithm (i.e., LORETA using a spherical head model). Three experienced epileptologists from the University of Washington's Regional Epilepsy Center were provided the source localization results along with summaries of the postoperative reports and asked to rate whether each of the four algorithm solutions (i.e., LORETA, sLORETA, and LAURA with the GeoSource finite difference model [FDM] and the LORETA using a spherical head model) were located within the resected brain regions. The results demonstrated that the proposed GeoSource algorithms were substantially equivalent to the predicate device algorithm.

Non-clinical testing: Software verification and validation testing has been conducted. This includes verification of the algorithms and checks of accuracy.

Both GeoSource and CURRY use the LORETA linear inverse method and sphere head models. These were demonstrated to be substantially equivalent. Then a retrospective clinical study was done that the other linear inverse methods and head models gave similar results. Therefore, the linear inverse methods and forward head models have been shown to be substantially equivalent.

Non-clinical testing conducted:

Software verification and validation testing has been conducted. This includes verification of the algorithms and checks of accuracy.

Clinical testing:

In order to compare the source localization accuracy of the GeoSource as compared to that of the predicate device, a retrospective data analysis of 20 epilepsy subjects aged 3 to 55 who had previously undergone resection surgery was provided. The analysis compared the source localization accuracy of the GeoSource software algorithms (i.e., LORETA, sLORETA, and LAURA with the GeoSource finite difference model [FDM]) to that of the predicate algorithm (i.e., LORETA using a spherical head model). All subjects had previously undergone high density (> 128 electrodes) EEG analysis prior to resection surgery, had operative data available that described the resected zone, and were determined to be Engel 1 or 2 postoperatively. The study included subjects with temporal and extratemporal resected zones.

Each subject's EEG data was reviewed by a clinical neurophysiologist who identified spikes within the EEG. Spikes were then grouped according to topographic distribution and then averaged relative to the peak of the spike to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The average of this dominant group was used in the source estimate. The time point used in the source estimate was the rising slope of the spike. The data were then run through the GeoSource software algorithms (i.e., LORETA, sLORETA, and LAURA with the GeoSource finite difference model [FDM]) and the predicate algorithm (i.e., LORETA using a spherical head model).

Three experienced epileptologists from the University of Washington's Regional Epilepsy Center were provided the source localization results along with summaries of the postoperative reports and asked to rate whether each of the four algorithm solutions (i.e., LORETA, sLORETA, and LAURA with the GeoSource finite difference model [FDM] and the LORETA using a spherical head model) were located within the resected brain regions. The results demonstrated that the proposed GeoSource algorithms were substantially equivalent to the predicate device algorithm.

Conclusions:

The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical and clinical tests demonstrate that GeoSource is as safe and effective as the predicate devices, Electroencephalograph Software eemagine EEG and CURRY Multimodal Neuroimaging Software.
