The summary describes a computerized, electromechanical device for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and does not mention any AI or ML components in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)" and uses non-invasive magnetic fields to induce electrical currents for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose is for treatment, not diagnosis, i.e., "intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)."
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a mobile console, treatment chair, head support system, coil positioning system, coil, and coil fixture, in addition to the system software. This indicates it is a system with both hardware and software, not a software-only medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- NeuroStar System Function: The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system is a therapeutic device that directly interacts with the patient's brain using magnetic fields to treat a condition (OCD). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
The description clearly states it's a "computerized, electromechanical medical device that produces and delivers non-invasive magnetic fields to induce electrical currents targeting specific regions of the cerebral cortex." This is a description of a treatment device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.

Device Description
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, is a computerized, electromechanical medical device that produces and delivers non-invasive magnetic fields to induce electrical currents targeting specific regions of the cerebral cortex. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients who are suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System has previously obtained FDA clearance for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode (K201158, K161519, K160703, K133408, K130233, K083538, DEN060153/K061053).
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device that was cleared under K193006. Neuronetics has implemented minor labeling enhancements to the software user interface and IFU to implement the OCD workflow. While the stimulation parameters have changed for OCD treatment, no changes alter the technical specifications of the subject device.
Consistent with the primary predicate and predicate devices, the proposed NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, enables direct non-invasive activation of brain structures. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique used to apply brief magnetic pulses to the brain. The pulses are administered by passing high currents through an electromagnetic coil placed adjacent to a patient's scalp. The pulses induce an electric field in the underlying brain tissue. When the induced field is above a certain threshold and is directed in an appropriate orientation relative the brain's neuronal pathway, localized axonal depolarizations are produced, thus activating neurons in the targeted brain structure.

To the right of the letters, there is a stylized star shape formed by three abstract figures with raised arms. The figures are also purple and appear to be connected at the center, creating the star-like design. The overall design is simple and modern.
Device Description / Technological Characteristics:
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, is a computerized, electromechanical medical device that produces and delivers non-invasive magnetic fields to induce electrical currents targeting specific regions of the cerebral cortex. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients who are suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System has previously obtained FDA clearance for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode (K201158, K161519, K160703, K133408, K130233, K083538, DEN060153/K061053).
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device that was cleared under K193006. Neuronetics has implemented minor labeling enhancements to the software user interface and IFU to implement the OCD workflow. While the stimulation parameters have changed for OCD treatment, no changes alter the technical specifications of the subject device.
Consistent with the primary predicate and predicate devices, the proposed NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, enables direct non-invasive activation of brain structures. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique used to apply brief magnetic pulses to the brain. The pulses are administered by passing high currents through an electromagnetic coil placed adjacent to a patient's scalp. The pulses induce an electric field in the underlying brain tissue. When the induced field is above a certain threshold and is directed in an appropriate orientation relative the brain's neuronal pathway, localized axonal depolarizations are produced, thus activating neurons in the targeted brain structure.
Intended Use:
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
The intended use is identical to that of the Primary Predicate Device.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, has the following similarities to the primary predicate (MagVenture TMS Therapy System - K193006) and predicate (NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System - K201158, K161519, K160703, K133408, K130233, K083538, DEN060153/K061053) devices:
- Principles of operation
- Design for delivery of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
- o Output stimulation parameters (pulse width, frequency range, pulse interval range, etc.)
- Materials
The proposed changes for the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, are limited to updates to the IFU and software for user interface and treatment stimulation parameters to facilitate safe and effective treatment of patients with OCD. The proposed changes are supported by information submitted in this premarket notification and with the following rationale:

Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows a logo with the letters "NS" in a bold, sans-serif font, colored in purple. To the right of the letters, there is a stylized graphic that resembles a star or a stylized human figure with outstretched arms. The graphic is also purple and adds a dynamic element to the logo.
- The subject device is substantially equivalent to the FDA-cleared MagVenture TMS Therapy . System (K193006).
- . The predicate device, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, was previously cleared by the FDA under K201158, K161519, K160703, K133408, K130233, K083538, and DEN060153/K061053.
The subject device changes are limited to updates to the IFU and software for user interface and treatment stimulation parameters to facilitate safe and effective treatment of patients with OCD. Therefore, the NeuroStar TMS Therapy System with the proposed changes to the treatment stimulation parameters and labeling is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, consists of components that are similar to those of the primary predicate device, with the exception of the treatment coil construction characteristics. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System coil is equivalent to the primary predicate device in terms of biocompatibility, design elements, such as cable lengths, coil materials, isolation design and functionalities, however, differs in cooling methods and coil winding configuration / surface area. All coils are subject to high-voltage tests and leakage current tests to ensure safety.
To establish substantial equivalency for the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System coil, both modeling and performance testing was conducted. Measurements of the magnetic and electric fields of the MagVenture Cool D-B80 coil and NeuroStar coil were taken according to Section 4 of the FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance document: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Systems.
Measurements of the magnetic field distribution for the Cool D-B80 coil and the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System coil were performed and determined that the magnetic spatial distribution is substantially equivalent. Both the NeuroStar and MagVenture coils are figure 8 designs, both allowing for deep and broad stimulation of the cortex. Information about magnetic field characteristics, including linearity of output level, magnetic field strength gradients, output waveform and magnetic field spatial distribution according to the Special Controls Guidance document, Section 4 as mentioned above were provided. The coil measurements are based on well-established scientific methods using standard scientific instrumentation.
Measurements of the electric field distribution for the Cool D-B80 coil and the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System coil were performed and determined that the linearity of the electric field output and the electric field spatial distributions are substantially equivalent. The coil measurements are based on well-established scientific methods using standard scientific instrumentation.
Secondly, performance testing comparing the subject and primary predicate device was conducted to evaluate the equivalence in safety and performance based upon electric field distribution, stimulation volume, magnetic field distribution, and magnetic flux, pulse timing as required in the FDA Special Controls Guidance Document. Results of the testing demonstrate substantial equivalence and confirm that no new safety or effectiveness issues are introduced.
Based on the measurements summarized above, it is therefore concluded, that the magnetic field and electric field properties of the NeuroStar coil are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device, Cool D-B80.

Conclusion:
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System has the same intended use and indications, principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared primary predicate device. The minor differences noted in the technical characteristics between the coil assemblies do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the subject device is safe and effective for its intended use. Thus, the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, for adjunctive treatment of OCD, is substantially equivalent to the MagVenture TMS Therapy System - for adjunctive treatment of OCD.
