No
The device description focuses on data acquisition and storage, with analysis performed on a separate personal computer by a medical practitioner. There is no mention of automated analysis or algorithms that would suggest AI/ML.
No.
The device is solely intended for acquiring and recording EEG data for later review and analysis, not for providing direct therapeutic intervention or treatment.
Yes
The device is intended to acquire EEG data, which is then reviewed and analyzed by a medical practitioner to interpret the system's output and make clinical judgments, indicating its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a portable, battery-powered digital EEG data recorder, a hip belt, a removable hard disk drive, a battery pack, and a charger. While software is used for data review, analysis, and system utilities on a separate personal computer, the core medical device itself is a hardware system for acquiring and recording EEG data.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
- Satellite's Function: The Satellite device described here is an EEG (Electroencephalography) data recorder. It acquires electrical signals directly from the patient's scalp (in vivo) to measure brain activity. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
The device is clearly described as a system for recording physiological data directly from the patient, which falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Satellite is intended to record EEG data while a patient is ambulatory or at home, and is intended to involve competent human intervention before any impact on human health occurs (i.e., clinical judgment and experience must be used to check and interpret the system's output). The device does not obscure information or data that is available to the user; it does not eliminate the use of complementary information, such as patient history information, laboratory results, and other tests; it does not change the intended use of the predicate device or similar devices; it does not create new or different indications for use for the predicate device or similar devices: and, except for recording data to assist a medical practitioner in diagnosing EEG-related conditions (such as epilepsy), it does not diagnose, treat, prevent, cure, or mitigate any illness, disease or condition. Moreover, because the device primarily records EEG data for review at a later date, and therefore provides ample opportunity for the clinician to cross-check results and perform additional tests, any failure of the device to perform as intended would be extremely unlikely to significantly alter or delay the treatment of any patient, or contribute to any injury or adverse health effect.
The Satellite is intended to acquire EEG data from patients that are stationary or ambulatory, regardless of whether they are inside or outside a medical-care facility.

Device Description
The Satellite is a portable, battery-powered, digital electroencephalographic (EEG) data recorder that is designed to be carried in a hip belt worn by the patient. The intended use of this device is to record the patient's EBG while the patient is ambulatory or at home. Recorded EEG data is stored in a removable hard disk drive, which the medical practitioner can then remove from the data recorder and connect to a standard personal computer. The personal computer is then used to review and analyze the EEG data, generate reports, and provide longer-term storage for the EEG data. The personal computer also performs various system utility functions on the data recorder, such as programming the user-selectable parameters, and measuring the electrical impedance of the EEG electrode connections. A battery pack and charger also accompany the data recorder. These items are designed so the battery pack cannot be recharged while it is powering the data recorder, so the data recorder (which may be attached to the patient) cannot be connected to the AC-powered charger. The device is intended to complement Nicolet's existing line of EEG systems, including the Voyageur digital EEG system (K921927B) and BMSI long-term EEG monitoring system (K891405A). Neither of these devices currently provides the capability for ambulatory or athome EEG data recording, however, both will record and playback EEG data that is similar to the data recorded by the Satellite.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Nonclinical tests consisted of using the device to record EEG test data derived from actual human EEG recordings, and included examples of actual seizures, spikes, seizure-like artifacts, and non-seizure waveforms. Test results are summarized below in paragraph (b)(3).
Clinical tests were deemed unnecessary for purposes of validating the device's ability to perform its intended use, because non-clinical tests appeared clearly superior to any clinical tests that could be developed. Nevertheless, clinical tests were performed to solicit comments from actual users and to assess the performance of the device under actual-use conditions. There were no adverse effects or complications affecting patients, and the device performed substantially as expected.
Even though the predicate devices identified in (a)(3) were not available for direct comparison testing, results of testing the Satellite showed that it was substantially equivalent, in terms of safety and effectiveness, to the specifications published for the predicate devices. In addition, the nonclinical and clinical test results for the Satellite showed that it was substantially equivalent, in terms of safety and effectiveness, to much larger Nicolet EEG products, including the BMSI long-term EEG monitoring system (K891405A).

from the predicate device, an explanation of why the differences are not critical to the intended use when the device is used as labeled.
The Satellite is intended to record EEG data while a patient is ambulatory or at home, and is intended to involve competent human intervention before any impact on human health occurs (i.e., clinical judgment and experience must be used to check and interpret the system's output). The device does not obscure information or data that is available to the user; it does not eliminate the use of complementary information, such as patient history information, laboratory results, and other tests; it does not change the intended use of the predicate device or similar devices; it does not create new or different indications for use for the predicate device or similar devices: and, except for recording data to assist a medical practitioner in diagnosing EEG-related conditions (such as epilepsy), it does not diagnose, treat, prevent, cure, or mitigate any illness, disease or condition. Moreover, because the device primarily records EEG data for review at a later date, and therefore provides ample opportunity for the clinician to cross-check results and perform additional tests, any failure of the device to perform as intended would be extremely unlikely to significantly alter or delay the treatment of any patient, or contribute to any injury or adverse health effect.
(6) Comparison between the technological characteristics of the new and predicate devices, such as design, material, chemical composition, energy source, etc.
The technological characteristics of the new and predicate devices are virtually identical. Each device relies on a portable battery-powered data recorder to store up to 24 hours of a patient's EEG data in a digital format onto a standard (PCMCIA-type) removable hard-disk drive. Each device is small, lightweight, and intended for ambulatory use. Each device has a similar bandwidth and channel count, a similar time- and amplitude-resolution, and a similar set of user-adjustable parameters. Each device has similar performance specifications, and is designed to comply with substantially the same voluntary performance standards.

(1) Brief discussion of nonclinical tests.
Nonclinical tests consisted of using the device to record EEG test data derived from actual human EEG recordings, and included examples of actual seizures, spikes, seizure-like artifacts, and non-seizure waveforms. Test results are summarized below in paragraph (b)(3).
(2) Brief discussion of clinical tests including, if applicable, a description of the subjects, a discussion of safety or effectiveness data obtained, a discussion of any adverse effects or complications, and any other relevant information.
Clinical tests were deemed unnecessary for purposes of validating the device's ability to perform its intended use, because non-clinical tests appeared clearly superior to any clinical tests that could be developed. Nevertheless, clinical tests were performed to solicit comments

from actual users and to assess the performance of the device under actual-use conditions. There were no adverse effects or complications affecting patients, and the device performed substantially as expected.
(3) Conclusions drawn from nonclinical and clinical tests that demonstrate that device is as safe and effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device identified in (a)(3).
Even though the predicate devices identified in (a)(3) were not available for direct comparison testing, results of testing the Satellite showed that it was substantially equivalent, in terms of safety and effectiveness, to the specifications published for the predicate devices. In addition, the nonclinical and clinical test results for the Satellite showed that it was substantially equivalent, in terms of safety and effectiveness, to much larger Nicolet EEG products, including the BMSI long-term EEG monitoring system (K891405A).
