Intended Use

The WAV Headset is intended for use in routine clinical and research settings where rapid placement of a number of EEG electrodes is desired.

Device Description

The WAVI™ Headset is an EEG electrode positioning system used to quickly place the electrodes in a uniform and consistent manner in accordance with the international standard Ten-Twenty System (10-20) to acquire electrophysiological EEG signals from an individual to a suitable EEG data collection device.

The device consists of the WAVi™ Headset, WAVi™ eSoc™ Single Use and Tin Electrode Contacts; the head set comes in five models/sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL). This device is portable, nonsterile, non-invasive, non-radiation emitting, point-of-care use device for use in healthcare facilities and hospitals.

Device characteristics include the eSoc™ Single Use Electrode Contacts which are soaked in 0.9% Normal Saline which is unique as it serves as the electro-conductive material and patient contact allowing the brain's electrical signals to be read through an EEG data collection device. Typical set-up and procedure time is less than twenty minutes.

The device does not contain software, biologics, drugs, coatings or any claim of sterility.

The WAVI™ Headset, eSoc™ Single Use and Ear Electrode Contacts are made from wellestablished medical grade materials; the Headset is made from a proprietary EVA material with tin plated ring electrode ports for placement of the Nylon 101 WAVi™ eSoc™ Single Use Electrode Contacts, and two ear electrodes are also made from Tin. A wire harness is embedded between two layers of EVA and is attached to each electrode port. The wire harness exits the headset to a 32-pin connector port.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the WAVi™ Headset and WAVi™ eSoc™ Single Use Electrode Contacts, a device intended for rapid placement of EEG electrodes in clinical and research settings.

Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and the study proving device performance:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly present a formal table of "acceptance criteria" for the device's technical or diagnostic performance in the way one might expect for an AI algorithm. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Electro-Cap™ System) based on technical characteristics and a comparative study.

However, we can infer performance requirements from the comparison table on page 5 and the non-clinical testing section:

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Primary Function: Transmit electrophysiological signals from an individual to data collection devices.The WAVi™ Headset and accessories are designed to acquire electrical activity of the brain via 0.9% Normal Saline soaked eSoc™ inserted into electrode ports, connecting through a wiring harness to a patient cable which is connected to an EEG device where brain activity is recorded for evaluation.
Safety: Does not transmit electrical current or provide stimulation.The device explicitly states it "Does not transmit electrical current, nor are they intended to be used for stimulation." This is consistent with the predicate device. Additionally, the device uses well-established medical grade materials (EVA, nylon 6/6 (101), tin) with prior 510(k) clearances, indicating no further biocompatibility testing was needed.
Performance (EEG Quality): Ability to provide EEG signals comparable to the predicate device.A side-by-side comparison on three test subjects using a Lexicor Neurosearch-24 Brain mapper (K915820) showed that "the spectral shape and maximum frequency of the corresponding WAVi Headset and Electro-Cap spectrums at each of the 10/20 EEG locations were consistently similar within each subject."
Electrode Placement Accuracy: Consistent placement according to the International 10-20 System.The device is an "EEG electrode positioning system used to quickly place the electrodes in a uniform and consistent manner in accordance with the international standard Ten-Twenty System (10-20)." The comparison found "The International 10-20 System is used as a basis for the electrode placement" for both the WAVi and the predicate.
Quality/Reliability: Meets performance specifications through manufacturing QA."The WAVi™ Headset and accessories meet all performance specifications" through Quality Assurance testing including visual inspection, label verification, dimensional verification, and individual electrode resistance checks.
Impedance (Predicate's criteria): Maximum impedance of 5 K/Ohms (for predicate).While the WAVi's direct impedance target isn't stated, the "similar spectral shape and maximum frequency" results from the comparative analysis imply that the electrical characteristics, including impedance (after taking into account the saline-soaked eSoc), are functionally equivalent to the predicate, which has this specified impedance.
Biocompatibility: No adverse reactions from materials.No biocompatibility testing was conducted as multiple 510(k)'s have been cleared for each of the medical grade materials used, demonstrating safety.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size for Test Set: 3 test subjects.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified, but likely from the US, given the submission to the US FDA. The study appears to be prospective as it involved a direct comparison on test subjects.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The concept of "experts" establishing ground truth in the context of diagnostic interpretation (e.g., radiologists for images) is not directly applicable here. The device is an EEG electrode positioning system, not a diagnostic interpretation tool. The "ground truth" for its performance is the direct comparison of its generated EEG signals against those from a legally marketed predicate device on the same subjects, as measured by an objective EEG device (Lexicor Neurosearch-24 Brain mapper). There's no mention of human interpretive "experts" in this part of the study.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

None. Adjudication methods are typically used when human interpretation or labeling creates the "ground truth" and discrepancies need to be resolved. In this device comparison, the output (EEG spectral shapes and maximum frequencies) was objectively measured by an EEG Brain Mapper (Lexicor Neurosearch-24). The consistency of these measurements between the two devices across subjects was the metric.

5. 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. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, nor does it involve human readers interpreting output that would then be compared to AI assistance. It's an electrode placement device; the comparison is between its raw signal output and that of a predicate device.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, in spirit. The study primarily assesses the device's ability to consistently acquire EEG signals in comparison to the predicate. The "performance" being evaluated is of the device itself (headset and electrodes) in generating electrical signals, rather than an algorithm's output. The Lexicor Neurosearch-24 Brain mapper served as the objective measurement tool, not a human interpreter.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" in this context is the EEG signals generated by the legally marketed predicate device (Electro-Cap™ System) under the same conditions, as objectively measured by a Lexicor Neurosearch-24 Brain mapper. The assumption is that the predicate device's output represents acceptable EEG signal acquisition.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is a hardware accessory for EEG signal acquisition, not an algorithm that requires a training set. The approval is based on substantial equivalence to an existing device and its physical and electrical characteristics.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. No training set was used for this device.

The electrical activity of the brain is acquired through 0.9% Normal Saline soaked eSocTM inserted into the electrode ports and connected through the Headset's wiring harness to the Patient Cable which is connected to the EEG device where brain activity may be recorded for evaluation.

Non-Clinical Testing:

The WAVI™ Headset and accessories are manufactured of medical grade materials including ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), nylon 6/6 (101) and tin. Multiple 510 (k)'s have been cleared for each of these materials demonstrating no need for further biocompatibility testing.

The WAVI™ Headset and accessories' Quality Assurance testing includes visual inspection of the headset, label and labeling, dimensional verification, and individual electrode resistance of the components and finished product. The WA Vi™ Headset and accessories meet all performance specifications.

The WAVi™ Headset and the Electro-Cap™ System were compared for sizing, electrode placement and labeling, and was found to be substantially equivalent.

The WAVI™ Headset and the Electro-Cap™ were also compared side-by-side on three test subjects using a Lexicor Neurosearch-24 Brain mapper (K915820); the spectral shape and maximum frequency of the corresponding WAVi Headset and Electro-Cap spectrums at each of the 10/20 EEG locations were consistently similar within each subject.

Substantial Equivalence

The WAVi™ Headset, WAVi™ eSoc™ Single Use and Tin Ear Electrode Contacts are portable, non-sterile, non-invasive, non-radiation emitting, point of care, electroencephalogram (EEG) devices, and is intended for use in routine clinical and research settings where rapid placement of a number of EEG electrodes is desired.

All non-clinical tests demonstrate that the WAVI™ Headset and accessories are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device.

The WAVi™ Headset is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in the following manner:

  • . Same intended use
  • Same operating principle ●
  • Same fundamental scientific technology
  • Same or substantially equivalent materials, including headset and electrodes. .

There are no other substantial or significant differences between the WA Vi™ Headset and its' accessories and the predicate that would affect safety, effectiveness or performance, therefore the WAVi™ Headset and accessories' are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
