# 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 to 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 (H7 Coil)
- c) Cap
The BrainsWay TMS neurostimulator is connected to the electromagnetic H7 Coil, which in turn is connected to the patient's head. The helmet aiming apparatus is used to position the BrainsWay H7 Coil at the correct position on the patient's head. The cooling system maintains the electromagnetic coil at ambient temperature. The stimulator generates a changing electric current within the coil, which induces the magnetic field. The magnetic field causes a second inductance of inverted electric charge specifically in the prefrontal cortex. Deep TMS stimulation in the area of the prefrontal cortex has been shown to be therapeutically beneficial for the following indication for use.
# Intended Use/Indication for Use:
The BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode.

## Clinical Performance Data:
The safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence of the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ device for the treatment of MDD and Anxiety symptoms in MDD was demonstrated in the Multicenter H7 vs H1 Study (A Prospective Multicenter Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Efficacy of the H7 Coil to H1 Coil Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) in Subjects with Major Depression Disorder (MDD)), Protocol No. CTP-0002-00. The purpose of the study was to compare the safety and effectiveness of the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ H7 Coil compared to the H1 Coil for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Baseline demographic and main effectiveness information is provided in Tables 1 and 2 below.

| | Unknown | 1.8% (3/169) |
| Age (years) | N | 169 |
| | Mean (SD) | 45.4 (11.67) |
| | Median [Range] | 46.6 [22.1;68.9] |

| | N | |
| HARS | 168 | |
| | Mean (SD) | 19.5 (6.21) |
| | Median [Range] | 19.0 [6;43] |
The primary effectiveness endpoint was the change from baseline in HDRS-21 scores to the 6-week visit. In both study groups there was a statistically significant reduction in HDRS-21 scores. The repeated measure model showed that the difference between the slopes of at 6 weeks was found non-statistically significant (p=0.8). The upper limit of the one-sided 95% CI's was 1.9, i.e., lower than 3, which is the non-inferiority limit, therefore the study is deemed successful. The response rates and the remission rates at the week 6 visit were not found statistically significantly different between the H7 and H1 Coil treatment groups.

According to these results, it may be concluded that the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ treatment with the H7 Coil is as effective as treatment with the H1 Coil.
There was also no statistically significant difference in the incidence of any of the adverse events reported between the treatment groups. Therefore, we can conclude that the safety of the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ device with the H7 Coil is similar to the safety with the H1 Coil.

#### DISCUSSION OF SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES:
The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices (Models 102 and 104) have the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices cleared in 510(k) K210201. The subject devices and the cleared BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices are similar in terms of their intended prescription use only, suitable for adult population, indicated for the same anatomical sites, according to the same indications for use and to be used in the same hospital and/or clinic settings.
The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices have the same mechanism of operation and use the same underlying technology as the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices. The performance characteristics, including the Output Waveform, Electrical and Magnetic Field Distribution are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices. The subject devices, as the cleared devices, introduce similar safety features and comply with same relevant consensus standards, including electrical and mechanical safety, Electromagnetic Ddisturbances, and software validation.
The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices are composed of the same device components as the previously cleared, predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices (Model 102 and Model 104), with the exception of the coil. The subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices use the H7 Coil and the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices use the H1 Coil.
This 510(k) contains clinical data to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices with the H7 Coil for the treatment of MDD. Furthermore, the clinical data demonstrates that the BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices with the H7 Coil are substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMSTM devices with the H1 Coil for the treatment of MDD. No new questions of safety and effectiveness have arisen due to the use of the new H7 Coil.
#### Conclusions:
Consequently, it can be concluded that the subject BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices (Models 102 and 104) with the H7 Coil are substantially equivalent to the predicate BrainsWay Deep TMS™ devices (Models 102 and 104) with the H1 Coil, cleared under 510(k) K210201 and therefore, the modified BrainsWay Deep TMS™ System can also be legally marketed in the USA.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
