The Omega Whole-Cortex MEG System is intended for use as a magnetoencephalographic (MEG) device, which non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. When interpreted by a trained physician, the data enhances the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active tissue responsible for critical brain functions.
Device Story
Omega Whole-Cortex MEG System measures magnetic signals from intercellular dendritic currents using up to 307 dc-SQUID axial gradiometers in a helmet-shaped array. System integrates sensors with workstation computers and data acquisition software to record brain electrical activity simultaneously. Operated by trained clinicians in a clinical setting; output displayed for physician interpretation to localize active brain regions and correlate with anatomical data. Modification includes increased auxiliary channels, updated electronics, and new operating system software. Provides diagnostic information for neurosurgical planning and epilepsy localization; benefits patients by enabling non-invasive functional brain mapping.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technical and functional comparisons of the modified system to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
System utilizes up to 307 dc-SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) axial gradiometers. Helmet-shaped sensor array. Includes workstation computers, data acquisition electronics, and software/firmware. Connectivity via integrated data acquisition system. Non-invasive measurement of biomagnetic signals.
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-invasive measurement of magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and optional electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from electrically active brain tissue. Used to localize active brain areas, identify visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motor cortex locations (with evoked response averaging), and locate regions of epileptic activity. Used in neurosurgical planning in conjunction with other diagnostic data.
Regulatory Classification
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.

### Predicate Device Information
CTF Systems Inc. Whole-Cortex MEG System as cleared by K971329
#### Device Description
The Omega Whole-Cortex MEG Systems integrate up to 307 dc-SQUID axial gradiometers with workstation computers and data acquisition software in order to measure the magnetic signals generated by intercellular dendritic currents. These detectors positioned in a helmet shaped array gives the user the ability to record electrical activity of the entire surface of the brain simultaneously without having to move the position of the probe.

# Description of Modification
The Omega Whole-Cortex MEG System was modified to increase the number of auxiliary channels, include changes to the electronics of the device, including the software/firmware that control the operation of the electronics, and the addition of a new software operating system for the MEG System.
### Indications for Use
MEG System non-invasively Omega Whole-Cortex measures the The magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals (and, optionally, electroencephalographic (EEG) signals) produced by electrically active tissue of the brain. These signals are recorded by a computerized data acquisition system, displayed, and may then be interpreted by trained physicians to help localize these active areas. The locations may then be correlated with anatomical information of the brain. MEG is routinely used to identify the locations of visual, auditory, somatosensory, and motor cortex in the brain when used in conjunction with evoked response averaging devices. MEG is also used to non-invasively locate regions of epileptic activity within the brain. The localization information provided by MEG may be used, in conjunction with other diagnostic data, in neurosurgical planning.
### Intended Use
Whole-Cortex MEG System is intended for use The Omega as a magnetoencephalographic (MEG) device, which non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. When interpreted by a trained physician, the data enhances the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active tissue responsible for critical brain functions.
