The description focuses on the physical characteristics of an EEG electrode cap and electrodes, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device is described as an EEG electrode set intended for "routine clinical settings where rapid placement of large number of EEG electrodes is desired." Its primary function is for recording EEG signals, not for providing a therapeutic treatment.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an "EEG electrode set intended for routine clinical settings where rapid placement of large number of EEG electrodes is desired." EEG (Electroencephalography) is a diagnostic procedure used to record the electrical activity of the brain. Therefore, an EEG electrode set is a component used in a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as an elastic textile cap, Ag/AgCl electrodes, and a chinstrap, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Delphi MCS Electrode Cap is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Delphi MCS Electrode Cap Function: The Delphi MCS Electrode Cap is an EEG electrode set. It is used to measure electrical activity directly from the surface of the head (the scalp). This is an in vivo measurement (within the living body), not an in vitro measurement (outside the living body).
- Intended Use: The intended use is for routine clinical settings where rapid placement of EEG electrodes is desired for recording brain electrical activity. This is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
Therefore, the Delphi MCS Electrode Cap falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Delphi MCS Electrode Cap is made of elastic textile material, preserving the shape and size. The cap provides the exact position of the electrodes on the head without the need for additional measurements and adjustments. Large holes are provided for ventilation and access to the electrodes and patient's skin. The cap is fixed to the head with a chinstrap. The Cap is available in the following sizes: XL 60-66cm, XL/L 57-63cm, L 54-60cm, L/M 51-57cm, M 48-54cm. The textile caps sizes are identifiable by the color material or seam and marking according to international system 10-20.
The Ag/AgCl electrodes are designed to provide minimal polarization and long-term stability of the signal.
The conductive surface of the electrodes which is housed inside the electrode base does not have direct skin contact; an electrically conductive substance (hydrogel) is used inside the electrode base for improved conductivity.
Delphi Cap electrodes are thin cup Ag/AgCl sintered electrode for EEG recording. The electrodes are designed for maximum comfort while the patient in a supine position. The design of this electrode is suitable for conducting combined TMS-EEG studies. The Ag/AgCl sintered electrode material guarantees minimum polarization and long-term signal stability, as well as an increased electrode life.

Dear Bosmat Friedman-Cox:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

6 DISCUSSION
Based on the comparison presented in our submission, the Delphi MCS Electrode Cap shares the same indications for use as its predicate, as both are intended for rapid placement of a large number of EEG electrodes. Additionally, while some technological differences do exist between the subject device and its predicate, testing have demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate and that the technological differences do not raise new safety and effectiveness concerns and support the company's substantial equivalency claim.
7 PERFORMANCE DATA
The Delphi MCS Electrode Cap underwent successful nonclinical bench tests to establish substantially equivalent performance. Performance tests included:
- Biocompatibility:
- o Cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5:2009
- Sensitization per ISO 10993-10:2021 o
- o Irritation per ISO 10993-23:2021
- Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1 -
- Use cycle reliability and durability testing (resistance, noise, impedance, durability and repeated cleaning cycles)
- -AC Impedance
- Offset Voltage -
- Combined offset instability and internal noise -
- Bias current tolerance -

The biocompatibility evaluation was conducted within the risk management framework and in compliance with ISO 10993 standards. This evaluation of the device included relevant data sources related to biological safety of finished device testing, and component material history of safe biological use and testing. This biocompatibility evaluation establishes the biological safety for the Delphi MCS Electrode Cap.
The results of the performance bench testing support the safety profile of the device and demonstrate that the device functions as intended.

CONCLUSION 8
The Delphi CMS Electrode Cap has similar intended use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate. Any differences between the subject and predicate device were evaluated through design verification and validation testing which demonstrated device performance and safety, and do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Based on the information submitted in this 510(k), the Delphi MCS Electrode Cap is substantially equivalent to the predicate Electro-Cap System.
