The subject device, the Neuro Omega System with the incorporated Navigation Tool software is also intended: - To monitor, record, and display the bioelectric signals produced by muscles, to stimulate peripheral nerves, and to monitor, record, and display the electrical activity produced by nerves to aid the clinician in the diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular disease (EMG). - To measure, record, and display the electrical activity of the patient's brain obtained from two or more electrodes on the head (EEG). - To measure, display and record the electrical activity of the patient's brain obtained from ECOG strip and grid electrodes. - To provide stimulation via electrode pairs or a hand-held bipolar probe for use in functional brain mapping procedures during treatment of patients with a seizure disorder. The Neuro Omega with the incorporated installed Navigation tool software, is intended for intraoperative use by medical personnel. Within hospitals, laboratories, clinics, or nursing home settings or outside of a medical facility under the direct supervision of a medical professional. The device may also be placed in the intensive care unit or operating room for continuous recording. The NeuroSmart System with the incorporated Navigation Tool software, is intended to be used in assisting neurosurgeons, in the operating room during functional neurosurgery, to record from and stimulate brain motor and sensory neurons and to aid in the placement of depth electrodes.
Device Story
Neuro Omega and NeuroSmart systems are electrophysiological recording and stimulation platforms for functional neurosurgery. Inputs include bioelectric signals from micro/macro electrodes (MER), EEG, EMG, and ECoG. The Navigation Tool (improved HaGuide) software processes these inputs to detect STN (subthalamic nucleus) entrance/exit boundaries, provide stimulation location recommendations, and display real-time power spectral density (PSD) and RMS graphs. The system aids neurosurgeons in target localization and DBS lead placement. Data can be uploaded via secure internet connection (FTPS/HTTPS) to an Alpha Omega cloud server for neurologist review to assist in IPG programming. The Navigation Tool can operate on the system or as standalone software on an external PC for visualization. The device is used in ORs, ICUs, or clinics by neurosurgeons and medical personnel. It benefits patients by improving accuracy of electrode placement and facilitating post-operative programming.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification included software functionality, GUI performance, HaGuide algorithm accuracy (NRMS/PSD graphs), lead correlation feature, cybersecurity penetration testing (NIST SP 800-115, OSSTMM, OWASP), and EMC/FCC compliance (IEC 60601-1-2). All tests passed acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
System includes mobile rack, isolation transformer, PC, monitor, I/O units, and headstage components. Connectivity via Ethernet (1 GB) and USB. Software-based navigation tool for real-time signal processing. Cybersecurity controls include secure protocols (FTPS, HTTPS). Sterilization not applicable (system-level).
Indications for Use
Indicated for neurosurgical patients requiring functional neurosurgery, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode placement, brain mapping for seizure disorders, and diagnostic EMG/EEG/ECoG monitoring. Intended for use by medical personnel in hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes.

#### 2.3 Navigation Tool
The Navigation Tool SW can work in two modes:
- 1. The Navigation Tool can be installed on the Neuro Omega/ NeuroSmart Systems.
- 2. The Navigation Tool can work as a standalone software, for that purpose it can be installed on external PC to work in off-line mode.
In both modes the safety and effectiveness of the Neuro Omega and NeuroSmart systems are not compromised, as the Navigation Tool software is a non-blocking software (it doesn't affect the system's functionality even in malfunction). The Navigation Tool software can run in both modes without affecting the Neuro Omega system safety and effectiveness, nor its functionality.
The main use of the Navigation tool SW when it runs as a standalone software, is for

visual purpose only, meaning to receive data from the systems and present it in graphs. No changes are made to the retrieved data. Furthermore, the data will be used for verification only for the neurologist prior to fine-tuning the IPG work mode by using the IPG interface (not Alpha Omega's device).
The Navigation Tool provides an option to upload raw data and OR reports to the Alpha Omega server.
- . The raw data include the MER .mpx files and the workspace files that were saved during the surgery by the Neuro Omega or NeuroSmart system (if enabled by the user).
- The OR report includes all the HaGuide parameters, OR notes, stimulation . assessments, and lead recording.
The Alpha Omega server adheres to industry cybersecurity standards.
The Navigation Tool Software in both its modes, as a standalone software and a software installed on Neuro Omega/NeuroSmart systems, can upload data for storage via secured protocols (FTPS, HTTPS) to Alpha Omega server using the internet connectivity.
Neuro Omega/NeuroSmart software does not upload data to any web server. They are able to connect locally to the Navigation Tool, which is the only channel through which data can be uploaded to Alpha Omega server. The Navigation Tool cannot download or retrieve any data from Alpha Omega server.
