The BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode.
The BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System enables direct non-invasive activation of deep brain structures. 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 to the brain's neuronal pathways, localized axonal depolarizations are produced, thus activating neurons in the targeted brain structure.
The BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System is composed of the following main components:
- Cart
a) TMS Neurostimulator
b) Cooling System
c) Positioning Device - Helmet
a) Aiming Apparatus (i.e., ruler/grid)
b) Electromagnetic Coil (H Coil)
c) Cap
The BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System is identical to the previously cleared BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems.
The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to enable modifications to the device software and expansion of the treatment stimulation protocols, to include the accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol.

The tests were performed according to the FDA Guidance Document Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Systems. These tests included Output Waveform, Electrical Field Spatial Distribution, and Magnetic Field Strength Gradient Testing. The results of the performance tests demonstrated that the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Animal Performance Data / Histology Data:
Not Applicable
Clinical Performance Data:
In order to support an expansion of the treatment stimulation protocols to include the accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol, clinical data was collected in a multicenter, randomized, blinded, controlled study according to the Accelerated iTBS Deep TMS Clinical Study Protocol (Protocol No. CTP-ACCiTBS-00). The study was designed as a prospective, 6 week trial, in which the accelerated iTBS (ACCiTBS) stimulation protocol was compared to the Standard of Care - High Frequency (SOC-HF) stimulation protocol.
104 subjects were enrolled and randomized into the study, of which 89 subjects, who completed the study, were included in the PP analysis set used for the primary endpoint analysis.
The subjects meeting the eligibility criteria in the study had a primary diagnosis of MDD, and had moderate or greater depression, defined as a HDRS-21 ≥20. The mean patient age was 48.6 years (ranging from 23-81 years) and 57% were female and 43% were male.
The primary effectiveness endpoint was the change in HDRS-21 scores from baseline to the 6 week visit. In both study treatment groups, there was a statistically significant
Page 8
reduction in HDRS-21 scores. The adjusted mean change from baseline to 6 weeks in the AcciTBS treatment group was -19.02 points versus -19.79 in the SOC-HF treatment group. The difference between the groups of 0.77 points was not statistically significant (p=0.7783). The upper limit of the one-sided 97.5% CI of the differences between the reduction in HDRS-21 scores was lower than the non-inferiority margin and therefore the study was deemed successful.
The response rate (defined as a 50% reduction from baseline in HDRS-21 score) at 6 weeks was 87.8% [73.80%;95.92%] for the AcciTBS treatment group and 87.5% [74.75%;95.27%] for the SOC-HF treatment group. The remission rate (defined as HDRS-21 score < 10) at the week 6 visit was 78.0% [62.39%; 89.44%] for the AcciTBS treatment group and 87.5% [74.75%; 95.27%] for the SOC-HF treatment group.
Two subjects were stopped due to adverse events, including anxiety and hypomania. These two subjects were incorporated in the ITT multiple imputation sensitivity analysis using a worst-case scenario; these subjects' data were imputed with their baseline total HDRS scores. Results show that there was a statistically significant reduction in HDRS-21 scores between baseline and the 6 weeks visit within each study group, and the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. The adjusted mean change from baseline in the AcciTBS treatment group was -17.7 points at 6 weeks versus -20.11 in the SOC-HF treatment group, the difference between the groups of 2.41 points at 6 weeks (two-sided 95% Confidence interval: [-0.13, 4.95]) was not statistically significant, p=0.0626, demonstrating that the AcciTBS stimulation protocol is equivalent to the SOC-HF stimulation protocol.
For both study groups there was a significant reduction over time in the CGI-S, CGI-I, MADRS, HARS, CUDOS-D, CUXOS-D and Q-LES-Q scores. There was no significant between-group difference in the change from baseline to week 6 for all of these effectiveness assessments.
The two anxiety assessments (HARS and CUXOS-D scores) had decreases demonstrating that the accelerated iTBS treatment provides an improvement in decreasing anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
The adverse events reported in this study are presented above in Table 60 according to system organ class and preferred term according to the medDRA adverse event classification, for each of the study groups.
Application site discomfort and application site pain are common adverse events reported with TMS treatment and were reported in both groups. Application site discomfort occurred in 1 (1.96%) subject in the AcciTB group and in 1 (1.89%) subject in the SOC-HF group. Application site pain occurred in 4 (7.84%) subjects in the AcciTB group and in no subjects in the SOC-HF group. None of the incidents were reported as severe.
Headaches are also common adverse event reported with TMS treatment and were reported
Page 9
in both groups. Headaches occurred in 21 (41.18%) subjects in the AcciTBS group and 8 (15.09%) subjects in the SOC-HF group. None of the headaches reported were classified as severe. No migraines were reported in the AcciTBS group and 2 (3.77%) subjects reported migraines in the SOC-HF group with one of the migraines being classified as severe.
As would be expected in a study with a patient population suffering from MDD, there are bound to be psychiatric disorders reported during the course of the study. Anxiety was reported in 3 (5.88%) subjects, insomnia was reported in 2 (3.92%), hypomania was reported in 1 subject, and panic attack was repored in 1 subject, of the subjects in the AcciTBS group. None of the were classified as severe.
In summary, the main adverse events typical to TMS treatment were reported with similar incidences compared to these events reported in previous clinical studies with the Brainsway Deep TMS™ device and with predicate TMS devices. In this study, there was a higher incidence of adverse events in the AcciTBS treatment group. Notably, application site pain and headaches were reported for more subjects in the AcciTBS group. The discrepancy for these particular AE's between groups is logical given the increased number and frequency of treatments for the subjects in the AcciTBS group. These findings demonstrate the overall safety of the accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol delivered with the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System, for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
The clinical study demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the BrainsWay Deep TMS System, accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol, for treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device has the same intended use and indications for use as the primary predicate, BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems cleared in 510(k) K222196. The subject device and the predicate devices are similar in terms of their intended prescription use only, suitable for MDD population, indicated for anatomical sites according to indications for use and to be used in hospital or clinic settings.
The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems (Models 102 and 104) are composed of the same device components as the previously cleared, predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems (Model 102 and Model 104) (K222196). The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems have the same mechanism of operation and use the same underlying technology as the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems. The performance characteristics, including the Output Waveform, Electrical and Magnetic Field Distribution are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems. The subject devices (Models 102 and 104), as the cleared devices, have the same safety features
Page 10
and comply with the same relevant consensus standards, including software validation. The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ device components are the same as the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ device components, with the only change being the updated stimulator software, the new biocompatible materials from which the cap (worn under the helmet) is manufactured and the additional accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol. Updated software validation documents have been provided to support the software modifications. Updated biocompatibility tests have been provided demonstrating the biocompatibility of the new cap materials.
Clinical data has been provided to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems for the treatment of MDD using the accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol. The clinical data demonstrates that the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System using the accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol are substantially equivalent to the performance of the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems (using the standard of care – high frequency stimulation protocol) for the treatment of MDD and to the clinical treatment outcomes of the Magnus Neuromodulation System (K220177), which also uses an accelerated iTBS stimulation protocol. No new questions of safety and effectiveness have arisen due to the treatment in this additional patient population.
Consequently, it can be concluded that the subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems (Models 102 and 104) are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate, BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems, cleared under 510(k) K222196 and the clinical treatment outcomes are substantially equivalent to those reported for the secondary predicate, Magnus Neuromodulation System (K220177). The similar clinical treatment outcomes with the BrainsWay device are achieved in a method that does not require brain image-guided targeting or automation of the accelerated iTBS protocol, as in the Magnus Neuromodulation System (MNS) device.

Conclusions:
The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems (Models 102 and 104) are substantially equivalent to the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ Systems cleared under 510(k) K222196 and have substantially equivalent clinical treatment outcomes to the Magnus Neuromodulation System (K220177) and therefore, the modified BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System may be legally marketed in the USA.
§ 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.
