Intended Use
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.
Device Description
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is a computerized, electromechanical medical device that produces and delivers non-invasive, magnetic stimulation using brief duration rapidly alternating, or pulsed, magnetic fields to induce electrical currents directed at spatially discrete regions of the cerebral cortex. This method of cortical stimulation by application of brief magnetic pulses to the head is known as Transcranial Maqnetic Stimulation (TMS). NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is a non-invasive tool for the stimulation of cortical neurons for the treatment of adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is used for patient treatment by prescription only under the supervision of a licensed physician and can be used in both inpatient and outpatient settings including physician's offices, clinics, and hospitals. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy uses a well-understood property of physics regarding the law of electromagnetic induction, which states that a time-varying or moving magnetic field will induce an electric current in an adjacent conductive substance with the electric current traveling in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the magnetic field. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy uses a generated magnetic field as a vector for delivering an electrical current to a tarqet conductor of interest, which in therapeutic application, is the brain. By using this method of delivering electrical current to the brain the electrical current produced in the brain can be delivered in an anatomically focused manner at discrete cortical areas of interest and can avoid areas of the brain that are not relevant for its therapeutic actions. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is an integrated system consisting of a combination of the following components: - Mobile Console for housing the electronics and includes a software . controlled graphical user interface, display monitor, display arm, and gantry that supports the treatment coil. - Ferromagnetic Coil for delivering treatment. . - .

No
The description focuses on the electromechanical and magnetic stimulation aspects of the device, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients" and helps induce electrical currents "for the treatment of adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder." This clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, not for diagnosis. It delivers magnetic stimulation to induce electrical currents for therapeutic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a mobile console, ferromagnetic coil, head support system, and a multi-use consumable. While it includes software components, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • NeuroStar's Function: The NeuroStar system directly interacts with the patient's body (the brain) using magnetic stimulation. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, not for diagnosing or analyzing biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that delivers magnetic pulses to the head to induce electrical currents in the brain. This is a therapeutic intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic process.

Therefore, the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Above the word "Star" is a teal and purple star-shaped design with two people figures. Below the words "NeuroStar" is the phrase "Advanced Therapy for Mental Health".

Proposed Change:

The proposed change to the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is the addition of the a single use wearable device, namely the MT Cap Accessory, which provides an optional method to aid in the Motor Threshold Hunt process (MT Hunt).

lt is only worn during the MT Hunt (prior to the patient's first treatment session) as a quide to facilitate the hunt for the MT location.

The MT Cap outer surface contains a symmetrical grid printed with alternating colors, and includes two intersecting lines which indicate the MT Hunt starting point for coil positioning. The seam on the cap is aligned the patient's nasion and the edge of the cap is positioned above the patient's eyebrows.

The symmetrical grid printed on the outer surface of the MT Cap enables the physician to easily move the coil incrementally in the anterior and posterior directions without having to adjust the A/P Bar.

As pulses are delivered to the patient during the MT Hunt process, the treating physician monitors the patient hand for involuntary movement in exactly the same manner as the current method.

The SOA grid lines are then used to align the coil to deliver pulses in the SOA angle (i.e. medial/lateral directions). When each pulse is delivered, the treating physician is observing the patient hand for involuntary movement in exactly the same manner as the current method.

Intended Use:

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.

Performance Standards:

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system has been tested and conforms with the following recognized consensus standards:

  • IEC60601-1
  • IEC60601-1-2 .
  • ISO 10993-1:2018 .

Non-Clinical Testing:

The contents of this 510(k) complies with the FDA Guidance Document: "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Systems - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff". The non-clinical performance testing of the MT Cap was conducted according to ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.

Additionally, Usability testing was completed in accordance with IEC 60601-1-6:2010, Edition 3.1 and also following the FDA Guidance Document "Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices".

Clinical Testing:

There is no clinical testing required to support this submission.
