The WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit is intended to acquire, store, record, and transmit the cerebral and extracerebral activity for EEG and sleep studies. The device should be used together with Nihon Kohden specified electroencephalograph via wired or wireless communication to display EEG on the electroencephalograph screen. These data may be used by the clinician in sleep disorder, epilepsies and other related disorders as an aid in diagnosis. The WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit is designed for use by qualified medical facility such as a hospital or clinic on all patient populations including adult, neonate, infant, child and adolescent subgroups.
The WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit is a system that can be used in routine EEG testing, epilepsy monitoring, or PSG testing to send the measured EEG waves, ECG waves, EMG waves, EOG waves, and respiration waves from the electroencephalograph by wired or wireless LAN. The electrodes are connected to a mini junction box which is connected to the telemetry unit that is worn by patient or placed near patient.
The measured data can also be stored in the telemetry unit of the WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit.
Additionally, by connecting a SpO2 sensor and SpO2 adapter to the telemetry unit, SpO2 value and waveform can be measured and displayed on both the electroencephalograph screen and the telemetry unit LCD display.
The provided text describes the regulatory submission for the Nihon Kohden Wireless Input Unit WEE-1200, primarily focusing on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving its performance against specific acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design for proving device performance (like sample size, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment), and training set information are not available in this document. This submission is for an Electroencephalograph (EEG) wireless input unit, which is a data acquisition and transmission device, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. The "performance" being validated here relates to its technical functionality, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
However, I can extract information related to the non-clinical testing that was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence and meet regulatory standards.
Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not present specific diagnostic performance acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) because it is a device for acquiring and transmitting physiological signals (EEG, ECG, EMG, EOG, respiration, SpO2), not a diagnostic algorithm. The acceptance criteria are based on functional performance, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
