The device description explicitly states that it records signals using electrically-conductive electrodes and a non-invasive ultrasound transducer, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Bravo Multi-Modality System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the living body ("in vitro").
- Bravo System Function: The Bravo Multi-Modality System directly interacts with the patient's body to record physiological signals (EEG, EP, EMG, TCD). It uses electrodes placed on the skin or nervous system, and an ultrasound transducer applied externally. It also imports data from other devices that are directly monitoring the patient.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens taken from the patient. The data being recorded and displayed is directly from the patient's physiological activity.
Therefore, the Bravo Multi-Modality System falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring and diagnosis, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Bravo Multi-Modality System is a personal computer-based digital data recorder for continuously monitoring various types of neurological information, including: (i) neuroelectric and neuromuscular data pertaining to the patient's central and peripheral nervous system and muscles, and (ii) neurovascular data pertaining to blood flow in the patient's brain and related blood vessels.
The intended use of this device is to record and display EEG, EMG, EP and TCD signals; and to import and display data from third-party monitoring devices, such as vital signs monitors. EEG signals are passively recorded using electrically-conductive electrodes that are placed in electrical contact with the patient's skin or nervous system. EMG and EP signals are recorded using electrically-conductive electrodes that are placed in electrical contact with the patient's skin, nervous system or muscles. EMG signals are passively recorded, while EP signals are evoked using a light source, a sound source, or an electrical stimulator. TCD signals are actively recorded using a non-invasive ultrasound transducer that emits and records ultrasound energy. The ultrasound energy is applied externally to the skin, passes through the skin and body tissues, reflects off blood molecules moving in the blood stream, passes back through the body tissues and skin, and returns to the transducer. Movement of the blood molecules causes a frequency or "Doppler" shift in the returned ultrasound energy, which is detected and converted into a signal representing the velocity of the blood from which the ultrasound energy was reflected. Third-party monitoring devices, such as vital signs monitors, acquire and display a variety of physiological data from the patient. Importing and displaying such data is done by taking an output signal directly from such monitoring devices without any additional connections to the patient. Data obtained from the monitoring device is then displayed, analyzed or stored by the Bravo Multi-Modality System independently of how the third-party device handles the data.

(4) Description of the device, including an explanation of how the device functions, the scientific (4) Dosenpton of the significant performance characteristics such as device design, material used, and physical properties.
The Bravo Multi-Modality System is a personal computer-based digital data recorder for continuously monitoring various types of neurological information, including: (i) neuroelectric and neuromuscular data pertaining to the patient's central and peripheral nervous system and muscles, and (ii) neurovascular data pertaining to blood flow in the patient's brain and related blood vessels.
The intended use of this device is to record and display EEG, EMG, EP and TCD signals; and to import and display data from third-party monitoring devices, such as vital signs monitors. EEG signals are passively recorded using electrically-conductive electrodes that are placed in electrical contact with the patient's skin or nervous system. EMG and EP signals are recorded using electrically-conductive electrodes that are placed in electrical contact with the patient's skin, nervous system or muscles. EMG signals are passively recorded, while EP

signals are evoked using a light source, a sound source, or an electrical stimulator. TCD signals are actively recorded using a non-invasive ultrasound transducer that emits and records ultrasound energy. The ultrasound energy is applied externally to the skin, passes through the skin and body tissues, reflects off blood molecules moving in the blood stream, passes back through the body tissues and skin, and returns to the transducer. Movement of the blood molecules causes a frequency or "Doppler" shift in the returned ultrasound energy, which is detected and converted into a signal representing the velocity of the blood from which the ultrasound energy was reflected. Third-party monitoring devices, such as vital signs monitors, acquire and display a variety of physiological data from the patient. Importing and displaying such data is done by taking an output signal directly from such monitoring devices without any additional connections to the patient. Data obtained from the monitoring device is then displayed, analyzed or stored by the Bravo Multi-Modality System independently of how the third-party device handles the data.
(5) Statement of the intended use, including a description of the patient populations, and diseases or conditions, that the device is intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, cure, or mitigate. If different 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 Bravo Multi-Modality System is intended to record and display EEG, EP, EMG and TCD data in the clinic and hospital (including the hospital room, operating room, emergency room, intensive care unit, neuro intensive care unit, critical care unit, etc.), and to import and display data from third-party monitoring devices. It is intended to aid the diagnosis and monitoring of potential disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system and muscles. It differs from the predicate devices in that it contains multiple modalities in a single device, whereas each predicate device has a very limited number of modalities. Nevertheless, like the predicate devices, the Bravo Multi-Modality System 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).
(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 substantially equivalent because the hardware and software in the Bravo Multi-Modality System is largely based on the predicate devices. The design, material, chemical composition, energy source, etc., are essentially unchanged. The main difference is that advances in computer technology (i.e., hardware and software) have enabled multiple software applications to run concurrently on a single computer platform, thereby making possible a single integrated system with multimodality capabilities. Nevertheless, each modality, when compared to a predicate device of the same modality, has similar performance specifications, a similar set of user-adjustable parameters, and is designed to comply with substantially the same performance standards.
