# Device Description:

The Brainsway Deep TMS System enables direct non-invasive activation of deep brain structures. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique used to apply brief magnetic pulses to the brain. The pulses are administered by passing high currents through an electromagnetic coil placed adjacent to a patient's scalp. The pulses induce an electric field in the underlying brain tissue. When the induced field is above a certain threshold, and is directed in an appropriate orientation relative the brain's neuronal pathways, localized axonal depolarizations are produced, thus activating neurons in the targeted brain structure.

The Brainsway Deep TMS System is composed of the following main components:

- 1. Cart
	- a) TMS Neurostimulator
	- b) Cooling System
	- c) Positioning Device
- 2. Helmet
	- a) Aiming Apparatus (i.e., ruler/grid)
	- b) Electromagnetic Coil (H4-Coil)
	- c) Cap

The modified device has the same intended use and indications for use as the Brainsway Deep TMS System cleared in 510(k) K200957. Both the modified device and the cleared Brainsway Deep TMS System are similar in terms of their intended prescription use only, suitable for adult population, indicated for anatomical sites according to indications for use and to be used in hospital or clinic settings.

The basic components of modified Brainsway DTMS System are still similar to the cleared, predicate device and have the same mechanism of operation and use the same underlying technology. The performance characteristics, including the Output Waveform, Electrical Field Spatial Distribution and Magnetic Field Strength Gradient are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Brainsway DTMS System (K200957), as demonstrated in the performance testing.

The modified Brainsway DTMS System incorporates the new Brainsway stimulator and minor modifications to the device cart, cooling system, coil wire and helmet. Using the new Brainsway stimulator, the user can determine the treatment settings, record patient data, etc. The modified device, as the cleared device, introduces similar safety features and complies with same relevant consensus standards, including software validation. That is, the new stimulator software has been validated to ensure its proper performance. The new stimulator and the minor modifications to the device cart, cooling system and helmet were already introduced in the reference predicate, the Brainsway DTMS System intended for treatment of OCD and cleared in 510(k) K183303.

All device modifications were tested under the design control activities, including inhouse bench testing of the coil, software validation in compliance with international standards and FDA guidelines, as well as testing for compliance with relevant consensus standards for electrical and mechanical safety, electromagnetic compatibility and software validation. All potential hazards were mitigated in the performance testing conducted as part of the design control activities. All performance activities show that the modifications made to the device do not pose any new safety and effectiveness concerns. Furthermore, the labeling material was revised to support the above-mentioned device modifications.

### Conclusions:

Consequently, it can be concluded that the modified Brainsway Deep TMS System is substantially equivalent to the main predicate Brainsway Deep TMS System, cleared under 510(k) K200957 and the reference predicate Brainsway TMS System, cleared under 510(k) K183303. Therefore, the modified Brainsway Deep TMS System can be legally marketed in the USA.
