The summary describes a hardware device (EEG amplifier) for signal acquisition and transmission. There is no mention of AI/ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
The device is described as an EEG amplifier intended for the acquisition and transmission of EEG signals, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. Its purpose is to measure, not to treat.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is intended for the "acquisition of EEG signals." EEG signals are used by physicians to diagnose neurological conditions, thus indicating a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states that the eego amplifier is a "multi-channel, plastic enclosed EEG amplifier" and details its hardware components, including inputs, power sources (battery or USB), and a USB port for computer interface. This indicates it is a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The eego amplifier is described as an EEG amplifier. Its purpose is to acquire electrical signals directly from the human body (specifically, the brain via electrodes on the scalp) and transmit them digitally.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the body. It is directly interacting with the body to measure electrical activity.
Therefore, the eego amplifier falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The eego amplifier is a multi-channel, plastic enclosed EEG amplifier. There are two ranges for the variations of amplifiers (models):
- EE-2xx, and
- EE-4xx.
In total, there are 8 models, as follows:
|Model|EEG Channels (Referential)|Sampling rate configuration (down sampling in API software, internal 32 kHz for all)|Power Source|
|---|---|---|---|
|EE-211|64|2 kHz|Rechargeable battery|
|EE-212|32|2 kHz||
|EE-213|16|2 kHz||
|EE-221|32|16 kHz||
|EE-222|64|16 kHz||
|EE-224|32|16 kHz||
|EE-411|8|2 kHz|USB Connection to Computer|
|EE-430|8|0.5 kHz||
The EE-411 and EE-430 amplifiers are built using identical components and share identical internal structure, functionality and performance.
The eego amplifier electroencephalography (EEG) input is from commercially available EEG electrodes from the Waveguard™ EEG Cap cleared in K110223.
The eego amplifiers support EEG acquisition and storage by:
- referential DC input channels,
- parallel trigger input channel.
Electrode Impedance values can be measured for all referential electrodes, reference and patient ground electrode. Signal sampling rate and gain are set through the user interface of the Software Development Kit (SDK).
The EE-2XX series of eego amplifier is powered by a built-in, rechargeable battery. The battery provides a minimum of 4 hours of operation time. The amplifier can be applied for data acquisition with the 12 V battery charger source applied. The USB port supports interface to the computer running the SDK.
The EE-4XX series of eego amplifier is powered by the USB port connection to a computer.
