The REMI-AI Discrete Detection Module (REMI-AI DDM) is indicated for the analysis of REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. REMI-AI DDM is intended to be used by physicians qualified to analyze and interpret EEG who will exercise professional judgment in using the information.
As an aide to the qualified physician's REMI EEG review, REMI-AI DDM marks previously acquired sections of REMI EEG that may correspond to neurological events of interest indicative of potential electrographic seizures lasting at least 10 seconds in duration. REMI-AI DDM is indicated for use with adult and pediatric patients (6+ years).
REMI-AI DDM does not mark REMI EEG records in real time and does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition to the user.
REMI-Al Discrete Detection Module (REMI-AI DDM) is a software as a medical device (SaMD) that automatically identifies and annotates discrete seizure-like events in previously acquired electroencephalography (EEG) traces to aid a qualified physician in their review of REMI EEG records. REMI-AI DDM analyzes previously acquired EEG data from 4-channel recordings obtained from bilateral, bipolar scalp EEG recordings at both the frontal and temporoparietal regions, collected and stored by the REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System. REMI-AI DDM analyzes EEG recordings and detects regions of the data that may correspond to electrographic seizures lasting at least 10 seconds in duration. These regions are annotated in the REMI EEG file as discrete events and are provided to assist in REMI EEG review.

Study Details
-
Test Set Sample Size and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: 50 patient records (31 with consensus-determined electrographic seizures, 19 with no consensus-determined electrographic seizures). This included 87 consensus-determined electrographic seizures lasting at least 10 seconds.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). However, the data was collected from patients wearing REMI wireless EEG sensors alongside standard-of-care 19-channel, full-montage, video-EEG in Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMUs) or during at-home ambulatory EEG monitoring. The study design suggests retrospective use of this collected data for validation.
-
Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Test Set):
- Number of Experts: 3 independent expert epileptologists for panel review, selected from a panel of 6.
- Qualifications: Holding certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology or certification by the American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology with Special Competency in Epilepsy Monitoring.
-
Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Method: Consensus ground truth was established using 2 out of 3 (2+1, if referring to a single round of review among three) members identifying the presence or absence of an electrographic seizure event from the wired EEG records.
-
Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly done or reported in the provided text to show the effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. The clinical validation focuses on the standalone performance of the AI algorithm.
-
Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only):
- Yes, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop) performance study was done. The reported Event-Level Sensitivity and False Alarm Rate (FAR) are direct measures of the REMI-AI DDM algorithm's performance in identifying electrographic seizures.
-
Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Expert Consensus: The ground truth for both training and validation was established through panel review by independent expert epileptologists based on standard 19+channel wired 10-20 montage EEG records acquired concurrently with the REMI 4-channel EEG.
-
Training Set Sample Size:
- 108 patient records (73 seizure patients, 35 non-seizure patients).
- This included a total of 562 electrographic seizures used for training.
-
How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established:
- Similar to the validation set, the ground truth for the training set was established by panel review of standard 19+channel wired 10-20 montage EEG records concurrently acquired with REMI 4-channel EEG. The same criteria of consensus (at least 2 of 3 experts) identifying the presence or absence of an electrographic seizure event would apply, as described in the "Clinical Reference" section for generating a reference standard for REMI-AI DDM.

9. Clinical Study
EEG data from adult and pediatric patients was used to 1) train the REMI-AI DDM algorithm to identify potential electrographic seizure events in a broad patient population, and 2) validate the REMI-AI DDM algorithm's ability to identify potential electrographic seizure events within an indicated patient population.
Patients at these sites wore REMI wireless EEG sensors at bilateral frontal and temporoparietal scalp sites alongside standard-of-care 19-channel, full-montaqe, video-EEG for up to 7 continuous days in Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMUs) or for up to 3 continuous days during athome ambulatory EEG monitoring.
EEG data used to generate a reference standard for REMI-AI DDM was collected from standard 19+channel wired 10-20 montage EEG records acquired concurrently with REMI 4-channel EEG. Prior to inclusion in the validation data set, all subjects' EEG records underwent panel review by 3 independent expert epileptologists. Experts consisted of a panel of 6 epileptologists, holding certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology or certification by the American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology with Special Competency in Epilepsy Monitoring. Consensus ground truth electrographic seizure negative determinations were made using the wired EEG records when at least 2 of 3 members identified the presence or absence of an electrographic seizure event.
The REMI-AI DDM validation data set consisted of 31 patient records with 87 consensusdetermined electrographic seizures lasting at least 10 seconds in duration, and 19 patient records with no consensus-determined electrographic seizures, for a total validation sample size

11. Clinical Validation
REMI-AI DDM validation was evaluated against a combined primary endpoint of Sensitivity > 70% and of a False Alarm Rate (FAR) < 0.35 FP/hr. REMI-AI DDM clinical validation testing demonstrated that REMI-AI DDM achieved Event-Level Sensitivity > 70% (with a calculated 95% Cl lower bound of 79.5%) and FAR < 0.35 False Positives (FP)/hr (with a calculated Cl upper bound of 0.221 FP/hr).
Across all 31 patients with seizures, the event-level Sensitivity was 86.2%. The Mean Per-Patient Sensitivity was determined to be 92.2%, with a 95% Cl Lower Bound of 86.5%, and ranged between 50% to 100%. Per-Patient Sensitivity was 100% for 23 of the 31 patients. At least one known event was detected for all 31 patients with seizures.
Across all 50 patients, the event-level FAR was 0.162 FP/hr (with 415 FP for 2.562.5 hours of data). The Mean Per-Patient FAR was determined to be 0.176 FP/hr, with a 95% Cl Upper Bound of 0.230, and ranged between 0 to 0.929 FP/hr. There were 17 patients with FARs ≤ 0.08 FP/hr, 8 patients with no more than one FP (including 4 non-seizure patients), and 4 patients with no FP, including 2 non-seizure patients.

12. Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP)
The REMI-AI DDM has been cleared by the US FDA with an Authorized PCCP. The REMI-AI DDM Authorized PCCP outlines authorized modifications intended to improve algorithm performance through expansion of the training data and/or through optimizations of the algorithm. The Authorized PCCP outlines REM-Al DDM's data management practices (i.e., how data is collected, annotated, curated, stored, retained, controlled, and used), re-training practices, how and when its performance is evaluated.
The Authorized PCCP also defines validation requirements for all algorithm updates. Prior to release, modifications are validated through testing against a previously established validation data set as well as an updated validation data set. Updates to REMI-AI DDM will be

implemented per the Authorized PCCP and through the Software Update process described in the user manual. Epitel will update the user manual following implemented changes and notify customers of software updates and of any changes they may experience, and these changes will be described in release notes viewable on the Epitel website.
13. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The REMI-AI Discrete Detection Module (DDM) subject device has the same intended use, similar indications for use and incorporates the same fundamental technology as the legally marketed predicate device to which it was compared, Persyst 14 EEG Review and Analysis Software. Based on intended use, technological characteristics, and performance testing, it can be concluded that the subject device, REMI-AI DDM, is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
