S.p.A. ### 807.92 (a)(4), Device Description The BE Plus LTM / GWi amplifiers system, which has 64 channels, is an amplifier system which collects the bioelectric signals from the surface of the human body trough appropriate electrodes or sensors, intensify the very low signal captured (typically the amplitude range is of the order of the uVolts), condition them (filtering), convert them in numeric form and pass these data to the "host" elaboration unit (Personal Computer or equivalent system). For these reason this device is not intended for a "direct" use by the physician but rather by a "manufacturer" or "System Builder" (a company or a researcher) which wants to build a "complete" medical device using the "BE Plus LTM / GWi" amplifier device as the "acquiring part" of the whole system. BE Plus LTM / GWi is therefore intended to be assembled into an electromedical system by a System Builder, who will define the specific intended use of the assembled medical device. #### 807.92(a)(5), Intended Use(s) The BE Plus LTM / GWi Amplifier is intended to be used by or under the direction of a physician for acquisition of EEG, polygraphy and polysomnography signals and transmission of these signals to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations. #### 807.92(a)(6), Technological Characteristics EBNeuro amplifier systems are composed of the following "subsystems": - 1. the amplifier box itself (analog conditioning, A/D conversion) - 2. the host PC interface (host communication isolation from PC hardware) - 3. the power supply subsystem - 4. Optionally a flash led visual stimulator (routinely used during an EEG recording) - 5. Optionally an external pulse oximeter module Both the BE Plus LTM / GWi Amplifier and the predicate device. BE Plus/Aura LTM 64 Amplifier. have the same number and type of Channels. The analog channels of the BE Plus LTM/GWi system are the same number and are a slightly upgraded version of those of the predicate device. All devices use one common electrode reference to establish a patient ground (not earth ground) against which all other electrical inputs are referenced. Each device measures values and waveforms and contains many of the same channels of information. All devices detect electrical signals which are then converted to digital data. None of the systems actually deliver energy to the patient, they receive signals from the patient, amplify and filter these signals, and record the digital data derived from the The host communication protocol of the BE Plus LTM/GWi system is signals. substantially the same of the predicate device. Both systems provide the option of the same EBNeuro Flash Led stimulator. Both devices provide the capability to store "internally" the acquired data when the host connection is not operating and the capability to transfer these data in a delayed time when connection should be restored. Both devices use the same AC/DC adapter. {2}------------------------------------------------ 510(k) Summary BE Plus LTM/Gwi Amplifier EB Neuro, S.p.A. Both the BE Plus LTM / GWi Amplifier and the predicate device, BE Plus/Aura LTM 64 Amplifier can be powered by an external IEC 60601-1 compliant Mains Adapter, the BE Plus LTM/Gwi can also operate with an internal rechargeable battery pack. The BE Plus LTM/GWi system provides the option of a Pulse Oximeter Module, based on the Nonin OEM III module cleared under K093728 (EBNeuro BE micro/Trea device). While both Amplifier can be connected to the host computer by means of a "wired" LAN cable, the BE Plus LTM/GWi can be connected to the host in a "wireless" mode (WLAN/IEEE 802.11). ### 807.92(b)(1), Non-Clinical Performance Data The verification and validation (V&V) plan including definition of test methods and acceptance criteria were designed to ensure equivalent performance with the predicate device. The verification included software unit testing, integration testing and software system testing with functional testing of all software requirements. The validation process was performed to ensure that the system meets the user needs specification. The V&V test results showed that the BE Plus LTM / GWi Amplifier meets its intended use, user needs and software requirements. Additional testing was performed to verify the performance of wireless function, wireless coexistence and quality of service, the integrity and security of wirelessly transmitted data and of access to the wireless network. and electromagnetic compatibility. #### 807.92(b)(2), Clinical Performance Data Clinical testing was not conducted to support this 510(k) submission. ### 807.92(b)(3), Non-Clinical and Clinical Performance Data Conclusions The non-clinical performance data concludes that the subject device has equal performance and raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness in comparison to the predicate device. 3 {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
