## Indications for Use

The intended use of the Opti-Amp DC-Powered device is to acquire evoked potentials. This is the same intended use as that of the original IHS Opti-Amp, which was previously cleared as 510(k) number K914876.

## Device Story

Opti-Amp DC-Powered is a bio-amplifier system consisting of a transmitter and receiver; designed to acquire evoked potentials from patient skin surface via electrodes. Device functions as a physiological signal amplifier. Primary modification from predicate involves power source: subject device utilizes medical-grade power supply with high-isolation voltage DC-DC converter, whereas predicate utilized internal DC batteries. Used by trained personnel in clinical settings (hospitals, nurseries, audiologist offices) to facilitate diagnostic signal acquisition.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Bio-amplifier system; transmitter and receiver configuration. Power source: medical-grade power supply with high-isolation voltage DC-DC converter. Intended for surface electrode signal acquisition. No software or algorithm details provided.

## 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).

This is the same intended use as<br>that of the original IHS Opti-Amp, which was previously cleared<br>as 510(k) number K914876.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Technological Characteristics: | The Opti-Amp DC-Powered device is similar to the predicate<br>device in its intended use and methodologies. The intended use<br>of the device has not changed as a result of modifications to the<br>general or electrical specifications of the device.<br>The Opti-Amp  DC-Powered device technologically differs from i<br>the predicate device in that the power supplied to the Opti-Amp<br>DC-Powered Transmitter device is provided by a medical grade<br>power supply with additional protection provided by a high<br>isolation voltage DC-DC converter. The power supplied to the<br>predicate device's transmitter is provided by commercially<br>available dc batteries (housed internally). |
