AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Neurosoft Neuron-Spectrum series of devices (Neuron-Spectrum-1, -2, -3, -4, and -4/P) with Neuron-Spectrum.NET software. The primary purpose of the submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than to establish new acceptance criteria through a clinical study. Therefore, the document does not contain a typical "acceptance criteria" table with specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) and reported device performance against those criteria as would be expected for an AI/ML device seeking de novo authorization or a PMA.

Instead, the submission focuses on comparing the technological characteristics of the subject device to predicate devices to argue for substantial equivalence. The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred to be that the device performs functionally and safely at least as well as the predicate devices, as demonstrated through technical comparisons and compliance with relevant safety and performance standards.

Here's an attempt to structure the information based on the provided text, acknowledging the limitations due to the nature of a 510(k) submission primarily focused on substantial equivalence:

Inferred Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Devices)

Criterion CategoryInferred Acceptance Criterion (based on predicate)Device Performance (as stated or implied)
SafetyCompliance with medical device safety standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-26, IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 62304).The device is in compliance with IEC 60601-1:1988+A1:1991+A2:1995, IEC 60601-1-1:2000, IEC 60601-2-26:2002, IEC 60601-1-2:2007, IEC 60601-1-6-2006 (for subject device), and related predicate standards. "The Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4, 4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET is in compliance with both the standards IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-1 and is safe as the predicate device."
Effectiveness/ FunctionalityPerformance of core functions for acquiring, processing, and displaying biopotential signals (EEG, EP, PSG) comparable to predicate devices.The device records, processes, and displays biopotential signals like EEG, EP, and PSG. The document provides detailed comparisons of hardware attributes (number of channels, sampling rate, filters, noise, input impedance, signal types recorded) and software functions (EEG review, archiving, quantitative EEG parameters like Rhythmicity, FFT power ratio, amplitude metrics) to predicate devices, asserting that minor differences do not adversely affect safety and effectiveness. "All the necessary performance tests in support of substantial equivalence determination were conducted and documented in section 18 'Performance testing'. The tests demonstrate that the Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET is effective and performs as well as the predicate device."
No Diagnostic ConclusionThe device does not provide automated diagnostic conclusions about the patient's condition."The devices do not provide alarms, do not provide automated event marking and do not provide to the user any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition." This is explicitly stated for both the subject device and some predicate devices.
Intended Use Environment/UserIntended for use by trained medical staff in patient care institutions, diagnostics centers, neurosurgical hospitals experimental laboratories, and sleep laboratories. Patient group includes all ages and sexes.Consistent with the intended use of predicate devices, targeting trained medical professionals in similar clinical and research environments for all patient demographics. E.g., for Cervello: "The devices are intended to be used by physicians, technicians and other medical professions that are trained in EEG and/or PSG." And for Persyst 12: "This device is intended to be used by qualified medical practitioners who will exercise professional judgment in using the information."

Study Details:

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification, which relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than a clinical study establishing new performance claims. Therefore, the details requested about sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, and comparative effectiveness studies are not typically found in this type of submission for this class of device.

Here's what can be inferred or stated based on the document's content:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set Description: The document does not describe a clinical test set of patient data used to evaluate the device's performance against specific acceptance criteria. The evaluation is primarily based on technical specification comparisons and compliance with recognized standards (e.g., IEC tests for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility).
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable as a traditional clinical test set was not used. The "performance data" refers to validation tests on the device itself (hardware and software) and compliance with standards. The document mentions "Validation tests (Section 16.3), the Software Requirements Specifications (Section 16.4)" but these sections are not provided in the extract.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. As no clinical test set with ground truth was described for independent device evaluation (beyond the intrinsic safety and performance of the device's components and software features), no experts were involved in establishing ground truth for such a test. The evaluation is against predicate device specifications and regulatory standards.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication for ground truth was used.
  4. 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:

    • No MRMC study was done. This device is an Electroencephalograph system for recording, processing, and displaying biopotential signals. It "does not provide alarms, do not provide automated event marking and do not provide to the user any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition." Therefore, it does not involve AI for interpretation or diagnostic assistance to human readers, and thus such a study would not be relevant.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No standalone algorithm performance study was done. The device's software (Neuron-Spectrum.NET) performs functions such as signal acquisition, review, editing, storing, and analysis (including quantitative EEG parameters like Rhythmicity, FFT power ratio, and amplitude metrics). However, the document explicitly states that the device "does not provide to the user any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition." Its functions are presented as tools for trained medical professionals, implying a human-in-the-loop workflow, where the human interprets the displayed signals and analysis. The document does not describe autonomous algorithmic diagnostic output.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Not applicable for a clinical test set. The "ground truth" for this submission would relate to whether the device's technical specifications and functional performance meet the engineering and safety standards, and are comparable to predicate devices. This involves engineering measurements and comparisons rather than clinical ground truth diagnoses.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. The document does not describe a machine learning algorithm that underwent a training phase with a specific dataset.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning algorithm is described.

Delays of up to several minutes can occur between the beginning of a seizure and when the Persyst 12 notifications will be shown to a user. Persyst 12 notifications cannot be used as a substitute for real time monitoring of the underlying EEG by a trained expert.

7-Persyst AR (Artifact Reduction) is intended to reduce EMG, eye movement, and electrode artifacts in a standard 10-20 EEG recording. AR does not remove the entifact signal, and is not effective for other types of artifacts. AR may modify portions of waveforms representing cerebral activity. Waveforms must still be read by a qualified medical practitioner trained in recognizing artifact, and any interpretation or diagnosis must be made with reference to the original waveforms.

Conclusion of the hardware equivalence

The Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Spectrum.NET software acquire only a subset of the biopotentials collected by the predicate device Cervellobut this deficiency doesn't affect safety and effectiveness of the system, as demonstrated with the proper IEC tests.

Based on the information and supporting documentation provided in Section 12 Substantial Equivalence Discussion, Neuro-Spectrum-1, 2, 3,4, 4/P devices are substantially equivalent for the applicable features to the predicate devices FOCUS EMG and Neurofax m EEG-9100.

An auditory stimulator adapted for Neurosoft Ltd. is used. TDH-39 headphones are registered together with Focus device as K102610. These auditory stimulators are identical to those used in the subject device.

For photo stimulation a photic stimulator) is used.LED stimulator can be attached to the Neuro-Spectrum-1, 2, 3 ,4, 4/P via photic stimulator connector located on a device panel (the same as Neurofax m EEG-9100)

A thorough comparison of of outputs for NEURON-SPECTRUM-1,2,3,4,4/P and Alice PolysomnographySystemis provided in Section 12 Substantial Equivalence Discussion.

A thorough comparison between the Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Spectrum.NET software and Persyst 12software is shown in a tabular form in theSection 12 Substantial Equivalence Discussion. All the characteristics that affect the safety and effectiveness of the system are compared and presented in a clear format.

All the third party sensors that are recommended to be used in the Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P have prior 510(k) approval from FDA or they have biosafety tests (see Section 11.9). The specifications meet the requirements of the Draft FDA guidance for 510(k) content for Electroencephalograph Devices.

Discussion of minor differences in software features

The processing functions for both the subject devices are well known and accepted as the conventional tools.

The Neuron-Spectrum.NET software resides on a PC like Persyst 12 and it has indications for use and characteristics that are a subset of the ones of Persyst 12. These functions are generic for all two devices.

As described Section 12 Substantial Equivalence Discussionthe predicate substantially performs the same operations and the minor differences consist in:

  • graphical appearance of the control icons; 。
  • graphical appearance on displaying the results.

These minor differences do not raise any new hazard, they don't increase the risk of inappropriate image capture or the risk of an erroneous interpretation of the results by the operator or the risk of an erroneous processing.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

A comparison of the technological characteristics of Neuron-Spectrum-1.2.3.4.4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET software and the predicate devices has been performed through the above comparative tables. The results of

this comparison demonstrate that the Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET software is equivalent to the marketed predicate devices.

PERFORMANCE DATA

The performance data (IEC e ISO tests attached in Section and Validation tests (Section 16.3), the Software Requirements Specifications (Section 16.4) indicate that the Neuron-Spectrum-1.2.3.4.4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET software device meets all specified requirements and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

CONCLUSION STATEMENT

All the necessary electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety tests were performed.

The results demonstrate that Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4, 4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET is in compliance with both the standards IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-1 and is safe as the predicate device.

All the necessary performance tests in support of substantial equivalence determination were conducted and documented in section 18 "Performance testing". The tests demonstrate that the Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET is effective and performs as well as the predicate device.

So Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET and CervelloTM can be considered substantial equivalent even if the design is different. In fact, even if the instruments are different, the electrodes have different shapes, the software has some differences in functionalities, they acquire, display and analyse biopotential signals such as Electroencephalography (EEG) , Evoked Potential (EP). AndPolysomnography (PSG).

The Neuron-Spectrum.NET software and Persyst 12 can be considered substantial equivalent even if the windows and the icons, i.e. the design, are different, as demonstrated by the comparison table 5.2. In fact the main core of the functions is the same.

The minor differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise of safety or efficacy.

Based on these results, we conclude that the Neuron-Spectrum-1,2,3,4,4/P with Neuron-Spectrum.NET are substantially equivalent to the existing legally marketed devices CervelloTM Bio-Potential Signal Acquisition System,FOCUS EMG , Neurofax m EEG-9100 and Alice 5 for the hardware configuration, and PERSYST 12 EEG REVIEW AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE for the software configuration under Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
