The Neuronaute is composed of a textile cap where twenty-one titanium dry electrodes are attached. An electronic box is attached to the cap (EEG recording) associated to batteries. The system operates on battery power only. The system is connected to a device (i.e. smart phone or a digital tablet) loaded with a separate stand-alone software program ("app"). The app works with a cloud backend service, which allows the user management and authentication, the data storage for application recordings and access to this data via a web-based interface, the devices management and authentication, the recording scheduling, the download of the latest firmware version. The acquired signals are saved in a universal data format (European Data Format, EDF) that is intended to be visualized by a Physician through the web-based interface. #### ર્સ્ડ Indications for Use The Neuronaute is indicated for acquiring, recording, storing, transmitting, and displaying physiological data in adult patients. It can be used with patients in health care facility or clinical research environment. The Neuronaute requires operation by a trained healthcare professional. The Neuronaute acquires, records, stores, transmits, and displays electroencephalogram (EEG). The Neuronaute only acquires and displays physiological signals, no claims are being made for analysis of the acquired signals with respect to the accuracy, precision and reliability. #### 5.6 Comparison to Predicate Devices The primary purpose of the Neuronaute is the recording of physiological signals, specifically EEG. In comparison with the Primary predicates, the Neuronaute does not contain ECG/EOG/EMG electrodes or accelerometer technology (for actigraphy). These additional features are not required for EEG recording; therefore, these differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the Neuronaute. The Neuronaute has similar indications for use for EEG measurements and uses the same fundamental technology as the X-Series System for most features including the electrophysiological (EEG) and wireless acquisitions and actigraphy. Like the X-Series system, the Neuronaute acquires, records and transmits EEG signals. The technologies used in the Neuronaute are used in a similar manner as the X-Series System and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. #### 5.7 Performance Data Support for the substantial equivalence of the Neuronaute was provided as a result of risk management and testing which included electrical and biological safety, performance and software tests. Testing has provided reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use and supports a determination of substantial equivalence. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for BIOSERENITY. The logo features a stylized globe with interconnected lines, suggesting a network or global connection. The company name, "BIOSERENITY," is written in a sans-serif font below the globe. The cleaning and disinfection procedures must be applied depending on the components. Procedures are provided in the User Manual. Biocompatibility was assessed following ISO 10993 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing". The skin contact of the Neuronaute device is limited to 24 hours. Hence, per ISO 10993, Part 1, and the FDA-modified Matrix ("Use of International Standard ISO-10993 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing") the following tests are conducted to determine biocompatibility of Neuronaute: Cytotoxicity, Irritation. Sensitization. Neuronaute is not intended to be used on unhealthy skin and skin with open wounds. The yarns used in the Neuronaute and in contact with the skin were preferentially chosen according to OEKO-TEX® product Class I and Class II suitable for use in babies and textiles close to the skin such as underwear. The dry EEG electrodes are made of titanium alloy Ti6A14V (Ti-64) extra- low interstitial (ELI). Titanium and its alloys have a proven track record as biomedical implants due to their excellent biocompatibility. The firmware in the Neuronaute, the mobile app and the Cloud have been tested through verification and validation according to the IEC 62304:2006 standard and as per the FDA Guidance "General Principles for Software Validation". The results of the verification and validation activities demonstrate that the software meet the requirements for safety, function and intended use. Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing of the Neuronaute was conducted following recognized standards for electro-medical equipment. Compliance to the specific IEC 60601-2-26:2002 - "Particular - requirements - for for - the - safety standards or electroencephalographs" regarding the operational and mechanical performance has been demonstrated. The reusable EEG dry electrodes used with the Neuronaute have been tested to demonstrate their electrical and signal acquisition performance. While the scope of the standards does not cover EEG electrodes testing using applicable methods defined in chapter 4 of AAMI/ANSI EC12:2000 (R)2010 Disposable ECG electrodes has been conducted, as well as for another cleared EEG electrode, Rythmlink Disc Electrodes (K061148). Testing performed show that the dry titanium EEG electrodes has similar electrical performance as the Rythmlink Disc Electrodes (K061148). EEG signals testing has been performed on the Neuronaute in comparison with the gold standard, assimilated to another cleared EEG electrode, Rythmlink Disc Electrodes (K061148) to demonstrate the acceptability of the signals quality. Testing performed show that the dry titanium EEG electrodes has similar signal performance as the Rythmlink Disc Electrodes (K061148). EEG signals testing has been performed on the Neuronaute to demonstrate the acceptability of the signals quality. The Impedance tests were performed on a cohort of 24 subjects. The Alpha Rhythm tests were performed on a cohort of 26 healthy adult subjects. The Chirp and Ramp tests demonstrate an acceptable lag between the box and presented no data lost with the current version of software. The physiological tests showed a normal presence of alpha modulation in the eyes opening/closing task. Most impedances were below 1MOhms. Altogether, the latest hardware and software versions of the Neuronaute show acceptable results for a release. Finally, as part of the Design Control, other testing has been performed to ensure that the specifications defined have been met. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for BIOSERENITY.
