Intended Use
HydroPrep and NuPrep are skin preparation materials that are designed for use by EEG Technicians. Both substances are applied to the skin surface with a cotton swab in order to reduce skin impedance and increase signal quality recorded with EEG electrodes. HydroPrep is not intended for use with stimulating electrodes.
Device Description
HydroPrep is a skin preparation solution similar to NuPrep. It is different in that is has more water and more salt that the current formulation. It used the same preservatives and gritty media.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a skin preparation solution and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as a skin preparation material to reduce skin impedance and increase signal quality for EEG electrodes, which assists in diagnostic procedures, not therapeutic ones.

No

Explanation: The device is described as "skin preparation materials" used to "reduce skin impedance and increase signal quality recorded with EEG electrodes." It aids in the acquisition of signals for diagnosis but does not itself diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "skin preparation solution" and "materials," indicating a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prepare the skin surface for EEG electrodes to improve signal quality. This is a topical application for a physiological measurement, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a skin preparation solution applied externally.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
