Indications for Use
1. To record electrical activity of 2 muscles of the stomatognathic system, especially temporalis or masseter in To clinically monitor 2 different muscles as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation by recording the electrical activity of muscles of the stomatognathic system 3. To determine the degree of relaxation (intra-patient) of 2 muscles at rest To measure relative (intra-patient) levels of activity of 2 muscles during a functional act 4.
Device Story
M-Scan is a 2-channel, portable, battery-operated electromyographic (EMG) amplifier. It captures electrical signals from two muscles of the stomatognathic system. The device processes these inputs via high-gain differential input amplifiers, buffer amplifiers, full-wave rectifiers, and integrators. It provides bandwidth filtering (30-1000 Hz) and signal integration. The device is intended for use by clinicians to monitor muscle activity, assess relaxation, and evaluate treatment. Output is provided via a built-in digital display, allowing the clinician to observe relative muscle activity levels. The device is self-contained, requires no external connections, and is not connected to AC power, enhancing portability for clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed using a calibrated function generator and oscilloscope to verify amplification and band-pass filtering characteristics against the predicate device. Software validation testing was also conducted.
Technological Characteristics
Portable, battery-operated 2-channel EMG amplifier. Features high-gain differential input amplifiers, buffer amplifiers, full-wave rectifiers, and integrators. Bandwidth: 30-1000 Hz (± 3dB). Common mode rejection ratio ≥ 130 dB at 50/60 Hz. Includes built-in digital display. No external power or equipment interface. Hardware-based signal processing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring clinical monitoring of stomatognathic system muscles (e.g., temporalis, masseter) to aid in diagnosis and treatment evaluation, including assessment of muscle relaxation at rest and relative activity levels during functional acts.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A diagnostic electromyograph is a device intended for medical purposes, such as to monitor and display the bioelectric signals produced by muscles, to stimulate peripheral nerves, and to monitor and display the electrical activity produced by nerves, for the diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular disease.

### Product Description:
The M-Scan is a 2-channel, portable, battery operated electromyographic amplifier which includes: a) two (2) identical high-gain differential input amplifiers, b) two (2) buffer amplifiers, c) two (2) full wave rectifiers, and d) two (2) integrators. The overall amplification of the M-Scan is calibrated to 2500. The bandwidth filtering is set (fixed) from 30 Hz to 1000 Hz (± 3dB). The common mode rejection ratio is ≥ 130 dB at the power line frequency (50/60 Hz). The M-Scan does not include isolated power converter since it is battery operated, portable, and does not interface with any external equipment (it is never connected to the a-c line). Only three (3) functions are provided by the M-Scan: 1) amplification, 2) bandwidth limiting, and 3) integration of the signal for the integrated display.
### Intended Use of electromyography: (same as for the BioEMG III - K082927)
- 1. To record electrical activity of 2 muscles of the stomatognathic system, especially temporalis or masseter
- in To clinically monitor 2 different muscles as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation by recording the electrical activity of muscles of the stomatognathic system
- 3. To determine the degree of relaxation (intra-patient) of 2 muscles at rest
- To measure relative (intra-patient) levels of activity of 2 muscles during a functional act 4.

## Technological Characteristics:
The technological advantages of the M-Scan (compared to the predicate device) include:
- The M-Scan is a portable, self contained, battery operated unit with no requirement for any 1. external connections.
- The M-Scan is dedicated to simple tests comparing two muscles at rest or in function. 2.
- Due to its simplicity and low-power electronic components, the M-Scan will use less energy than 3. the predicate device.
- The functional characteristics of the M-Scan amplifiers are essentially identical to those of the 4. BioEMG III (K082927); literally the same I.C. components are used. See Appendix G.
- 5. New features of the M-Scan include: a) miniaturized, self contained operation, b) built-in rectification and averaging filter hardware, and c) built-in digital display
## Non-Clinical Test Data:
Utilizing a calibrated function generator and oscilloscope we have applied test signals to both instruments. In Appendix E we have supplied comparable graphic plots of the waveforms and the frequency response characteristics of both instruments. In the M-Scan it is clear that we have retained comparable levels of amplification and band-pass filtering as used in the BioEMG III predicate device. EMG testing was performed on the M-Scan. Software validation testing was performed on the software for the M-Scan. This submission does not contain clinical data.
# Conclusion:
Based on the information provided concerning the M-Scan is substantially equivalent to the declared predicate of the BioEMG III (K082927).
