Intended Use

The Bio-logic Ceegraph family is indicated for use in the recording and analysis of routine EEG tests. Typical EEG tests are 20-30 minutes in duration. but the Ceegraph system can also be used for longer tests. including continuous lone-term EEG monitoring with patient video. EEG testing is indicated for use whenever it is necessary to measure and record the electrical activity of a patient's brain by attaching multiple electrodes at various locations on the scalp.

The 128 Channel Data Recording system has a similar intended use to that of the 32 channel Ceegraph recording system.

It can be used for patients of all ages, from newborn infants through adults, to and including geriatric patients.

Device Description

The 128-Channel data collection system consists of a metal enclosure approximately 13.5' x 7.375' x 5.25" in size, weighing approximately 10.9 (when fully-equipped to handle all 128 channels). It can be configured to perform from 16 to 128 channel collection, depending on the hardware installed in the box. Power to the box is supplied with an external medical-grade power supply, which supplies regulated 12 volts and 5 volts DC to a connector at the rear of the box. Communication to the host computer is performed through a standard Ethernet interface connector capable of running at data rates up to 10 MHz (10 base-T). Four patient connectors are provided on the front of the box, each capable of interfacing to 32 channels of patient input. A sync connector is provided at the rear of the box, to provide synchronization and sampling rate information to external devices.

The system consists of a microprocessor board, a digital interface board, and up to eight (8) 16-channel analog boards connected to the system through a backplane interconnect board. The analog boards are identical to the 16-channel analog boards used in the patient connection module (headbox) of the predicate device. These boards provide patient isolation and signal amplification. Boards are connected in pairs to one of the four external connectors on the front of the unit. These 50-pin external connectors are identical to the auxiliary connector on the present headbox of the predicate device. This allows the use of existing patient connection hardware, such as electrode arrays and the 32-channel" electrode connection panel called the "quick disconnect box". The microprocessor board contains program and data memory and control functions for reading the analog data, converting it to digital, and communicating it to the host computer through the Ethernet cable. The digital interface board contains the interface to the A/D converters and the communications hardware.

Equivalence to PredicateSubstantially the same technical design approach as predicate device's patient connection module (headbox)Confirmed through description of shared analog boards and updated digital components.This is the overarching criterion for 510(k) clearance. The new device uses the same analog boards and has an updated digital design but the same core functionality for signal capture.

Study Information

Based on the provided text, the documentation describes non-clinical testing designed to demonstrate substantial equivalence and enhanced performance. It is important to note that this is a 510(k) submission, which primarily focuses on demonstrating equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical data, rather than requiring a full-scale clinical trial.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of patient data. The non-clinical testing was performed on the device itself.
    • Data provenance is not applicable as it's a device performance test, not a clinical data set.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. This was a non-clinical device performance study where "ground truth" was established by engineering standards and specifications (e.g., correct representation of analog signals).
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. There was no human interpretation or adjudication of a test set in the clinical sense mentioned. The tests were objective engineering and performance evaluations.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. An MRMC study was not stated or implied. This device is a digital EEG recorder, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool requiring human reader studies to evaluate interpretative performance.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, effectively. The "Data Integrity Tests" assess the algorithm's (device's) ability to accurately represent analog signals digitally, independent of human interpretation at that stage. The entire suite of non-clinical tests are standalone performance evaluations of the device's hardware and software.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • For the data integrity tests, the "ground truth" would be the known analog input signals that are fed into the system. The device's digital output is then compared against these known inputs to verify accuracy.
    • For other tests (EMI/EMC, leakage, etc.), the ground truth is adherence to established engineering standards and regulatory thresholds.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is an EEG recording system, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" of data in the typical sense. Its function is to accurately capture and record signals, not to interpret or classify them using learned patterns from a dataset.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. As the device does not employ a machine learning model that requires training data and a corresponding ground truth, this question doesn't apply.

NAME OF DEVICE: Bio-logic CEEGRAPH 128-Channel Recording System.

Digital EEG Recorder. COMMON NAME:

Electroencephalograph (per CFR 882.1400). CLASSIFICATION NAME:

PREDICATE DEVICE: Bio-logic Ceegraph Digital EEG System , 510(k) #K933233.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:

The 128-Channel data collection system consists of a metal enclosure approximately 13.5' x 7.375' x 5.25" in size, weighing approximately 10.9 (when fully-equipped to handle all 128 channels). It can be configured to perform from 16 to 128 channel collection, depending on the hardware installed in the box. Power to the box is supplied with an external medical-grade power supply, which supplies regulated 12 volts and 5 volts DC to a connector at the rear of the box. Communication to the host computer is performed through a standard Ethernet interface connector capable of running at data rates up to 10 MHz (10 base-T). Four patient connectors are provided on the front of the box, each capable of interfacing to 32 channels of patient input. A sync connector is provided at the rear of the box, to provide synchronization and sampling rate information to external devices.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The system consists of a microprocessor board, a digital interface board, and up to eight (8) 16-channel analog boards connected to the system through a backplane interconnect board. The analog boards are identical to the 16-channel analog boards used in the patient connection module (headbox) of the predicate device. These boards provide patient isolation and signal amplification. Boards are connected in pairs to one of the four external connectors on the front of the unit. These 50-pin external connectors are identical to the auxiliary connector on the present headbox of the predicate device. This allows the use of existing patient connection hardware, such as electrode arrays and the 32-channel" electrode connection panel called the "quick disconnect box". The microprocessor board contains program and data memory and control functions for reading the analog data, converting it to digital, and communicating it to the host computer through the Ethernet cable. The digital interface board contains the interface to the A/D converters and the communications hardware.

INTENDED USE:

The Bio-logic Ceegraph family is intended for use in the recording and analysis of routine EEG tests. Typical EEG tests are 20-30 minutes in duration, but the Ceegraph system can also be used for longer tests, including continuous long-term EEG monitoring with patient video. EEG testing is intended for use whenever it is necessary to measure and record the electrical activity of a patient's brain by attaching multiple electrodes at various locations on the scalp. The 128 Channel Data Recording system has a similar intended use to that of the 32 channel Ceegraph recording system (predicate device). It can be used for patients of all ages, from newborn infants through adults, to and including geriatric patients.

PATIENT POPULATION: Adults, children and infants.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The 128-Channel Data Recording System uses substantially the same technical design approach as that of the predicate device patient connection module (headbox). The predicate device employs a microprocessor-based digital control board, a patient interface board, and two 16-channel analog boards. The same analog boards are used in the 128-Channel system, which can accommodate up to eight of them. The digital board is an updated design incorporating a more powerful microprocessor and more memory, and the digital control. interfacing and communications functions are contained on two boards instead of one, as in the predicate device. The method of communication to the host computer is through high-speed Ethernet cable, whereas the predicate device uses an RS-422 serial communication interface.

Both the predicate device and the 128-Channel System require only low-voltage DC power for operation. Patient isolation is provided through the use of optical isolators on the interface board. In addition, the 128-Channel System connects to the host computer through a transformer-coupled Ethernet connector, which provides a second level of isolation.

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING:

The following is a list of tests performed on the 128-Channel Data Recording System to demonstrate that the performance of the system is equivalent to that of the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness, and that the additional features provide utility and product performance which exceeds that of the predicate device. All tests were completed satisfactorily with no adverse reports.
