More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical electrode device for recording and stimulating brain signals, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The device is used for recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals, which are diagnostic and monitoring functions, not therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for "recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals in the subsurface of the brain," which directly relates to diagnosing brain activity.

No

The device description is not available, but the intended use clearly describes "Depth Electrodes," which are physical hardware components intended for insertion into the brain. This indicates the device is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals in the subsurface of the brain. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body (in vivo), not the examination of specimens derived from the human body (in vitro).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "subsurface of the brain," which is an internal part of the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing tests on specimens outside the body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to interact directly with the brain's electrical activity.

Dear Kim Schmelzer:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 14, 2016.

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, listing 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21
