The Brainsway Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation System is indicated to be used as an aid in short-term smoking cessation for adults.
Device Story
Brainsway Deep TMS System is an electromechanical instrument for non-invasive stimulation of deep brain structures; uses electromagnetic coil to deliver brief, rapidly alternating magnetic pulses; induces electric fields in prefrontal cortex and insula to activate neurons. Used in hospitals/clinics by trained operators. System components include electromagnetic coil, TMS neurostimulator, cooling system, positioning system/helmet, and mobile cart. Clinician configures treatment parameters (10 Hz, 120% motor threshold, 3 sec pulse trains, 15 sec intervals, 1800 pulses/session) via stimulator software. Patient positioning and motor threshold determination are manual. Output affects clinical decision-making by providing an adjunct treatment for smoking cessation. Benefits include improved short-term smoking cessation rates compared to sham.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, multi-center trial (N=262). Primary endpoint: 4-week Continuous Quit Rate (CQR). Results: Active DTMS arm (17.1%) significantly higher (p=0.0238) than sham arm (7.9%) up to 4 months. Secondary endpoints (CQR in subjects with diary records, cigarettes per day) also showed statistical significance. Adverse events: Headache (24% active vs 18% sham), application site discomfort (11.38% active vs 2.16% sham), and muscle twitching (5.69% active vs 0% sham) were reported.
Indicated for use as an aid in short-term smoking cessation for adults.

#### 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 scap. 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 the brain's neuronal pathways, localized axonal depolarizations are produced, thus activating neurons in the targeted brain structure.
The FDA cleared Brainsway Deep TMS System is composed of the following main components:
- 1. Electromagnetic Coil
- 2. TMS Neurostimulator
- 3. Cooling System
- 4. Positioning System and Helmet
- 5. Cart

The primary efficacy end-point, 4-week Continuous Quit Rate (CQR) was statistically significant ly higher (p-value=0.0238) in the DTMS arm (17.1%) than in the sham arm (7.9%) for the ITT-Safety population, (N=262), up to 4 months follow-up. Based on the primary efficacy analysis of the study, the Brainsway DTMS has a positive treatment outcome and has demonstrated a beneficial effect in short-term smoking cessation. The higher 4-week CQR in the active DTMS arm is clinically
{8}------------------------------------------------
meaningful and statistically significant compared to the sham. Prognostic factors were assessed by adding the factors to the logistic model one at the time, except subject sex that is one of the covariates. The type III p-values were: 0.1816 for the subject sex, 0.9189 for the subject age, 0.6966 for the treatment question, 0.1238 for the age of smoking onset, and 0.7869 for the duration of smoking at baseline. None of the prognostic factors were found statistically significant. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was substantiated by the secondary endpoints including the four-week CQR in subjects with at least 4 weeks of diary records in which the CQR was statistically significantly higher (p-value=0.0071) in the DTMS arm (27.3%) compared to the sham arm (11.3%)and the number of cigarettes smoked per day (per diary entry) was statistically significantly lower in the DTMS treatment arm compared to the sham arm. . In addition, the fourweek CQR up to the 6th week visit in which the CQR was statistically significantly higher (pvalue=0.0022) in DTMS arm (15.4%) than in the sham arm (4.3%).There were no individual adverse event types for which a significant difference between the study groups was found, except for application site discomfort and muscle twitching. Application site discomfort did not deter subjects from receiving the treatments.
The table below presents the most common adverse events reported in the clinical study in >5% or more of the patients who received the Brainsway DTMS Treatment or the sham (placebo) treatment. Safety information is provided from all patients who were treated in the clinical study.

#### DISCUSSION OF SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES:
The new Brainsway DTMS System and the predicate Brainsway DTMS System (DEN170078) are both identified under the same device classification (21 CFR 882.5802) for transcranial magnetic stimulation systems. The new Brainsway DTMS System is indicated for use as an aid in short-term smoking cessation. Heavy smoking (>10 cigarettes/day for more than 1 year) is considered an addiction, which is a psychiatric disorder or condition. The predicate device, Brainsway DTMS System (DEN170078) is intended for use as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from OCD. Both indications for use fall under the classification regulation, 21 CFR 882.5802, for a transcranial magnetic stimulation system for neurological and psychiatric disorders and conditions.
The design and mechanism of action of the Brainsway DTMS System is similar to the design and mechanism of action of the previously cleared Brainsway DTMS System (DEN170078). The components are exactly the same, including the use of the same Magstim stimulators and the incorporation of an electromagnetic coil. Both coils are designed for effective activation of desired brain areas. The operational procedure is similar in both DTMS Systems, although the treatment stimulation parameters are different and appropriate for the relevant treatment administered. The differences in the coils, treatment stimulation parameters and resulting electromagnetic fields produced by the coils and the stimulation of the brain areas do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Furthermore, performance testing, including the coil electrical and magnetic field distribution testing, demonstrates that the coil has output characteristics that are as safe as the predicate coil and the clinical performance testing, including the clinical results from the multicenter, Smoking Cessation clinical study, demonstrates that the coil is as effective as the predicate device in treating the specific psychiatric disorder/condition for which it is indicated to treat.
#### Conclusions:
In summary, the subject Brainsway DTMS System is substantially equivalent to the previous DeNovo granted predicate Brainsway DTMS System (DEN170078).
Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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.
