The Neuromaster G1 MEE 2000 Neural Function Measuring System is intended to monitor, record, and display the bioelectric signals produced by sensory and motor pathways in the operating room, critical care, and other areas where continuous monitoring is needed. The system measures and displays electric/auditory/visual evoked potential (EP), electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG), skin temperature of distal portion of extremities, SpO2, and ETCO2 to provide health care professionals with information to help assess a patient's neurological status. The system is used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders and used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency.

· EEG - The device may also measure and record the electrical activities of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head (EEG).

· EP-Electrical/ Auditory/ Visual - Continuous and/or periodic measurements of evoked potential activities are displayed and stored. The device applies an electrical stimulus to a patient through commercially available skin electrodes for the purpose of measuring the evoked response. The photic stimulator is used to generate and display a shifting pattern or to apply a brief light stimulus to a patient's eye and the auditory stimulator produces a sound stimulus for use in evoked response measurements or electroencephalogram activation.

· Free Run EMG - The Free Run EMG function identifies spontaneous EMG activity of nerves by continually displaying a live stream waveform of any mechanically induced myotome contractions.

· CoMEP - Cortical stimulation techniques for cortical mapping are used at "Low Output" for placement of electrodes during surgical procedures and for brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders.

· TcMEP - Transcranial electrical stimulation techniques for motor evoked potentials (TcMEP) are used at "TcMEP Output" for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency."

· Nerve conduction study - The device is intended to measure and display nerve conduction time by applying a stimulus to a patient's peripheral nerve. This device includes the stimulator and the electronic processing equipment for measuring and displaying the nerve conduction time.

• SpO2 - When the SpO2 adapter and finger and toe probe for SpO2 measurement are used. oxygen saturation information is automatically measured and displayed.

· EtCO2 - When the CO2 adapter and sensor for EtCO2 measurement are used, endtidal carbon dioxide of respiratory gas information is automatically measured and displayed.

• Skin temperature - When the skin temperature sensor for skin temperature measurement is used, skin temperature information is automatically measured and displayed.

· Remote reader – The remote reader function provides real time remote access to the system for a monitoring physician outside of the operating room.

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 is available for use on any patient as determined by the medical professional including adults and children of all ages.

The Neuromaster G1 MEE2000 Neural Function Measuring System is a compact and multi-functional system for continuous monitoring of brain and neural pathways intraoperatively and in critical care areas. The system measures and displays electric/auditory/visual evoked potential (EP), electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG), skin temperature of distal portion of the extremities, SpO2 and ETCO2. The system also measures and displays nerve conduction time by applying a stimulus to a patient's peripheral nerve. The system includes the stimulator and the electronic processing equipment for measuring and displaying the nerve conduction time.

The system uses electrical stimulus, visual stimulus, or sound stimulus in evoked responses measurements (EP). Continuous and/or periodic measurements of evoked potential activities are displayed and stored. The system applies an electrical stimulus to a patient through skin electrodes for the purpose of measuring the evoked response. The photic stimulator is used to generate and display a shifting light pattern or to apply a brief light stimulus for use in evoked response measurements or electroencephalogram activation. The system may measure and record the electrical activities of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head (EEG).

The system can be used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders and used for intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency.

The system can be connected to SpO2 and ETCO2 sensors to display the patient's oxygen saturation values as measured by pulse oximetry and CO2 values respectively throughout the procedure.

The acquired waveforms are displayed in cascaded format and measurement data may be displayed on the trend graph with waveform annotations (events). The acquired waveforms with the measurement data can be saved to a large capacity storage media. The data can be printed directly on paper, printed to portable document format (pdf), and/or archived to other locations.

The Neuromaster G1 MEE2000 System consists of at minimum a main unit (DC-200B), an amp unit (JB-232B), one breakout box (JB-210B), four stimulation pods [JS-201B(A), JS-202B (B), JS-203B (C), JS-204B (D)], and a computer (CC-201BK) with specific software. There are several standard and optional accessories such as cables, connectors, SpO2 probes, ETCO2 sensors, and various types of electrodes and leads.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Neuromaster G1 MEE2000 Neural Function Measuring System, as derived from the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than setting novel acceptance criteria and explicitly defining the new device's performance against them. Instead, the performance characteristics of the Neuromaster G1 MEE2000 System are presented in comparison to its predicate device (Neuromaster MEE1000 System) and other reference predicates. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly the performance specifications of the predicate devices, which the new device aims to meet or exceed where noted.

I will present a selection of key characteristics to illustrate this comparison format. Please note that the document contains a very extensive table (Table 3) outlining numerous characteristics; this is a summary of some of the most relevant ones to demonstrate the device's technical specifications and how they align with or improve upon predicates.
