Intended Use

The EEG NeuroAmp II.5s is intended to acquire, display, store and archive the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from a patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head. It must be used in combination with appropriate software and computer. The EEG NeuroAmp II.5s is also intended to be used to provide stimulation and recording of visual and auditory evoked response potentials with appropriate software, computer, and accessories.

The EEG NeuroAmp II.5s can also be used for biofeedback and relaxation purposes of this training task, information for feedback may be derived from the electroencephalographic signals and from as many as eight channels of peripheral physiology measures such as are conventionally used in biofeedback.

The EEG NeuroAmp II.5s is intended to be used only by trained professionals who can ensure sound handling practices. The device is intended for use in clinical environments (not surgical or emergency environments) as well as in medical and therapeutic practices. It can be used with patients of all ages but is not designed for fetal use.

The device does not draw any diagnostic conclusion. Recorded data of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals or event related potentials (ERPs) need to be interpreted by a clinical expert. The results of such interpretation must be considered only in conjunction with other clinical findings.

Device Description

The EEG NeuroAmp II.5s is a user-friendly high-performance interface between client and clinician computer. It can be used in two different functionalities: In an EEG/ERP measurement and in an EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) and/or peripheral biofeedback setting. The EEG NeuroAmp 11.5s device itself contains three function blocks:

    1. EEG amplifier, two channels, interface for 23- or 39-channel EEG recording front-end
    1. Impedance meter function
    1. peripheral channels for additional sensors, ERP synchronization and biofeedback

Apart from the EEG-biofeedback functionality, together with the x23/x39 accessories, it is possible to utilize the equipment as an EEG/ERP measurement device. A 23- or 39-channel EEG can be measured with conventional EEG caps, which are not part of the device, according to the standard 10-20 system. The device does not draw any diagnostic conclusions and does not invite the clinician to do so. Recorded data of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals need to be interpreted by a clinical expert. The results of such interpretation must be considered in conjunction with other clinical findings to provide context. There is no therapeutic effect of the EEG NeuroAmp II.5s used in this setting.

The NeuroAmp x23/x39 devices are a full 23-/39-channel digital EEG recording front-end with integrated impedance meter. They are an accessory to the EEG NeuroAmp 11.5s and work only in conjunction with it.

AI/ML Overview

The Corscience EEG NeuroAmp II.5s is an electroencephalograph device that functions for EEG/ERP measurement and biofeedback. The device received 510(k) clearance based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness through performance testing against relevant IEC and ISO standards.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the EEG NeuroAmp II.5s are implicitly defined by its performance against the specified technical requirements, which are shown to be equivalent or superior to predicate devices. The "Discussion on safety and effectiveness" column in the comparative table effectively serves as the acceptance criteria and performance review.

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

The document does not describe a clinical study with a "test set" of patient data for the device to be evaluated. The performance testing conducted was:

  • Electrical Safety: Bench testing according to IEC 60601-1.
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility: Bench testing according to IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-26.
  • Performance Testing (Hardware): Bench testing in accordance with internal requirements and applicable clauses of IEC 62366-1, IEC 80601-2-26, and IEC 60601-2-40.

The accessorizes were also tested to ISO 10993-1, IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Therefore, there is no mention of sample size or data provenance in terms of patient data.

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

This information is not applicable as there was no test set of patient data requiring expert ground truth establishment. The device capabilities were verified through technical bench testing against established engineering standards and specifications.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not applicable as there was no test set of patient data requiring adjudication.

5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study

No MRMC study was performed or described. The study focused on technical equivalence and performance against predicate devices and standards, not on human reader performance with or without AI assistance. The device does not draw any diagnostic conclusion and requires interpretation by a clinical expert.

6. Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study

No standalone performance study of an algorithm was conducted or described. The device is a hardware system for acquiring, displaying, storing, and archiving EEG signals, with capabilities for biofeedback and evoked response potentials. It's explicitly stated that the device "does not draw any diagnostic conclusion" and "Recorded data... need to be interpreted by a clinical expert."

7. Type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for evaluating the EEG NeuroAmp II.5s was based on:

  • Adherence to international electrical safety and EMC standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-26, ISO 10993-1 for accessories).
  • Compliance with device-specific performance standards for electroencephalographs and evoked response equipment (IEC 80601-2-26, IEC 60601-2-40).
  • Comparison of technical specifications against legally marketed predicate devices (Mitsar EEG K143233, Natus Brain Monitor K180290, EEG NeuroAmp K073557) to demonstrate substantial equivalence and often superior performance.

8. Sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable as the device is a medical measurement instrument and not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set of data.

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

This information is not applicable as there was no training set of data.

The cable that connects the x23/x39 devices to the EEG NeuroAmp 11.5s may be up to 3m long allowing for flexibility for the arrangement of the recording environment.

The front-connector interfaces directly with all typically available EEG cap systems. Ground, ear electrodes and two additional channels are available at the top panel of the device for convenient connection of standard electrodes.

In case of an event related potential (ERP) recording, the ERP task is presented to the client on a second monitor. The Sync-Box is connected to the second screen to record a visual signal for task presentation synchronization and to the audio output. An event button is connected to the Sync-Box to align the clients' reaction to the presented tasks. The following figure shows a schematic of the whole system with all connections. Please note: EEG cap, computer and speakers are not part of the device and must be purchased from external sources.

11.2. EEG-Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) Functionality

The EEG NeuroAmp II.5s and its predicate device EEG NeuroAmp (K073557) have the same functionality and similar technical data. The technical data of the EEG NeuroAmp II.5s are superior to those of the EEG NeuroAmp and it has more peripheral channels. In addition, the EEG NeuroAmp II.5s can be equipped to be a 23- or 39-channel EEG recording device by connecting the NeuroAmp x23/x39 accessories. The differences in technical data between the subject and predicate device are listed in the table below. The neurofeedback functionality of both devices is the same.
