The MSA-21 intended use is for the measurement of Galvanic Skin Respons

Device Story

The MSA-21 (Meridian Stress Assessment) is a Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) measurement device. It functions by measuring skin electrical conductance to assess stress. The device utilizes specialized probes and electrodes connected via distinct, non-interchangeable connectors (3-pin and 7-pin mini-DIN) to ensure safe operation. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals to obtain physiological measurements. The output provides data on skin response, which clinicians use to evaluate patient stress levels. The device is designed for clinical settings.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device underwent safety and performance testing, including electrical safety (UL 2601-1, CSA C22.2 No 601.1, EN60601-1, IEC 601-1) and emissions/immunity testing (EN60601-1-2:1993). No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Galvanic Skin Response measurement device. Features 3-pin mini-DIN electrode connector and 7-pin mini-DIN probe connector to prevent connection errors. Complies with UL 2601-1, CSA C22.2 No 601.1, EN60601-1, IEC 601-1, and EN60601-1-2:1993 standards. Class II device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the measurement of Galvanic Skin Response. Patient population and contraindications not specified.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A galvanic skin response measurement device is a device used to determine autonomic responses as psychological indicators by measuring the electrical resistance of the skin and the tissue path between two electrodes applied to the skin.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 882.9.

Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image is a logo for "The Human Calibration Company BioMeridian". The logo features a geometric design in the center, resembling interlocking shapes. The text "THE HUMAN CALIBRATION COMPANY" is arranged in a circular fashion around the geometric design. Below the design, the word "BioMeridian" is written in a larger, bold font.

The MSA-21 has undergone an extensive battery of tests to insure safety. The unit design was safety intense from the outset. Small details such as using a 3 pin mini Din connector for the electrode and a 7 pin mini Din connector for the probe so they could not be inserted into the wrong plug are just one example. This quest for safety included all MSA-21 accessories. BioMeridian, Inc. also submitted the MSA-21 to Intertek Testing Services for test and evaluation. The MSA-21 fully passed the following test:

Medical Electrical Equipment (see attachment # 3)

a) UL 2601-1

- b) CSA C22.2 No 601.1
Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety (see attachment # 4)

- a) EN60601-1
- b) IEC 601-1

Emissions and Immunity Testing (see attachment # 5)

a) EN60601-1-2:1993

In summary the MSA-21 meets or exceeds all the safety requirements for a medical device in its class. Our dedication to safety is evidenced in the many extra steps we have taken to insure a safe product. Also the MSA-21 has met all the requirements and has received a registered CE mark.
