Intended Use
The foramen ovale electrode is designed for monitoring brain electrical activity (eeg) or defining the location of epileptogenic foci in patients with intractable epilepsy. The foramen ovale electrode is intended for "Surgical Use Only" and "Not Intended for Implantation" This product should only be used by a physician/surgeon trained in the use of foramen ovate electrodes.
Device Description
Ad-Tech's Foramen Ovale Electrode has similar intended uses, naterials, technological characteristics, sterilization procedures, and packaging as the commercially available Ad-Tech Depth Electrode (K 891920B). The Foramen Ovale Electrodes are used for intraoperative monitoring ( for surgical use only / not for implantation) and recording of electrical brain signals for epilepsy monitoring on the surface and sub-surface of the brain.

No
The summary describes a passive electrode for recording electrical signals and makes no mention of AI/ML processing or algorithms.

No
The device is described as being used for "monitoring brain electrical activity (eeg) or defining the location of epileptogenic foci" and "recording of electrical brain signals for epilepsy monitoring," which are diagnostic rather than therapeutic functions.

Yes

The device is designed for "monitoring brain electrical activity (eeg) or defining the location of epileptogenic foci in patients with intractable epilepsy," which involves identifying a condition or its characteristics.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrode," which is a hardware component used for recording electrical signals. It is not solely software.

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 outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The foramen ovale electrode is designed for monitoring brain electrical activity (EEG) and defining the location of epileptogenic foci. This involves directly interacting with the patient's brain inside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "Surgical Use Only" and "Not Intended for Implantation," indicating it's used during a surgical procedure on the patient.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use for "intraoperative monitoring" and "recording of electrical brain signals... on the surface and sub-surface of the brain."

All of these points indicate that the device is used in vivo (within the living body) for monitoring and recording, which is fundamentally different from the in vitro nature of IVDs.
