Intended Use
The GE EEG module, E-EEGX, the GE EEG headbox, N-EEGX, and accessories are intended to be used with the compatible CARESCAPE monitors for the monitoring of electroencephalograph (EEG), frontal electromyograph (FEMG), and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) of all hospital patients. The device is intended for use by qualified medical personnel only.
Device Description
The E-EEGX module is a single-width plug-in interface module to be used with CARESCAPE Bx50 V3 patient monitors. It is used with N-EEGX headbox and accessories for monitoring neurophysiological status of all hospital patients by measuring the electroencephalogram (EEG), frontal electromyogram (FEMG) and auditory evoked potentials (AEP). The E-EEGX module is used with the N-EEGX headbox for monitoring of EEG. FEMG. to stimulate the brain with auditory stimuli, and to measure AEP. The E-EEGX module connects to a N-EEGX headbox which further connects to accessories that connect to the patient. The EEG, FEMG and AEP measurements are performed by the N-EEGX headbox. The N-EEGX headbox measures the raw EEG waveform data from four real-time EEG waveform channels, FEMG from one channel and AEP from two channels. The N-EEGX headbox is connected to the patient with EEG accessories. The E-EEGX module transfers the digitized EEG data received from the N-EEGX headbox to the host monitor. The module also generates the stimuli used in the AEP measurement and performs part of the AEP measurement data processing.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a device for monitoring neurophysiological signals (EEG, FEMG, AEP) and performing basic signal processing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as being for "monitoring of electroencephalograph (EEG), frontal electromyograph (FEMG), and auditory evoked potentials (AEP)" which are diagnostic measurements, not treatments.

Yes

The device is intended for monitoring electroencephalograph (EEG), frontal electromyograph (FEMG), and auditory evoked potentials (AEP), which are measurements used to assess a patient's neurophysiological status. These measurements provide information that aids in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components (E-EEGX module, N-EEGX headbox, accessories) that are essential for the device's function of measuring and transferring physiological data. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The GE EEG module, E-EEGX, and its accessories are used for monitoring electroencephalograph (EEG), frontal electromyograph (FEMG), and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) directly from the patient's body. This involves measuring electrical activity and responses within the patient, not analyzing samples taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "monitoring of electroencephalograph (EEG), frontal electromyograph (FEMG), and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) of all hospital patients." This is a direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an IVD.

Dear Joel Kent:

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.
