Intended Use

The EEG Electrode Template is intended for use as an accessory to support the placement of electroencephalograph (EEG) electrodes.

Device Description

The EEG Electrode Template is intended to be used in medical environments where EEG electrode placement is required. The device provides a workflow solution to support application of EEG electrodes. The EEG Electrode Template is made from elastic webbing to conform to various head shapes and sizes. The device has between 16 to 21 holes in predetermined locations that are arranged by generally referencing the 10-20 Positioning System. The EEG Electrode Template is placed on the patient's head and is oriented with its nasion marker and secured with its chinstrap to support positioning of EEG electrodes. The elasticity of the device enables flexibility to account for various head shapes and sizes and to avoid interference with intracranial pressure monitoring, ventricular drainage, or other separate devices. Identical to the predicate (K043009), the subject device is non-invasive, non-sterile, and for single patient use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes information about the Rhythmlink International, LLC EEG Electrode Template (K191225). Based on the text, here's a breakdown of the requested information:

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

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Hole-to-hole spacingAll hole-to-hole spacing was within 5 mm of specifications.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample size: Not explicitly stated. The text mentions "dimensional characterization of the EEG Electrode Template," implying that the testing was performed on a sample of the manufactured device.
  • Data provenance: The data is from non-clinical performance testing of the subject device (EEG Electrode Template) itself. No information about country of origin, retrospective or prospective study is provided as it's not a clinical study involving patients or human data.

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

Not applicable. The ground truth for the non-clinical dimensional characterization was based on the device's specifications, not on expert consensus.

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

Not applicable. This was a non-clinical dimensional test, not a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert opinions.

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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is an EEG electrode template, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and the study was a non-clinical performance test.

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

No, this question is not applicable. The device is a physical template for electrode placement, not an algorithm.

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

The ground truth used for the performance testing was the device's own specifications for hole-to-hole spacing.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no training set.

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

Not applicable.

Dear Gabriel Orsinger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

{1}------------------------------------------------

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
