Intended Use
Embla is a polysomnographic system that is intended to record, display, and print EEG and other physiological information to clinicians/physicians. The device will be used in hospitals, institutions, sleep centers or clinics, or other test environments where patients require documentation of various sleep or other physiological disorders.
Device Description
The device is an EEG and physiological signs recorder. Embla is a polysomnographic system that is intended to record, display, and print EEG and other physiological information to EEG and other physicians. The device will be used in hospitals, institutions, sleep centers used in hospitals, institutions, environments where of various or clinics, of ocure documentation patients require doodaologic disorders. The Embla device is a totally digital recorder utilizing 16 channels of input Gata. The device is available in ambulatory as well as desktop configurations.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on recording, displaying, and printing physiological data without mentioning any analytical or interpretive functions that would typically involve AI/ML.

No
The device is intended to record, display, and print physiological information for diagnostic purposes, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to record and display physiological information to clinicians/physicians for the documentation of sleep or other physiological disorders, which implies a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "totally digital recorder utilizing 16 channels of input Gata" and is available in "ambulatory as well as desktop configurations," indicating it includes hardware components for data acquisition.

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. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for various health issues.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Embla system records, displays, and prints physiological information like EEG. This involves measuring electrical activity and other physical signals directly from the patient's body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to document various sleep or other physiological disorders by recording these in-vivo signals.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic tests.

Therefore, the Embla polysomnographic system is a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
