No
The summary describes a system for measuring and displaying bioelectric signals (EMG, NCV, EP, EEG) and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities for analysis, interpretation, or diagnosis.
No
The device is used for diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular diseases, and for measuring and recording bioelectric signals to aid clinicians in establishing a diagnosis. It does not provide treatment for any condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended "to aid the clinician in the diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular disease (EMG)." The device performs various measurements (EMG, NCV, EP, EEG) that collect data for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly mentions stimulating peripheral nerves, measuring electrical resistance of the skin, and recording electrical activity of the brain, all of which require hardware components (electrodes, stimulators, etc.) to interface with the patient. The summary also mentions electromagnetic, environmental, and safety testing, which are typically associated with hardware devices.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The description of the MEB-2200A clearly states its intended use is to monitor, record, and display bioelectric signals directly from the patient's body (muscles, nerves, brain, skin). It also involves stimulating the patient's nerves.
- There is no mention of analyzing samples or specimens in vitro.
The device is a diagnostic tool, but it operates in vivo (within the living body) by measuring and stimulating electrical activity.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MEB-2200A Neuropack Evoked Potential and EMG Measuring System is intended to monitor, record and display the bioelectric signals produced by muscles, to stimulate peripheral nerves, and to monitor, record and display the electrical activity produced by nerves to aid the clinician in the diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular disease (EMG). The device is also intended to measure and display nerve conduction time by applying a stimulus to a patient's nerve (NCV). The device may use electrical stimulus, visual stimulus, or sound stimulus for use in evoked response measurements (EP). The device may be used to determine autonomic responses as psychological indicators by measuring the electrical resistance of the skin and the tissue path between two electrodes applied to the skin. The device may also measure and record the electrical activity of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head (EEG).

SECTION 2 - 510(K) SUMMARY
Name and Address of Applicant
Nihon Kohden America, Inc. 2601 Campus Drive Irvine. California 92612-1601 (949) 250-3959
The device has been classified as Class II under 21 CFR Part 890.1375 "Diagnostic Electromyograph" per IKN; 21 CFR Part 882.1400 "Electroencephalograph" per GWQ; 21 CFR Part 882.1550 "Nerve Conduction Velocity Measurement Device" per JXE; 21 CFR 882.1540 "Galvanic Skin Response Measurement Device" PER GZO: 21 CFR 882.1870 "Evoked Response Electrical Stimulator" per GWF: 21 CFR 882.1890 "Evoked Response Photic Stimulator" per GWE; and 21 CFR 882.1990 "Evoked Response Auditory Stimulator" per GWJ.
Common names for the MEB-2200A device include Evoked Response. Evoked Potential (EP) and Electromyograph (EMG).
The predicate marketed device is the Nihon Kohden MEB-5500A Neuropack Sigma per 510(k) #K950208, commercial distribution certification dated May 10, 1995.
Nihon Kohden's, model number MEB-2200A is intended for medical purposes to monitor, record and display the bioelectric signals produced by muscles, to stimulate peripheral nerves, and to monitor, record and display the electrical activity produced by nerves to aid the clinician in the diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular disease (EMG). The device is also intended to measure and display nerve conduction time by applying a stimulus to a patient's nerve (NCV). The device may use electrical stimulus, visual stimulus, or sound stimulus for use in evoked response measurements (EP). The device may be used to determine autonomic responses as psychological indicators by measuring the electrical resistance of the skin and the tissue path between two electrodes applied to the skin. The device may also measure and record the electrical activity of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head (EEG).
The device is intended for use by medical personnel within a hospital, laboratory, clinic or nursing home setting or outside of a medical facility under direct supervision of a medical professional. The device may also be placed in the intensive care unit or operating room for continuous recording. The device is available for use on any patient as determined by the medical professional including adults and children.
The device complies with IEC 601-1 subclause 56.3(c) as implemented by 21 CFR Part 898 Performance Standard for Electrode Lead Wires and Patient Cables. No other special controls or performance standards are known or established for this device is in compliance with the following voluntary industrial standards; IEC 60601-1 (1988-12), Amendment 2 (1995-03); IEC 60601-1-1 (1992-06); Amendment 1 (1995-10); IEC 60601-2-10 (1987-12); EN 60601-1-2 (1993-05); CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90 (1999-11) and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.2.10-92 (1992-08)
The device is not intended to be sterile. No GLP studies were required for this device.
The MEB-2200A was subjected to electromagnetic, environmental, safety and performance testing procedures. Software validation tested the operation of the device. The results confirmed that the device performed within specifications.
Therefore based on the above, Nihon Kohden believes that the MEB-2200A Neuropack Evoked Potential and EMG Measuring System is substantially equivalent to the predicate MEB-5500A Neuropack Sigma.
