Intended Use
The REMI-AI Discrete Detection Module (REMI-AI DDM) is indicated for the analysis of REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. REMI-AI DDM is intended to be used by physicians qualified to analyze and interpret EEG who will exercise professional judgment in using the information. As an aide to the qualified physician's REMI EEG review, REMI-AI DDM marks previously acquired sections of REMI EEG that may correspond to neurological events of interest indicative of potential electrographic seizures lasting at least 10 seconds in duration. REMI-AI DDM is indicated for use with adult and pediatric patients (6+ years). REMI-AI DDM does not mark REMI EEG records in real time and does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition to the user.
Device Story
REMI-AI DDM is a SaMD that processes previously acquired 4-channel EEG data (bilateral, bipolar frontal and temporoparietal) from the REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System. The device automatically identifies and annotates potential electrographic seizures (≥10 seconds) within the EEG traces. It is used by physicians in clinical settings to assist in EEG review; it does not operate in real-time. The output consists of visual markers on the EEG record, which the physician reviews to exercise clinical judgment. The device does not provide diagnostic conclusions. By highlighting potential seizure events, it aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of EEG review, potentially benefiting patients by facilitating faster identification of neurological events.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical validation used 50 patient records (31 with seizures, 19 without) totaling 2,562.5 hours. Ground truth established by 3-expert epileptologist panel consensus. Primary endpoints: Sensitivity >70%, FAR <0.35 FP/hr. Results: Event-level sensitivity 86.2% (95% CI: 79.5% lower bound); mean per-patient sensitivity 92.2%. Event-level FAR 0.162 FP/hr (95% CI: 0.221 upper bound); mean per-patient FAR 0.176 FP/hr. Data included focal, focal-to-generalized, and generalized seizures across pediatric and adult populations in EMU and ambulatory settings.
Technological Characteristics
SaMD; analyzes 4-channel EEG data from REMI sensors. Algorithm identifies discrete seizure-like events. Software-based; no hardware components. Connectivity via REMI system integration. Developed per FDA guidance and recognized standards. Includes an authorized Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for future algorithm performance optimizations.
Indications for Use
Indicated for analysis of REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System recordings in adult and pediatric patients (6+ years) to assist qualified physicians in identifying potential electrographic seizures lasting ≥10 seconds. Not for real-time use; does not provide diagnostic conclusions.

# 9. Clinical Study
EEG data from adult and pediatric patients was used to 1) train the REMI-AI DDM algorithm to identify potential electrographic seizure events in a broad patient population, and 2) validate the REMI-AI DDM algorithm's ability to identify potential electrographic seizure events within an indicated patient population.
Patients at these sites wore REMI wireless EEG sensors at bilateral frontal and temporoparietal scalp sites alongside standard-of-care 19-channel, full-montaqe, video-EEG for up to 7 continuous days in Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMUs) or for up to 3 continuous days during athome ambulatory EEG monitoring.
EEG data used to generate a reference standard for REMI-AI DDM was collected from standard 19+channel wired 10-20 montage EEG records acquired concurrently with REMI 4-channel EEG. Prior to inclusion in the validation data set, all subjects' EEG records underwent panel review by 3 independent expert epileptologists. Experts consisted of a panel of 6 epileptologists, holding certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology or certification by the American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology with Special Competency in Epilepsy Monitoring. Consensus ground truth electrographic seizure negative determinations were made using the wired EEG records when at least 2 of 3 members identified the presence or absence of an electrographic seizure event.
The REMI-AI DDM validation data set consisted of 31 patient records with 87 consensusdetermined electrographic seizures lasting at least 10 seconds in duration, and 19 patient records with no consensus-determined electrographic seizures, for a total validation sample size

## 11. Clinical Validation
REMI-AI DDM validation was evaluated against a combined primary endpoint of Sensitivity > 70% and of a False Alarm Rate (FAR) < 0.35 FP/hr. REMI-AI DDM clinical validation testing demonstrated that REMI-AI DDM achieved Event-Level Sensitivity > 70% (with a calculated 95% Cl lower bound of 79.5%) and FAR < 0.35 False Positives (FP)/hr (with a calculated Cl upper bound of 0.221 FP/hr).
Across all 31 patients with seizures, the event-level Sensitivity was 86.2%. The Mean Per-Patient Sensitivity was determined to be 92.2%, with a 95% Cl Lower Bound of 86.5%, and ranged between 50% to 100%. Per-Patient Sensitivity was 100% for 23 of the 31 patients. At least one known event was detected for all 31 patients with seizures.
Across all 50 patients, the event-level FAR was 0.162 FP/hr (with 415 FP for 2.562.5 hours of data). The Mean Per-Patient FAR was determined to be 0.176 FP/hr, with a 95% Cl Upper Bound of 0.230, and ranged between 0 to 0.929 FP/hr. There were 17 patients with FARs ≤ 0.08 FP/hr, 8 patients with no more than one FP (including 4 non-seizure patients), and 4 patients with no FP, including 2 non-seizure patients.

## 12. Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP)
The REMI-AI DDM has been cleared by the US FDA with an Authorized PCCP. The REMI-AI DDM Authorized PCCP outlines authorized modifications intended to improve algorithm performance through expansion of the training data and/or through optimizations of the algorithm. The Authorized PCCP outlines REM-Al DDM's data management practices (i.e., how data is collected, annotated, curated, stored, retained, controlled, and used), re-training practices, how and when its performance is evaluated.
The Authorized PCCP also defines validation requirements for all algorithm updates. Prior to release, modifications are validated through testing against a previously established validation data set as well as an updated validation data set. Updates to REMI-AI DDM will be

implemented per the Authorized PCCP and through the Software Update process described in the user manual. Epitel will update the user manual following implemented changes and notify customers of software updates and of any changes they may experience, and these changes will be described in release notes viewable on the Epitel website.
# 13. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The REMI-AI Discrete Detection Module (DDM) subject device has the same intended use, similar indications for use and incorporates the same fundamental technology as the legally marketed predicate device to which it was compared, Persyst 14 EEG Review and Analysis Software. Based on intended use, technological characteristics, and performance testing, it can be concluded that the subject device, REMI-AI DDM, is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
