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
HARMONIE and Sensa EEG Software
The provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the "Harmonie and Sensa EEG Software." It details the device's classification, regulation, and general controls, but it does not contain information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications.
The letter explicitly states: "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." This implies that the device's performance was not evaluated against specific acceptance criteria in a standalone study, but rather its equivalence to existing predicate devices was established.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based solely on the text provided. The document focuses on regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence, not on the results of a detailed performance study with acceptance criteria.

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. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
