Intended Use

The Comby EEG Cap is intended for use in routine clinical settings where rapid placement of a large number of EEG electrodes is desired.

Device Story

Comby EEG Cap is an electrode positioning system for EEG recording; consists of high-quality profile rubber net, SEBS plastic electrode holders, and electrodes (sintered Ag/AgCl or gold-coated plates). Used in clinical settings by neurologists; cap secured via Velcro chin strap and chest belt. Electrodes placed per International 10-20 System; conductive gel/paste applied to reduce impedance between scalp and recessed electrodes. Wires exit cap to form cable connecting to EEG equipment via adapter or 25-pin D-sub connector. Device transmits electrophysiological signals; does not provide stimulation. Benefits include rapid electrode placement, consistent positioning, and patient comfort due to SEBS mounts. Shorter cable lengths minimize environmental artifacts.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified against ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000 (R2015) for electrical safety and performance. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), and ISO 10993-10 (irritation and sensitization).

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Profile rubber net, SEBS (thermoplastic elastomer) electrode holders, Ag/AgCl or gold-coated electrodes. Form factor: Full head cap with 2-64 electrodes. Connectivity: Wired (25-pin D-sub or adapter). Standards: ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000 (R2015), ISO 10993-1/5/10. Passive device; no energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in routine clinical settings for rapid placement of EEG electrodes in adults and children to transmit electrophysiological signals to data collection devices.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

The Comby EEG Cap is made from high quality profile rubber net, electrode plastic holders made of SEBS and electrodes. Electrodes is made of two different conductors, sintered Ag/AgCl and gold coated plates. The EEG Comby Cap is fixed by Velcro tape holders which are fastened beneath the chin of the tested person. The cap holders is fixed to a belt, placed beneath the arms and around the chest of the tested person. The high quality profile rubber net holds the electrodes securely in position during the EEG recording. Wires are attached to each electrode and exit the cap to form a cable, which is used to connect the cap to the EEG equipment, either through an adapter cable, or directly to the equipment with the 25-pin D-sub connector. The electrical activity of the brain is transferred through the conductive Electro-Gel/paste to the recessed electrode and then to the EEG or computer equipment for evaluation. The electrodes on the standard caps are positioned in {5}------------------------------------------------ accordance with the International 10-20 System of electrode placement. In addition, the Comby EEG Cap with as few as 2 to as many as 64 electrodes. Comby EEG are also produced based on customer specified electrode placements, with electrodes made of Ag/AgC1 material. Customized wiring and connectors offer additional options. The Electro-Gel is used with external electrodes as the conductor between the scalp and the (recessed) electrodes. It also reduces impedance (resistance to alternating current) between the electrode surface and the skin "Electroconductive gel is a legally marketed product in US - K111717" information "Company Name: Electra-Cap International, Inc. 1011 West Lexington Road P.O.

Results indicate that the product complies with the applicable standard. The release test is also conducted on the product when it leaves the facility and the Performance release record is available in section 18. Compare to primary predicate devices specified and Comby EEG cap are same in, raw materials, physical features, and same manufacturing processes. The biocompatibility performance equiva- lence evidence of proposed electrode can be demonstrated according to ISO10993-1, ISO10993-5 and ISO10993-10. Clinical Data: Clinical testing is not required Non clinical data:Non clinical tests performed include Performance test :We performed electrical safety. The design of the Comby EEG cap is in conformance with performance in order to verify compliance according to the following technical specifications and standards: ANSI/ AAMI EC12:2000 (R2015) Disposable ECG Electrodes. {6}------------------------------------------------ Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, also known as SEBS, is an important thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which behaves like rubber without undergoing vulcanization. Mounts made of SEBS provide an effective hold of the electrodes in the position without producing any pressure around the muscles. Muscle pressure artifacts are very common in EEG recording, and should be minimized to achieve the best recording result. SEBS electrode mounts are also more comfortable for the patient. Comby EEG Caps have shorter cables when compared to the predicates. Shorter cables create less artifacts during the recoding form the environment. it is used on purpose to get better results as the recording can be made closer to patient without any environmental disturbance. In COMBY EEEG CAP, maximum of 64 electrodes are required to provide coverage for the complete scalp. The stated differences are made in the purpose of improving the EEG recording quality and patient comfort. Therefore COMBY EEG cap performs minimally as well or better that the predicates. All the differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device which is concluded after all the required testing, so there are no safety and effectiveness issues relating to the subject system. Clinical testing is not required We performed electrical safety. The design of the Comby EEG cap is in conformance with performance in order to verify compliance according to the following technical specifications and standards: ANSI/AAMI EC12:2000 (R2015) Disposable ECG Electrodes.
