Intended Use

The Nemus 2 System is intended to acquire the bioelectric signals produced by the patient's central and peripheral nervous system and muscles. The acquired signals are transmitted to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations. The Nemus 2 System consists of a physiological signal amplifier, an evoked response auditory stimulator, an evoked response electrical stimulator, and an evoked response photic stimulator. The user needs to assure compatibility of the Nemus 2 System to the other components of the user's own system.

Device Description

The Nemus 2 System is made up of the Nemus 2 Amplifier/Stimulator, an AC/DC converter to power the amplifier, a "junction box" to connect the system to the Host PC, and (optionally) by a dedicate keyboard and a Flash LED stimulator.

The Nemus 2 System is intended to acquire bioelectric signals produced by the patient's central and peripheral nervous system and muscles. The acquired signals are transmitted to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations. The device may use electrical stimulus, sound stimulus, or visual stimulus for use in evoked response analysis.

The Nemus 2 System is an amplifier/stimulator device especially developed to amplify biological signals. The amplifier captures the biological signal from the human body through specialized sensors or electrodes, amplifies the very low electrical signal, and filters it to accomplish an antialiasing in order to make an optimal ANALOG to DIGITAL conversion. The data, once converted in numerical form, are "passed" to a host computer, which at this point is free to elaborate the data following the logic of the application software running on the host. The Nemus 2 System is not involved in the data management performed by the host.

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

  • Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary for engineering verification. The "test set" here refers to the device itself and its components undergoing bench testing, not a dataset of patient cases.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The "study" described is verification testing against technical specifications, not a study involving patient data.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable. Ground truth as typically defined for medical AI (e.g., expert labels on images) is not relevant for this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for the verification testing is adherence to established engineering specifications and medical device safety standards.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. The testing involves objective measurements against predefined technical specifications and safety standards, not a subjective interpretation requiring adjudication among experts.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Readers Improving with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

  • MRMC Study: No. This device is a physiological signal amplifier and stimulator, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool that would typically undergo MRMC studies to evaluate reader performance.
  • Effect Size of Human Readers: Not applicable.

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

  • Standalone Performance: Not applicable. This is a hardware device for acquiring and stimulating bioelectric signals, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated based on its ability to accurately amplify, filter, and stimulate according to its specifications.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's acceptance is based on:

  • Conformity to international electrical and medical device safety standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series).
  • Demonstration through verification testing that the device meets its own established technical specifications for parameters such as noise, CMRR, IMRR, input impedance, and channel characteristics.
  • Substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Nemus 1 and BE Plus LTM) based on technological characteristics and intended use.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size: Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device. There is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Ground Truth Establishment: Not applicable. There is no training set or associated ground truth in this context.

Technological Characteristics

The Nemus 2 is very similar to the Nemus 1 both from the hardware and the software point of view. Nemus 2 may be considered an "enhanced" version of Nemus 1. Practically the Nemus 1 with an added internal board deputed to the Acquisition of the 20 EEG/EP channels. The case is practically identical with the obvious exception of the upper panel in which, in the Nemus 2 have been allocated the input sockets for the added channels.

In particular in relation to the internal stimulators:

  • -The audio stimulator is absolutely identical
  • । The electric stimulator of the Nemus 2 is the same of the Nemus 1, but with the difference that in the Nemus 2 the electric pulse may be delivered to 5 different output sockets. Under control of the firmware the stimulus may be delivered on one of this 5 output, but only one may be active at the same time, so also the Nemus 2 simulator has "only" one output. Apart from this aspect the two stimulators are identical.

The two devices use the same AC/DC mains adapter.

Parts of the system external the "Base unit" (the amplifier), i.e. the connection box, the link cable, the stimulation probe, the optional dedicated myographic keyboard, are the same for both devices.

The firmware is substantially the same with the only obvious exception of the added 20 EEG/EP channels. Apart from this, the host communication protocol is the same for both devices.

Differently from the Nemus 2 can handle, as an option, the EBNeuro Flash LED stimulator, useful during EEG or Visual Evoked Potential exams.

The Nemus 2 20 EEG/EP channels use the same technology of the 64 channels of the BE Plus LTM.

The part of Nemus 2 host communication protocol related to the transmission of the EEG data is substantially the same to the BE Plus LTM due to the fact that the processing architecture is very similar.

The Nemus 2 and BE Plus LTM devices can handle the same (optional) EBNeuro Flash LED stimulator.

The Nemus 2 and BE Plus LTM devices use the same AC/DC mains adapter. However the BE Plus LTM may be powered also from internal batteries.

An obvious difference is that the BE Plus LTM is not capable to hannels due to absence of internal stimulator and due to the technical characteristic of its acquisition channels (band, sampling rate, etc)
