Intended Use
The Neuromag-122 system is intended for use as a magneto encephalographic (MEG) device which non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. When interpreted by a trained clinician, the data enhances the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active nerve tissue responsible for critical brain functions.
Device Description
This device integrates 122 SQUID planar gradiometers with medical super-computers and data intracelly long in order to measure the differences in the magnetic signals generated by the intracellular dendritic currents. These detectors are positioned in a helmet shaped array which gives the user the ability to record the electrical activity of the entire surface of the brain simultaneously without having to move the position of the probe.

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard MEG device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is intended for diagnostic purposes, specifically to detect and display biomagnetic signals to enhance diagnostic capability by locating active nerve tissue. It does not treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is described as enhancing "the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active nerve tissue responsible for critical brain functions." This indicates its role in aiding diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like "122 SQUID planar gradiometers," "medical super-computers," and a "helmet shaped array," indicating it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Neuromag-122 Function: The Neuromag-122 system is described as a magnetoencephalographic (MEG) device that non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. This involves measuring magnetic fields outside the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Neuromag-122 falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, but not specifically an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Keeler:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 31, 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 application (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. 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.
