Based on the provided information, the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the compatibility of donations of blood and tissue with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
- NeuroStar TMS Therapy System Function: The NeuroStar TMS Therapy System is a device that treats Major Depressive Disorder by applying magnetic stimulation to the cerebral cortex. It does not analyze biological specimens from the patient.
Therefore, the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A database search was conducted to identify human studies evaluating TMS and variations in inter-train interval. This analysis encompassed 79 studies and research outcomes on 3359 subjects, among whom 2162 subjects were exposed to active TMS treatment. Data from these studies were used to analyze the safety and effectiveness of TMS delivered using varying TMS treatment parameters, particularly varying inter-train intervals. The analysis of effectiveness was conducted using the results of 44 studies (a total of 50 active treatment arms) where there was complete information to identify the TMS treatment parameter set used and the clinical outcome for the primary efficacy measure. In addition to reviewing the data from clinical trials, the evidence summarized in four peer-reviewed meta-analyses of the efficacy of TMS for the treatment of major depressive disorder was also examined. Eleven clinical studies utilized the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System or progenitor iron-core devices and encompassed 1069 subjects, among whom 770 subjects received active TMS. The remaining studies used reference TMS devices. This analysis showed that variations across the range of inter-train intervals used within the reported treatment parameter sets do not impact TMS efficacy.
For safety analysis, when provided, adverse events using the verbatim terms used in the reference were aggregated. The sporadic incidence of seizure was also evaluated. These data represent summary evidence from 61 studies, comprising 67 active treatment arms among 2836 subjects. This analysis showed that there is no evidence to indicate that the risk of inadvertent seizure or the pattern of common adverse events reported for TMS varies in a systematic manner across the range of inter-train intervals used within the reported treatment parameter sets.

Intended Use:
The NeuroStar TMS Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device, NeuroStar TMS System, has the following similarities to the predicate TMS device (NeuroStar TMS Therapy System, K133408):
- Principles of operation
- Design for delivery of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) ●
- O Output stimulation parameters (pulse width, frequency range, pulse interval range, etc.)
- . Materials
The change for the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System is a modification to the labeling of the device to allow a range of intervals from 11 to 26 seconds, rather than the fixed 26 second duration, which will allow a reduction in treatment time from 37.5 minutes to a minimum of 18.8 minutes. The change is intended to address physician and patient requests for a reduced treatment time due to issues of comfort and convenience to improve access. The proposed change is supported by information submitted in this premarket notification and with the following rationale:
-
- Device is substantially equivalent to the FDA-cleared NeuroStar TMS Therapy System: The NeuroStar TMS Therapy System that is the subject of the premarket notification is the same device cleared by the FDA under DEN070003/K061053, K083538, K130233 and K133408. This change remains within the existing product specification for inter-train interval (range 10-60 seconds for > 1 pulse per second).
-
- Device new clinical data supports the revised labeling: New clinical data obtained from a review of clinical trials conducted with the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System and reference
5
TMS devices demonstrate the use of inter-train intervals in the proposed range from 11 to 26 seconds does not impact the safety and efficacy of the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System for its Intended Use.
Changes to the device labeling include revised instructions for use to include a range of intertrain intervals from 11 to 26 seconds depending on physician and patient preference. No other changes are made to the device or product labeling. Therefore, the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System with this change to the product labeling is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Clinical Performance:
A database search was conducted to identify human studies evaluating TMS and variations in inter-train interval. This analysis encompassed 79 studies and research outcomes on 3359 subjects, among whom 2162 subjects were exposed to active TMS treatment. Data from these studies were used to analyze the safety and effectiveness of TMS delivered using varying TMS treatment parameters, particularly varying inter-train intervals. The analysis of effectiveness was conducted using the results of 44 studies (a total of 50 active treatment arms) where there was complete information to identify the TMS treatment parameter set used and the clinical outcome for the primary efficacy measure. In addition to reviewing the data from clinical trials, the evidence summarized in four peer-reviewed meta-analyses of the efficacy of TMS for the treatment of major depressive disorder was also examined. Eleven clinical studies utilized the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System or progenitor iron-core devices and encompassed 1069 subjects, among whom 770 subjects received active TMS. The remaining studies used reference TMS devices. This analysis showed that variations across the range of inter-train intervals used within the reported treatment parameter sets do not impact TMS efficacy.
For safety analysis, when provided, adverse events using the verbatim terms used in the reference were aggregated. The sporadic incidence of seizure was also evaluated. These data represent summary evidence from 61 studies, comprising 67 active treatment arms among 2836 subjects. This analysis showed that there is no evidence to indicate that the risk of inadvertent seizure or the pattern of common adverse events reported for TMS varies in a systematic manner across the range of inter-train intervals used within the reported treatment parameter sets.
The NeuroStar TMS Therapy System that is the subject of this premarket 510(k) notification is the same (substantially equivalent) device cleared by the FDA under DEN070003/K061053, K083538, K130233 and K133408. New clinical data from a literature review of clinical trials conducted for the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System and reference TMS devices demonstrate that the revised inter-train interval range does not impact the safety and efficacy of the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System for its indicated use.
