The summary describes a microelectrode recording system for neurosurgery, focusing on hardware and software for signal acquisition and stimulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.
No
The device is used to assist in the precise placement of depth electrodes and for recording neuronal activity and stimulation, not for treating a condition itself.
Yes
The device records neuronal activity and stimulates brain neurons, which are diagnostic activities used to aid in the placement of depth electrodes.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Leadpoint Focus system "consists of the Leadpoint Focus Software, Focus Hardware, a Macro Stimulator, a MER amplifier and a sterile interconnection cable". This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
- Leadpoint Focus Function: The Leadpoint Focus system is used during a neurosurgical procedure to record and stimulate brain neurons within the living patient's brain. It assists in the placement of depth electrodes. This is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro one.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for assisting in neurosurgical procedures where recording and stimulation of brain neurons will aid in electrode placement. This is a direct interaction with the patient's living tissue.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that the Leadpoint Focus system is used directly on the patient during surgery, not for testing samples taken from the patient.

Device Description
Intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) has been introduced to improve the target localization during stereotactic surgery. The Leadpoint Focus is a MER system which consists of the Leadpoint Focus Software, Focus Hardware, a Macro Stimulator, a MER amplifier and a sterile interconnection cable (MER Cable) that connects the system to a Microelectrode. The Microelectrode is supplied by another manufacturer and is not part of the Leadpoint Focus system. The recognized upper limit for safe stimulation is 30μC/cm2 per phase. A MER Cable is an electrode cable composed of strands of insulated electrical conductors intended to connect a Microelectrode from a patient to the Leadpoint Focus system. The MER Cable is an optional consumable part. The MER cable is for single use only and delivered sterile.

Dear Mr. O'Connor:
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. Isting 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
