Device Description

Multi-Channel, Multi-Modal Physiological Monitoring System

Cervello Ambulatory - This system uses the Cervello Amplifier in the ambulatory environment and provides up to 64 input channels for EEG and PSG studies. The Amplifier is battery powered during recording; the internal microcontroller stores the data in a RAM buffer and memory card where it can be downloaded later for review by a physician.

Cervello Basic - This is a PC-based clinician-oriented EEG and/or PSG monitoring system that provides between up to 128 channels for EEG recording using the Cervello Amplifier. Data is displayed on a monitor using the Cervello Basic software program and video capabilities are available.

Cervello Elite -- This is a PC-based clinician-oriented monitoring system that provides up to 256 channels for recording bio-potentials such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (ECG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocorticography (ECoG) and evoked potential (EP) using the NeuroPort Bio-Potential System Hardware and operates both the Cervello (Basic) and the Central Software. Video capabilities are available.

In all cases, and as with the predicate devices, the Cervello Basic, Ambulatory and Elite Systems are not monitoring systems. No physiologic alarms are provided. The acquisition and display of bio-potential signals is for the interpretation and use of the clinician. The devices do not make any judgment of normality or abnormality of the displayed signals and the software is not intended to do automatic analysis of the recorded signals

AI/ML Overview

The Blackrock NeuroMed Cervello Bio-Potential Signal Acquisition System is a multi-channel, multi-modal physiological monitoring system with three configurations: Cervello Ambulatory, Cervello Basic, and Cervello Elite. The submission for this device is a consolidation/modification of existing devices, and its acceptance criteria and the study proving it meets these criteria are based on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The device is not intended to make any judgment of normality or abnormality of the displayed signals, nor is it a monitoring system with physiological alarms. Its purpose is to acquire, display, store, and archive bio-potential signals for interpretation and use by clinicians.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The provided document does not detail specific sample sizes for test sets in clinical studies. The performance testing primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical specifications and compliance with standards.

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly mentioned in terms of patient data. The evaluation appears to be based on engineering and performance testing against established standards and comparison to predicate devices, rather than a clinical trial with a specific patient test set.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not mention data provenance in terms of country of origin or whether studies were retrospective or prospective, as the device's approval is based on substantial equivalence and technical performance, not new clinical data generation.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

No information regarding experts establishing ground truth for a test set is provided. The submission relies on technical comparisons to predicate devices and adherence to regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 60601) to support its claims of safety and effectiveness.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as no dedicated test set requiring clinical adjudication is described in the provided information.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. The device is a bio-potential signal acquisition system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically be evaluated with an MRMC study for human reader performance improvement. It does not provide automatic analysis or diagnostic judgments.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. The device is a hardware and software system for acquiring and displaying bio-potential signals; it does not contain an AI algorithm that operates standalone for diagnostic purposes. The software is explicitly stated "not intended to do automatic analysis of the recorded signals" and "not intended for use as an automated apnea monitor."

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by its adherence to internationally recognized electrical safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series) and by demonstrating that its technical specifications and intended use are equivalent to existing, legally marketed predicate devices. This is a regulatory "ground truth" rather than a clinical one derived from patient outcomes or expert consensus on a specific diagnostic task.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. The device is not a machine learning or AI model, so there is no "training set" in the conventional sense. Its design and validation are based on engineering principles and regulatory compliance.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model. The evaluation of this device is based on comparing its specified performance characteristics and safety profiles to those of legally marketed predicate devices.
