Indications for Use
The WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit is intended to acquire, store, record, and transmit the cerebral and extracerebral activity for EEG and sleep studies. The device should be used together with Nihon Kohden specified electroencephalograph via wired or wireless communication to display EEG on the electroencephalograph screen. These data may be used by the clinician in sleep disorder, epilepsies and other related disorders as an aid in diagnosis. The WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit is designed for use by qualified medical personnel in a medical facility such as a hospital or clinic on all patient populations including adult, neonate, infant, child and adolescent subgroups.
Device Story
WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit acquires, stores, and transmits physiological signals (EEG, ECG, EMG, EOG, respiration, SpO2) for EEG and sleep studies. Electrodes connect to a mini junction box linked to a patient-worn or bedside telemetry unit (ZB-120A). Data transmits via wired or wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) to a Nihon Kohden electroencephalograph (e.g., EEG-1200A) for display. SpO2 data is also displayed on the telemetry unit LCD. Used by qualified medical personnel in hospitals or clinics. Output allows clinicians to visualize waveforms to aid in diagnosing neurological and sleep disorders. Enhanced transmission performance and dual-band operation compared to predicates.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing performed. Substantial equivalence established through bench testing, including software verification/validation (unit, integration, system tests), wireless performance validation (coexistence, network, operation), and compliance with safety standards (AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-26, ISO 80601-2-61).
Technological Characteristics
Telemetry unit (ZB-120A) with mini junction box (JE-125AK/225AK/922A). Wireless: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz), WPA/WPA2 security. SpO2 adapter (JL-570T) uses two-wavelength light absorption. 16-bit A/D resolution. Input impedance 200M ohm. Battery-operated (10-30 hours). Standards: AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-26, ISO 80601-2-61.
Indications for Use
Indicated for acquisition, storage, recording, and transmission of cerebral and extracerebral activity for EEG and sleep studies. Used for patients of all ages (adult, neonate, infant, child, adolescent) in medical facilities for diagnosis of sleep disorders, epilepsies, and related conditions.

#### Description:
The WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit is a system that can be used in routine EEG testing, epilepsy monitoring, or PSG testing to send the measured EEG waves, ECG waves, EMG waves, EOG waves, and respiration waves from the electroencephalograph by wired or wireless LAN. The electrodes are connected to a mini junction box which is connected to the telemetry unit that is worn by patient or placed near patient.
The measured data can also be stored in the telemetry unit of the WEE-1200 Wireless Input Unit.
Additionally, by connecting a SpO2 sensor and SpO2 adapter to the telemetry unit, SpO2 value and waveform can be measured and displayed on both the electroencephalograph screen and the telemetry unit LCD display.

## Technological Characteristics - Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The WEE-1200, just like its predicate WEE-1000A (K033475), is a device intended to be used together with Nihon Kohden electroencephalographs such as EEG-1200A (K080546) to transmit the measured data via wired LAN. The WEE-1200 has same measuring parameters as the predicates.
The new SpO2 adapter, JL-570T, that can be used with the subject device for SpO2 measurement is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared SpO2 adapter. JL-550T1 (K113117, EEG-1200A with JE-120A), with only a few minor differences that do not raise any new safety and effectiveness issues.
When compared with the WEE-1000A (K033475), the subject device has an enhanced transmission performance: the maximum transmission throughput is increased and dualband operation (IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n) is available on the subject device. The wireless LAN security adopted on the predicate device was Nihon Kohden original protocol while the subject device utilizes 802.11 WPA/WPA2. The wireless transmission performance of the subject device is validated according to the FDA guidance "Radio Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices" for its co-existence features and network performance.
