Intended Use
The Neuromag Vectorview 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 306 sensor elements, including planar gradiometers and magnetometers, with medical super-computers and data acquisition software 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 that 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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a MEG device that measures and displays biomagnetic signals. It mentions integration with super-computers and data acquisition software but does not mention any AI/ML algorithms for data processing, interpretation, or analysis. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is described as a diagnostic tool used to detect and display biomagnetic signals to enhance diagnostic capability, not to provide therapy.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that "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." This indicates that the device aids in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it integrates hardware components (306 sensor elements, super-computers) with data acquisition software.

Based on the provided information, the Neuromag Vectorview system 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 Vectorview's function: The description clearly states that the device "non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain." This is a measurement of a physiological signal directly from the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as a "magneto encephalographic (MEG) device" which is a neuroimaging technique, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, the Neuromag Vectorview system falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, but specifically for in vivo (within the living body) measurement, not in vitro (in glass/outside the body) testing.

Dear Ms. Keeler:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 30, 1998.

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.
