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 NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is a transcranial magnetic stimulation device. Specifically, it is a computerized, electromechanical device that produces and delivers non-invasive magnetic fields to induce electrical currents targeting specific regions of the cerebral cortex. 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 region.
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is an integrated system consisting of a combination of the following components:
- Mobile Console
- System Software
- Treatment Chair
- Ferromagnetic Treatment Coil
- Head Support System
- SenStar® Connect Treatment Link & SenStar® Treatment Link
- Treatment Pack (for use with the SenStar® Connect Treatment Link)
- MT Cap
- TrakStar™ Patient Data Management System
- D-Tect™ MT Accessory
- Beam F3 Treatment Pack
- OCD MT Cap
The provided text describes the OCD MT Cap, a single-use wearable device intended to be used as an optional aid during the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Motor Threshold (MT) determination process for the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System.
However, the document specifies that no clinical testing was required to support this submission, as the proposed change (addition of the OCD MT Cap) is considered to not raise any different questions regarding safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device. Therefore, a study proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance is not detailed in this document.
Instead, the document focuses on non-clinical testing and a technological comparison to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Here's a breakdown of the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Since no clinical performance study was conducted to establish diagnostic accuracy metrics, a table showing acceptance criteria for such metrics cannot be provided. The reported "performance" is primarily related to compliance with recognized standards and usability.

Device Description / Technological Characteristics:
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is a transcranial magnetic stimulation device. Specifically, it is a computerized, electromechanical device that produces and delivers non-invasive magnetic fields to induce electrical currents targeting specific regions of the cerebral cortex. 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 region.
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is an integrated system consisting of a combination of the following components:
- Mobile Console •
- . System Software
- . Treatment Chair
- Ferromagnetic Treatment Coil .
- . Head Support System
- . SenStar® Connect Treatment Link & SenStar® Treatment Link
- Treatment Pack (for use with the SenStar® Connect Treatment Link)
- . MT Cap
- . TrakStar™ Patient Data Management System
- . D-Tect™ MT Accessory
- Beam F3 Treatment Pack
- OCD MT Cap
Proposed Change:
The only proposed change to the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is the addition the OCD MT Cap, a single-use wearable device that is intended to be used as an optional aid during the OCD Motor Threshold (MT) determination process. It is only worn by the patient during the MT determination process as a quide to facilitate determination of the patient's unique MT location. The OCD MT Cap outer surface contains a symmetrical gridlines that are centered on the back of the head and stem from a single point. These gridlines enable the clinician to easily move the coil incrementally without the need for manually moving the Anterior/Posterior (A/P) and Superior Oblique Anqle (SOA) indicators to incrementally move the Treatment Coil between MT pulses. As the MT pulses are delivered to the patient during this process, the clinician monitors the patient for involuntary movement in the foot/feet in exactly the same manner as the current method.
There are no changes to the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System nor to any other accessory to the system.

Indications for 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).
Performance Standards:
The OCD MT Cap has been tested and conforms to the following recognized consensus standards:
- . ISO 10993-1
Non-clinical Testing:
The contents of this 510(k) comply 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."
A biocompatibility risk assessment was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and the FDA Guidance Documents "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1 'Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process' and revealed no biocompatibility concerns.
Additionally, usability testing was completed in accordance with FDA Guidance Document: "Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices," using IEC 62366-1 as a quide.
To summarize, the results of verification and validation testing confirmed that the OCD MT Cap can be successfully used to aid clinicians in the MT determination process to determine the patient's unique MT location.
Clinical Testing:
There is no clinical testing required to support this submission.
Conclusion:
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System and the predicate device have the same intended uses and technological characteristics. The use of the optional OCD MT Cap accessory does not raise any different questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
