The 510(k) summary describes a disposable EEG electrode array and its intended use for acquiring and recording EEG signals. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device is a passive component for signal acquisition.
No
The NeuroCap is an EEG electrode array used for recording brain activity, not for treating any condition. Its intended use is diagnostic, for routine clinical and research settings where recording of STAT EEGs is desired.
No
The NeuroCap is an electrode array for recording EEGs. While EEG acquisition can be part of a diagnostic process, the device itself is a data acquisition tool and does not interpret or diagnose conditions. It is stated to be used with a separate "Neuro EEG Device" for acquisition and recording.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "disposable electrodes system made of polycarbonate-based film with applied conductive paths and sensors," which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the NeuroCap (Model DEC22) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- NeuroCap's Function: The NeuroCap is an electrode array that is placed on the scalp (cutaneous surface) to record electrical activity of the brain (EEG). This is a non-invasive procedure that measures signals directly from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for recording STAT EEGs in clinical and research settings. This is a diagnostic procedure performed on the patient, not on a specimen taken from the patient.
Therefore, the NeuroCap falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
NeuroCap is a disposable electrodes system made of polycarbonate-based film with applied conductive paths and sensors. Each Ag/AgCl sensor is equipped with a sponge that is coated with a conductive gel for providing sensor contact with the scalp (cutaneous) surface. NeuroCap is fixed on the patient by means of adhesive tape and Velcro. NeuroCap could be connected to a signal amplifier directly or via a special adapter. (The adapter will not be included in the subject device.) The practical application of the NeuroCap is in electroencephalography.
The NeuroCap disposable electrode system has 19 active channels. The headband of the device is nonsterile and disposable for single patient use. The NeuroCap is designed to be used with the Neuro EEG Device (K173460) for EEG acquisition and recording. The Neuro EEG Device is sold separately.
NeuroCap is intended for prescription use in healthcare facilities or clinical research environments. NeuroCap is not intended for current stimulation and must be used by qualified personnel.

Comparison in Detail(s):
Note 1: (Indications for Use)
Although there are some slight differences in the "Indications for Use" between the subject device and predicate devices, all devices are indicated for use in patients that need the rapid placement of electrodes for EEG. No significant differences exist between the subject and predicate devices.
Note 2: (Intended Use)
Although there are some slight differences in the wording of the "Intended Use" between the subject device and predicate devices are used for similar purposes in similar patient populations. No significant differences exist between the subject and predicate devices.
Note 3: (Number of Contacts)
7
The subject device has 22 contacts. The NeuroCap DEC18 (predicate #1) has 18 contacts. The electrode material of these contacts is identical. The second predicate device (WAVi™ Headset ) was included in this submission because it contains 22 contacts which is the same number as the subject device. The differences in the number of contacts listed above do not represent a significant difference between the subject and predicate devices.
Note 4: (Number of Recording Channels)
Like the explanation in Note 3 above; the subject device has 19 recording channels. The NeuroCap DEC18 (predicate #1) has 16 recording channels. The second predicate device (WAVI™ Headset) has 19 recording channels which is the same number as the subject device. The differences in the number of recording channels listed above do not represent a significant difference between the subject and predicate devices.
Note 5: (Electrode Material)
Some differences exist between the materials of the subject device and predicate devices. Although differences in materials exist, the function of the electrodes in each device is the same. These differences are not significant and do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns.
Conclusion :
The subject device has all features of the predicate devices. The slight differences between subject device and predicate devices do not raise any new safety and effectiveness concerns. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K172866 and K162460).
