Indications for Use
The Neurosoft TMS system is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.
Device Story
Neurosoft TMS is a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) system; used for Major Depressive Disorder treatment. Device consists of main stimulator unit, cooling unit, power supply, figure-of-eight coils, coil holder, flexible positioning arm, and trolley. Principle of operation: high-voltage capacitor (1.8 kV) discharges through stimulation coil; generates pulsed magnetic fields (up to 10 kA) to induce electrical currents in prefrontal cortex neurons. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. System setup involves motor threshold determination and coil positioning. Output is repetitive magnetic pulse trains at predetermined frequencies. Modification allows variable inter-train intervals (11-26 seconds), reducing session duration from 37.5 to 18.8 minutes. Device includes automated safety shut-off if coil temperature exceeds 41°C. Benefits patients by providing non-invasive stimulation therapy for treatment-resistant depression.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Safety and effectiveness established via non-clinical performance testing and comparison to predicate devices.

## 8. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Neurosoft TMS is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (our own Neurosoft TMS and MagVita TMS Therapy System). The Neurosoft TMS and the predicate devices have identical intended use /indication for use, and technological characteristics. The principles of operation, the output stimulation parameters and the materials are equivalent to the predicates. The modification to the device allows a range of intervals from 11 to 26 seconds, rather than the fixed 26 second duration, which will allow a reduction in treatment time from 37.5 minutes to a minimum of 18.8 minutes.
The design of the Neurosoft TMS is similar to that of our predecessor Neurosoft TMS and the MagVita TMS Therapy System, as all systems are based on applying transcranial magnetic stimulation by means of repetitive pulse trains at a predetermined frequency. All systems use the same mechanism of action, i.e., an electromechanical instrument that produces and delivers brief duration, rapidly alternating (pulsed) magnetic fields to induce electrical currents in localized regions of the prefrontal cortex.
The basic software capabilities related to treatment administration in the Neurosoft TMS are the same as these in the predicate devices.
The Neurosoft TMS and the predicate devices have the same components consisting of TMS stimulator with software, electromagnetic coil and a flexible arm for positioning of the treatment coil. The basic operational procedures including system setup, patient preparations, motor threshold determination, coil positioning and treatment with predefined treatment stimulation parameters are essentially the same. A thorough comparison among the Neurosoft TMS and the predicate devices is shown in a tabular form below:

### 9. CONCLUSION
{9}------------------------------------------------
The Neurosoft TMS and the predicate devices have identical intended use /indication for use, target population, treatment position and all recommended standard treatment protocol parameters (intensity, frequency, number of pulses in a train, number of trains in a session, number of treatment sessions).
All coils compared in the above Table share the same transducer design (figure-of-eight). The tested magnetic properties of the Neurosoft TMS and the predicate devices are substantial equivalent for the coils.
The reliability of the positioning method used by the Neurosoft TMS is based on the direct relationship of the underlying cortical brain anatomy to the patient's scalp, as is the method used in the predicate devices. The method for identifying the correct treatment position in the Neurosoft TMS is at least as effective as the method employed by the predicate devices.
On the basis of the only modification of the treatment parameter, the Neurosoft TMS does not introduce any new safety considerations in comparison to the predicate device. All other identified differences between the two systems are minor and without any known impact on safety or efficacy.
Based on the information and supporting documentation provided in the premarket notification, the Neurosoft TMS is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices. Testing demonstrates that the Neurosoft TMS fulfills prospectively defined design and performance specifications.
