No
The device is intended for visualization of brain function by fusing EEG and MRI data, which is a diagnostic/analytical purpose, not a therapeutic one. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device is intended for the "visualization of human brain function by fusing a variety of EEG information with rendered images of an individualized head model and an individualized MRI image," which points to aiding in diagnosis. The output is a report containing results of the visualization, supporting a diagnostic function. Additionally, the clinical performance testing involves retrospective data analysis of epilepsy subjects and evaluating source localization results for epileptic spikes, both of which are diagnostic tasks.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "PreOp is medical device software" and describes its function as combining existing data (EEG and MR images) to visualize information. The performance studies focus on software validation and clinical performance based on the software's output, without mentioning any associated hardware components included with the device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- PreOp's Intended Use: PreOp's intended use is for the "visualization of human brain function by fusing a variety of EEG information with rendered images of an individualized head model and an individualized MRI image." This involves analyzing electrical activity from the brain (EEG) and structural images (MRI), not biological specimens.
- Device Description: The device description confirms that the input is "MRI and EEG data," not biological samples. The output is a "report containing the results of the visualization and the ability to evaluate the results in 3D."
Therefore, PreOp falls under the category of a medical device that processes and visualizes physiological and anatomical data, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device that analyzes biological specimens.

Non-Clinical testing Validation and Verification Testing carried out on the PreOp indicates that it meets its predefined product's requirements and requirements from the following product standard: AAMI/ANSI/IEC 62304:2006. Medical Device . Software - Software Life Cycle Processes Clinical Performance In order to compare the source localization performance of Testing - study 1 PreOp as compared to that of the predicate device, a retrospective data analysis of 18 epilepsy subjects aged 3 to 55 who had previously undergone resection surgery was provided. The analysis compared the source localization accuracy of the PreOp software algorithms (i.e., sLORETA with the finite difference model [FDM] using an individualized anatomical MRI) to that of the predicate algorithm (i.e., sLORETA with the finite difference model [FDM] using a idealized anatomical MRI). All subjects had previously undergone a long-term EEG registration prior to resection surgery, had operative data available that described the resected zone, and were determined to be Engel I postoperatively. The study included subjects with temporal and extratemporal resected zones. Each subject's EEG was automatically processed using the FDA approved spike detection algorithm of Persyst and spikes were then grouped according to topographic distribution and then averaged relative to the peak of the spike to increase the signal-tonoise ratio. The average of the most dominant group was used in the source estimate. The time point used in the source estimate was the peak of the spike. The data were then run through the PreOp software algorithms and the predicate algorithm. Three experienced epileptologists were provided the source localization results along with summaries of the postoperative reports and asked to rate whether each of the algorithm solutions (sLORETA with the finite difference model [FDM] using an idealized or individualized anatomical MRI) were concordant on a sublobular level. The results demonstrated that the proposed PreOp algorithms were substantially equivalent to the predicate device algorithm.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical Performance Testing - study 1: retrospective data analysis of 18 epilepsy subjects aged 3 to 55. The analysis compared the source localization accuracy of the PreOp software algorithms (i.e., sLORETA with the finite difference model [FDM] using an individualized anatomical MRI) to that of the predicate algorithm (i.e., sLORETA with the finite difference model [FDM] using a idealized anatomical MRI). The results demonstrated that the proposed PreOp algorithms were substantially equivalent to the predicate device algorithm.
Clinical Performance Testing - study 2: The performance was compared of spike source localization using HD-EEG recordings (128 or 256 electrodes) and Low Density LD-EEG recordings (25 electrodes). By evaluating the source localization results, we found that both algorithms provided identical source locations in 13 epileptic spikes using LD-EEG and HD-EEG recordings in 8 patients. Only in 3 spikes the spike localization was not 100% equivalent but very close to each other.
Software Verification and Validation Testing: Validation testing involved algorithm testing which validated the accuracy of PreOp. The product was deemed fit for clinical use. Usability validation is part of the Clinical Performance data and PreOp was tested and meets the requirements of following standard: AAMI/ANSI/IEC 62366:2007, Medical devices - Application of usability engineering to medical devices.

Table 5.1: Comparison of new device to predicate device
The intended use are the same, and the technological characteristics Summary of Technological are essentially the same, as those of the predicate, K092844, Characteristics GeoSource.
The PreOp device has two different modeling features that the predicate does not have.
First, the predicate device only works with idealized anatomical MR images. The usage of idealized anatomical MR images is however a special case of the more generic modeling framework of PreOp. If an idealized MRI is given to PreOp, an equivalent forward model will be constructed as in GeoSource (see section 20.1 for a comparison). The use of individualized anatomical MR images is implemented as described in the Secondary Predicate Device, K001781. There is no essential difference in technological characteristics between PreOp and the K001781 device since the Finite Element Model is equivalent to the Finite Difference Model from an individualized forward modeling point of view.
Second, a segmentation of CSF, white matter tissue and air has been added. The use of additional tissues does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. See Neuroimage: Clinical 5(2014) 77-83, which concludes that the PreOp modeling of CSF, white matter and air in addition to 3-compartment, scalp, skull and gray matter of the predicate device is substantially equivalent for clinically accurate ESI.
Both the The PreOp and the predicate have the same intended use. Substantial Equivalence Both devices enable visualization of human brain function by fusing a Comparison variety of EEG information with MRI image.
From the standpoint of both functionality and workflow The PreOp device is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate as follows:
- Within The PreOp and its predicate, the user can provide EEG ● input data.
- . The PreOp and its predicate are designed to segment EEG
6
activity and visualize EEG activity in 3D in the brain using an MR image.
- The PreOp and its predicate use externally acquired medical data and user input to achieve the result.
- The intended patient population is > 3 years in both devices.
- Both devices use the standard 10/20 positioning system of the . electrodes and work with a distributed dipole source space.
- . Both devices use the finite difference method for forward modeling and sLORETA as linear inverse source estimation method.
Verification tests were written and executed to ensure that the system is working as designed. The PreOp passed testing and was determined safe and effective for its intended use.
Performance testing data for PreOp is available in the relevant sections of the 510(k) document to support the Substantial Equivalence determination.
