Intended Use
HARMONIE™ and Sensa™ is a set of software programs which represent an improved implementation of Stellate Systems' RHYTHM and MONITOR software. The software remains consistent with its original design objectives: - to assist in the scientific analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in the field of human and animal neurophysiology. - to offer digital EEG recording by means of a personal computer and PC-based data acquisition boards. - to assist in the selection of EEG sections of potential interest and offer a variety of display, playback and review capabilities. - to complement the conventional continuous EEG recording, not replace it. The software does not make any judgment of normality of the displayed EEG or the results of an analysis. It is not intended EEG monitoring used in critical care or intra-operative cettings. In no way is the software or its function represented as being in and of itself divenestic

No
The summary explicitly states that the software does not make judgments of normality and is not represented as being diagnostic, which is inconsistent with typical AI/ML applications in this domain. Furthermore, there are no mentions of AI, DNN, ML, training sets, test sets, or performance metrics commonly associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The software is explicitly stated to "assist in the scientific analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG)" and "does not make any judgment of normality of the displayed EEG or the results of an analysis. It is not intended EEG monitoring used in critical care or intra-operative settings. In no way is the software or its function represented as being in and of itself diagnostic." This indicates it's a tool for analysis and research, not for treatment or direct therapeutic intervention.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "In no way is the software or its function represented as being in and of itself diagnostic." The software assists in the scientific analysis of EEG and offers recording and review capabilities, but it does not make judgments of normality or provide diagnoses.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "HARMONIE and Sensa EEG Software" and the intended use describes software programs for EEG analysis and recording using a personal computer and data acquisition boards. While it interacts with hardware (PC, data acquisition boards), the device itself, as described, is the software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the software is for the "scientific analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in the field of human and animal neurophysiology." It also emphasizes that it "does not make any judgment of normality of the displayed EEG or the results of an analysis" and is "not intended EEG monitoring used in critical care or intra-operative settings." Most importantly, it explicitly states, "In no way is the software or its function represented as being in and of itself diagnostic."
  • Lack of Diagnostic Claim: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This software does not perform such tests or provide diagnostic information. It assists in the analysis and review of EEG data.
  • Focus on Analysis and Review: The description highlights features like digital EEG recording, selection of sections of interest, display, playback, and review capabilities. These are tools for analyzing existing data, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided text, the HARMONIE and Sensa software is a tool for neurophysiological research and analysis of EEG data, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Papagiannis:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 4, 1996.

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 (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
