## Indications for Use

The intended use for the BIOSACA is to record, monitor, display, print, store and transfer bioparameters such as brain, heart and muscle activity, eye movement, blood pressure, breathing and body movements. The BIOSACA unit is intended to be used on an Adult population and for use at home or in health care facilities. It is not intended for use as life support equipment such as vital signs monitoring in intensive care units. The unit may be used for electrocardiography, electroencephalography, electromyography, electrooculography ballistocardiography

## Device Story

BIOSACA is a multi-functional, ambulatory biological signal recorder; records up to 22 bioparameters (brain, heart, muscle activity, eye movement, blood pressure, breathing, body movements) via two headboxes, pulse oximeter, and sensor pad. Portable system designed for stationary or mobile operation in home or healthcare facilities. Operator (clinician) views signals in real-time during recording; data stored for later review. Facilitates diagnosis of neurological, cardiology, and sleep disorders. Not for life support or ICU vital signs monitoring. Benefits include minimal patient interaction requirements and silent operation for home use.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-functional ambulatory recorder; 22-channel input capacity (16 from headboxes, 3 from pulse oximeter, 3 from sensor pad). Supports AC/DC signal acquisition. Portable form factor for stationary or mobile use. Connectivity includes data storage and transfer capabilities. No specific materials or software architecture details provided.

## Regulatory Identification

An electroencephalograph is a device used to measure and record the electrical activity of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head.

Trade/Device Name: BIOSACA Regulation Number: 21 CFR 882.1400 Regulation Name: Electroencephalograph Regulatory Class: II Product Code: OLV, DQA, GWQ, MNR Dated (Date on orig SE ltr): December 18, 1998 Received (Date on orig SE ltr): December 23, 1998

Dear Ms. Campbell:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 12, 1999.

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 to 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Page 2 - Ms. Jane B.Campbell

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
