Intended Use
The QP-160AK EEG Trend Program is a software-only device intended to calculate and display EEG data obtained from the Nihon Kohden specified host device. The QP-160AK is intended to be used by qualified medical practitioners, trained in electroencephalography, who will exercise professional judgment when using the information. The intended use is as follows: · The EEG and aEEG waveforms are intended to help the user monitor the state of the brain. · The user-defined Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) parameters of this software (FFT power) are intended to help the user analyze the EEG waveform. • The burst suppression parameters of this software (interval and bursts per minute) are intended to aid in the identification and characterization of areas of burst-suppression pattern in the EEG. • The seizure detection component of QP-160AK is intended to mark previously acquired EEG waveforms of adult (greater than or equal to 18 years) that may correspond to electrographic seizures in order to aid in identification of seizure events and help review and annotation of EEG traces by user. EEG should be recorded with full scalp montage at the standard 10/20 system. The notifications for seizure detection are provided. QP-160AK notifications cannot be used as a substitute for real time monitoring of the underlying EEG by a trained expert. This device does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition to the user. The device is intended for use by medical personnel in any location within a medical facility, laboratory, clinic or nursing home or outside of a medical facility under direct supervision of a medical professional.
Device Story
Software-only device; installed on Nihon Kohden neurology host systems. Inputs: EEG data (up to 64 channels), SpO2, ETCO2. Transforms: Calculates trends (aEEG, DSA, FFT, burst suppression, seizure detection) using signal processing algorithms. Outputs: Visual trends, seizure notifications, and annotated EEG traces. Used in medical facilities, clinics, or nursing homes by trained medical personnel. Healthcare providers review outputs to monitor brain state and identify potential seizure events; output serves as an aid to clinical review and annotation, not a diagnostic conclusion. Benefits: Assists in long-term EEG monitoring and identification of seizure events in adult patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Seizure detection performance evaluated using 556 hours of archived EEG data from 139 adult patients (≥18 years) in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. Ground truth established by three independent experts using a two-third majority rule. Results: Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) of 77.2% (95% CI: 69.0-83.5) and False Detection Rate (FDR) of 0.451 Fp/h (95% CI: 0.320-0.669).
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device. Operates on Nihon Kohden neurology host systems. Features: EEG/aEEG waveform display, FFT power, burst suppression ratio, seizure detection, SpO2/ETCO2 trend display. Connectivity: Integrates with Neuro Workbench software. User interface: Touch panel. Algorithm: Automated seizure detection and quantitative EEG analysis.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients (≥18 years) to aid in the identification and characterization of burst-suppression patterns and to mark previously acquired EEG waveforms that may correspond to electrographic seizures. Intended for use by qualified medical practitioners trained in electroencephalography.

## Technological Characteristics - Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The Nihon Kohden QP-160AK EEG Trend Program is substantially equivalent to the predicate device of the same name (K120485) with the additional features of seizure detection and notification. For the seizure detection and notification, QP-160AK is substantially equivalent to the other listed predicate devices, Persyst 12 EEG Review and Analysis Software (K133793). Differences between the devices are minor and do not raise questions regarding safety or efficacy.
These differences include:
- 1. The QP-160AK EEG Trend Program is the same as the previous submission of QP-160AK cleared under K120485, but has two additional functions: seizure detection and notification of seizure detection.
- 2. For these new functions, we refer to Persyst 12 EEG Review and Analysis Software
{5}------------------------------------------------
(K133793) as the predicate.
- 3. Other functions of QP-160AK remain the same as the previously cleared submission, K120485; thus QP-160AK of K120485 is referenced as the predicate for the functions other than seizure detection and notification of seizure detection.
