No
The summary describes a passive electrode for acquiring biopotential signals and makes no mention of AI or ML processing.

No
The device is described as a biopotential skin electrode used for acquiring surface biopotentials, not for treating a disease or condition. While it aids in diagnosis, it does not provide therapy.

No
This device is a biopotential skin electrode used for acquisition of biopotentials. While these biopotentials can be used for diagnostic purposes, the device itself is an acquisition tool, not a diagnostic device that interprets or diagnoses.

No

The device description explicitly states "Biopotential Skin Electrode," which is a hardware component used for acquiring biopotentials.

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.
  • Device function: The description states the device is a "Biopotential Skin Electrode" used for the "acquisition of all surface biopotentials" like EEG, EMG, and EOG. These are measurements taken directly from the surface of the skin, not from samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for acquiring biopotentials, which is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Trade Name: Biopotential Skin Electrode Regulatory Class: II Product Code: IKA, GXY, BWY, and HLY Dated: April 2, 1999 Received: April 8, 1999

Dear Mr. Thygeson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Page 2 - Mr. Timothy Thygeson

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits vour device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
