Yes
The device description explicitly mentions "proprietary software informed by structural and functional MRI and designed to identify the individualized target within the L-DLPFC for stimulation," which strongly suggests the use of AI/ML for image analysis and target identification. The name "SAINT Technology" (Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy) also includes the word "Intelligent," further supporting the presence of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
The device is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), not for diagnosis. It is a non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) system designed to deliver magnetic pulses for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system "consists of hardware devices (stimulator with treatment coil and neuronavigation system)" in addition to proprietary software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Magnus Neuromodulation System with SAINT Technology is a non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) system. It delivers magnetic pulses to the brain to treat Major Depressive Disorder. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of MDD, not for the diagnosis of MDD or any other condition through the analysis of biological samples.
The device uses imaging (MRI) to guide the treatment, but the treatment itself is a physical intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Magnus Neuromodulation System with SAINT Technology is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.

Device Description
The Magnus Neuromodulation System (MNS) with SAINT Technology is a non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) system that delivers individualized and navigationally directed repetitive magnetic pulses to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. The MNS with SAINT Technology is available for prescription use only and is intended for use by trained medical professionals in either an inpatient or outpatient setting. The Magnus Neuromodulation System consists of hardware devices (stimulator with treatment coil and neuronavigation system) intended to deliver SAINT Technology; that is, rTMS (as intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS)) to a target area within the L-DLPFC along with proprietary software informed by structural and functional MRI and designed to identify the individualized target within the L-DLPFC for stimulation. Also included in the system are a coil and monitor for motor threshold determination, which is used to inform patient-specific stimulation settings. SAINT Technology is the combination of using the specific individualized target for treatment along with a proprietary accelerated treatment protocol that condenses treatment to five days. The Magnus Neuromodulation System is designed to support successful delivery of SAINT Technology.

§ 882.5805 Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation system.
(a)
Identification. A repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation system is an external device that delivers transcranial repetitive pulsed magnetic fields of sufficient magnitude to induce neural action potentials in the prefrontal cortex to treat the symptoms of major depressive disorder without inducing seizure in patients who have failed at least one antidepressant medication and are currently not on any antidepressant therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation System.” See § 882.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Treatment Protocol Comparison: The Magnus Neuromodulation System with SAINT Technology utilizes the same type of treatment (intermittent theta burst stimulation/iTBS) as the predicate device but with more pulses (90,000 vs. 18,000) delivered over a shorter period of time (five days vs. six weeks) thus allowing for a more rapid response and more flexibility in terms of where treatment can be delivered; the more compressed schedule makes acute inpatient treatment more feasible.

Table 4: Summary of Demographic and Effectiveness Data for Clinical Studies Performed with SAINT Technology Compared to the Predicate iTBS (THREE-D)
11
*The predicate device, Nexstim Navigated Brain Therapy (NBT) System 2, relied on the THREE-D Clinical Study data for clearance, via its own predicate (K173620).
Note: The clinical performance data for the Magnus Neuromodulation System (MNS) with SAINT Technology were obtained from a total of 70 patients enrolled in four clinical trials (one randomized double-blind, sham-controlled study and three open-label studies) conducted in close geographical proximity. As a result of studies being performed at a single site, generalizability to the broader United States population has not been evaluated.
Note: The Magnus Neuromodulation System (MNS) with SAINT Technology has been evaluated at four weeks post treatment in all four clinical trials. Effectiveness has not been established beyond the timepoints evaluated in the four clinical studies.
Note: Blinding Assessment Study #3
The adequacy of blinding utilized in the investigation was assessed by asking participants to guess their treatment allocation and to report their confidence in their guess (on a scale of 1 to 5) on the last day of treatment. This guess and confidence level were translated to a guess metric that ranged from 0 (participant had full confidence that he or she received the sham treatment) to 1 (participant had full confidence he or she received the active treatment). Twenty-three (23) participants provided guesses as to which treatment they received, and 19 indicated their confidence in their guess. One-way t tests indicated no significant differences from chance (chance guess metric=0.50) in the sham (mean guess metric=0.39, p=0.56) and active (mean guess metric=0.43, p=0.52) treatment groups. Because not all participants indicated their confidence in their guess, binomial tests were also used to determine whether the number of correct guesses exceeded chance. Binomial tests indicated no significant differences from chance in proportion of correct guesses in the sham (6 of 10 correct, p=0.38) and active (7 of 13 correct, p=0.50) treatment groups. Finally, linear regression analysis detected no relationship between the guess metric and the change in depression severity as indicated by magnitude of proportional change in MADRS scores (=0.11. p=0.66). Since only 19 of 29 participants completed both parts of the blinding assessment. uncertainty remains as to the adequacy of the blinding for the remainder of the study population.
Adverse events from the Study #3 active treatment arm and the open label study (Study #4) of SAINT are listed in Table 5 below along with the adverse events reported in the THREE-D iTBS Study. (Note that Study #1 and Study #2 are not shown in the table, because these universitybased studies did not formally tabulate non-serious adverse events; zero serious adverse events were observed in either study.) All the adverse events reported for SAINT are similar to those
12
reported for THREE-D iTBS in type and incidence with the exception that fatigue is reported more frequently with SAINT, likely because of the increased time spent in the clinic for the five days of SAINT treatment. Notably, rates of fatigue were the same for active and sham SAINT groups.
