## Indications for Use

The Sandman SD20 Amplifier is intended to be used by or under the direction of a physician for acquisition of EEG, polygraphy and polysomnography signals and transmission of these signals to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations.

## Device Story

Sandman SD20 Amplifier is a programmable system for acquiring bioelectric signals (EEG, EP, EMG, polysomnography, polygraphy) via surface leads/transducers. Device includes a headbox, amplifier box, PC interface (BE Net), and AC/DC adapter. It captures analog signals, performs A/D conversion, and transmits data to a host PC running amplification software. Includes an integrated Nellcor Puritan Bennett MP100 pulse oximeter module. Used in clinical settings under physician direction. Output is displayed on a PC for clinical review, aiding in neurophysiological diagnosis and sleep analysis.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

System consists of headbox, amplifier, and BE Net interface. Features 16-bit SAR A/D conversion, >100dB CMRR, and fiber optic isolation (CF type). Power via external IEC 601-1 AC/DC adapter. Connectivity via BE Net. Software is resident and runtime downloadable. Complies with IEC 601-1, IEC 601-1-2, and IEC 601-1-4 safety standards.

## Regulatory Identification

A physiological signal amplifier is a general purpose device used to electrically amplify signals derived from various physiological sources (e.g., the electroencephalogram).

#### Device Description

The Sandman SD20 Amplifer is a fully programmable system which provides a total of 22 analog input channels cach of which can be configured, amplified and converted to digital form (analog to digital conversion). The amplifier receives its power from a dedicated AC/DC adapter, meeting the IEC 601-1 requirements, which feeds a +15VDC. Internally, the +15VDC is further isolated by a dedicated DC/DC CF type converter.

The Sandman SD20 Amplifier is intended to be used to amplify and filter bioelectric signals captured via a lead or transducer on the surface of the human body. It captures the data, converts it into a digital form and passes it on to a host computer running appropriate amplification software. Typical fields of application will be: Electroencephalograph (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), Electromyography (EMG), Polysomnography (Sleep Analysis) and General Polygraphy.

The Sandman SD20 Amplifier contains a Pulse Oximeter module. The data measured from this module is passed to the host computer together with the other channels' data. The MP100 Pulse Oximeter module, developed by Nellcor Puritan Bennett, is substantially equivalent to Nellcor Puritan Bennett's MP400 Pulse Oximeter module cleared with EB Neuro's Mizar Amplifier via K003154.

The host computer must use one of the following Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows XP.

The Sandman SD20 Amplifier system consists of four interconnected units: the headbox, the amplifier box, the PC interface (BE Net/Sandman eLink) and the AC/DC adapter.

807.92(a)(5)

#### Intended Use(s)

The Sandman SD20 Amplifier is intended to be used by or under the direction of a physician for acquisition of EEG, polygraphy and polysomnography signals and transmission of these signals to a PC during recording of neurophysiology examinations.

Dear Ms. Densmore:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or 10 devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into cither class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
