Intended Use

The Apollo TMS Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.

Device Story

Apollo TMS Therapy System is an electromagnetic device delivering rapidly pulsed magnetic fields to the cerebral cortex to modulate neuronal activity without inducing seizures. System components include a user interface, main unit, stimulation coil, and coil positioning system. The operator uses the interface to manage treatment protocols and patient-specific stimulation doses based on individual motor thresholds. The stimulation coil is positioned over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using the integrated positioning system. By applying high-frequency (10Hz) rTMS, the device increases cortical excitability. The system is used in a clinical setting by trained operators to treat depression; it provides a non-invasive therapeutic alternative for patients resistant to medication, potentially improving clinical outcomes through targeted neuromodulation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evidence includes electromagnetic field characterization, electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2) testing. Software verification and validation were performed per FDA guidance for moderate level of concern devices. Risk management was conducted in compliance with ISO 14971:2007. No clinical trial data was required or presented for this 510(k) submission.

The Apollo TMS Therapy System is an electromagnetic device that non-invasively delivers a rapidly pulsed magnetic field to the cerebral cortex in order to activate neurons within a limited volume without inducing a seizure. This method of cortical stimulation of brief magnetic pulses to the head is known as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. The Apollo TMS Therapy System is comprised of four principal components. These include: - . User Interface - Main Unit - Stimulation Coil - Coil Positioning System The operator controls the Apollo TMS Therapy System via the User Interface. The Treatment and Data Management Software administrates the treatment protocols and the patient´s individual stimulation dose determined by the patient´s individual motor threshold. The stimulation is applied via the Stimulation Coil which is positioned to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) by means of the coil positioning system. The observed and documented increase in cortical excitability after high frequency (10Hz) rTMS has been shown to persist beyond the train of stimulation. {4}------------------------------------------------ Both devices, the Apollo TMS Therapy System and the predicate device have equivalent system components, consisting of a main unit containing the stimulation coil, a coil positioning system, and software. The basic operational procedure is identical consisting of system setup, patient preparation, coil positioning, determination of patient's motor threshold, and administration of treatment at predefined treatment stimulation parameters. ## V. INDICATIONS FOR USE The Apollo TMS Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. ## VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE Both systems, the Apollo TMS Therapy System and the predicate device use the technology named Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS makes use of electromagnetic induction to activate and modulate cortical neurons. The similarities and minor differences between the Apollo TMS Therapy System and the Predicates are listed in the table below. | DESCRIPTIVE<br>INFORMATION | Apollo TMS Therapy System | NeuroStar TMS Therapy<br>System | Rapid² Therapy System | |--------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Indications for Use | The Apollo TMS Therapy<br>System is indicated for the<br>treatment of Major<br>Depressive Disorder in adult<br>patients who have failed to<br>achieve satisfactory<br>improvement from prior<br>antidepressant medication in<br>the current episode. | The NeuroStar TMS Therapy<br>System is indicated for the<br>treatment of Major<br>Depressive Disorder in adult<br>patients who have failed to<br>achieve satisfactory<br>improvement from prior<br>antidepressant medication in<br>the current episode. | The Rapid² Therapy System is<br>indicated for the treatment<br>of Major Depressive Disorder<br>in adult patients who have<br>failed to achieve satisfactory<br>improvement from prior<br>antidepressant medication in<br>the current episode. | | Treatment Stimulation<br>Parameters | | | | | 1.

The data presented demonstrates that the Apollo TMS Therapy system is in summary adequate to the Predicate Devices. Furthermore tests show that the major characteristics of the Apollo TMS Therapy system and the Predicate Devices are similar and that the minor differences do not impact safety or effectiveness. Both systems are very similar in function, safety and therapeutic benefit. In conclusion, the Apollo TMS Therapy system is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. # Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing were conducted on the Apollo TMS Therapy System. The system complies with the IEC 60601-1:2005 MOD (IEC 60601-1:2005 +AMD1:2012) standard for basic safety and essential performance and the IEC 60601-1-2:2007 standard for electromagnetic compatibility. # Software Verification and Validation Testing Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device is considered as a "moderate level of concern" (supported by Special Controls Guidance "rTMS Class II"), since a failure or latent design flaw could either directly result in minor injury to the patient or operator or could indirectly result in minor injury to the patient or operator through incorrect or delayed information or through the action of a care provider. # Risk management The potential risks of the Apollo TMS Therapy System have been identified and evaluated in compliance with ISO 14971:2007 and were determined to be acceptable, or have been addressed with risk control measures. {6}------------------------------------------------ #### VII. CONCLUSION # Substantial Equivalence The indication for use, the patient population, the treatment procedure, and all relevant protocol parameters (stimulation intensity, stimulation frequency, number of pulses in a train, numbers of trains, number of treatment sessions) are identical for the Apollo TMS Therapy System and the Predicate Devices. The identified minor differences between the systems are without any known impact on safety or efficacy. The figure-of-eight coil design, the coil positioning method and the electromagnetic characteristics of the Apollo TMS Therapy System and the Predicate Devices are equivalent. The Apollo TMS Therapy System does not introduce any new safety considerations in comparison to the Predicate Devices. The above comparison, demonstrates and supports the substantial equivalency of the Apollo TMS Therapy System to the Predicate Devices.
