Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.
The MagVenture Coil T65 is a figure-of-eight, actively cooled coil designed for use in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy as part of the MagVenture TMS Therapy System. The system delivers magnetic pulses for generating evoked responses, assessing motor thresholds (MT), and administering therapeutic treatments.
The T65 is a redesign of the treatment coil Cool-B65, to include the motor threshold (MT) determination capability of the C-B60 coil. This reduces the need for coil exchange during patient sessions, supporting a more streamlined workflow for clinicians.
The T65 incorporates several ergonomic and functional enhancements compared to the existing coil:
- Integrated intensity control wheel allowing direct manual adjustment of stimulation output.
- Built-in trigger button with LED status indication to display coil readiness.
- Reduced weight for improved maneuverability and ease of use.
- Strain relief mechanisms at both the coil and connector ends to improve durability and reduce cable stress.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the T65 Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation System does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of AI/algorithm performance.
This document is a Special 510(k) submission, which signifies that the device (T65 coil) is a modification of an existing cleared device (Cool-B65 coil) and that the modifications do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The core of such a submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Specifically, the document states:
- "No clinical testing is required to support this submission." This explicitly indicates that no comparative effectiveness study (like an MRMC study) or standalone performance study was performed or needed.
- The comparison focuses on technological characteristics (weight, integrated intensity control, trigger button, materials, electrical safety, etc.) and states that these differences "does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the existing device."
- The non-clinical testing focuses on compliance with general safety and performance standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 13485, ISO 14971) and ensuring magnetic field characteristics are within a ±5% tolerance of the predicate device. This is a performance verification of the physical device components, not an AI or algorithm performance evaluation.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, or AI performance metrics because this information is not present in the provided text. The device is a physical medical device (a TMS coil), not an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic algorithm.
§ 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.
