Intended Use

The intended use of the Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems. Inc. NeuroPort Microelectrode Array System is for temporary (< 30 days) recording and monitoring of brain electrical activity.

Device Story

NeuroPort Array is a silicon-based microelectrode array with 100 electrode contacts (4 mm x 4 mm) designed for implantation in the brain cortex for up to 30 days. It captures local field potentials and extracellular spikes, transmitting neural signals via a patient cable to the NeuroPort System for display and recording. The device is implanted using a pneumatic Inserter Wand, which supports specific insertion depths (1.0 mm or 1.5 mm). Used in clinical, operating room, or epilepsy monitoring unit environments by trained medical professionals. The system provides clinicians with real-time neural data to assist in monitoring brain electrical activity. The 1.5 mm variation allows for signal acquisition from deeper cortical layers compared to the 1.0 mm version.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included confirmation of electrode impedance characteristics and verification of Inserter Wand dimensional changes to ensure compatibility with the 1.5 mm array variation. No clinical data was provided.

Technological Characteristics

Silicon substrate microelectrode array; 100 electrode contacts; 4 mm x 4 mm footprint; electrode impedance 0.1 to 1.0 Meg ohms; pneumatic insertion mechanism; sterile; intended for temporary (< 30 days) implantation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for temporary (< 30 days) recording and monitoring of brain electrical activity in patients requiring intracranial neural signal acquisition.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A depth electrode is an electrode used for temporary stimulation of, or recording electrical signals at, subsurface levels of the brain.

#### 1.0 Description of Device

The NeuroPort Array connects to the NeuroPort System (510(k) K042626 and K060523). This combination of devices supports recording and display of local field potentials and extra cellular spikes from the brain. The NeuroPort System is not modified by this 510(k) submission.

The NeuroPort Array has 100 electrode contacts on a silicon substrate of 4 mm by 4 mm. The NeuroPort Array is implanted in the cortex of the brain for less than 30 days. The NeuroPort Array passes neural activity of the brain cortex to the NeuroPort System through the Patient Cable.

File: 1-5 mm Array 510k 1-23-2007

{1}------------------------------------------------

The NeuroPort Array consists of high impedance electrodes. The NeuroPort Array impedance is in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 Meg ohms per electrode.

The modification described within this 510(k) submission is summarized as providing a 1.5 mm length NeuroPort Array option in addition to the cleared to market 1,0 mm NeuroPort Array option. The 1,5 mm length variation has the following features and properties in common with the 1.0 mm NeuroPort Array:

- 1. Same materials.
- 2. Same manufacturing processes.
- 3. Same insertion technique,
- Same package and terminal sterilization process. 4.

Along with the longer NeuroPort Array, the Inserter Wand applied to place the NeuroPort Array is modified to support a variation with the 0.5 mm additional insertion depth.

#### 1.2 Clinical Application

The NeuroPort Array, with the NeuroPort System, is used in clinical, operating room and epilepsy monitoring unit environments. This 510(k) does not affect the environment of use of the NeuroPort Array and NeuroPort System.

The NeuroPort Array is placed in brain tissue to support recording of cell potentials. Placement of the NeuroPort Array is accomplished by an Inserter Wand. The Inserter Wand is a pneumatic device that supports placement of the NeuroPort Array to the desired depth. The Inserter Wand is modified to two variations, a 1.0 mm and a 1.5 mm variation. The 1.0 mm Inserter Wand is cleared to market with the 1.0 mm NeuroPort Array, 510(k) K042384.

The 1.0 mm Inserter Wand variation is modified to allow the inserter to travel an additional 0.5 mm to support insertion of the 1.5 mm NeuroPort Array. Section 7.0 explains the Inserter Wand changes and evaluation of conformance.

With the 1.5 mm electrode length option, the user is given the opportunity to acquire signals from a deeper level of the brain than the 1.0 mm NeuroPort Array. The selection of NeuroPort Array variation is at the discretion of the user.

#### 2.0 Intended use of Device

The intended use of the modified NeuroPort Array is the same as the unmodified NeuroPort Array:

The intended use of the Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems. Inc. NeuroPort Microelectrode Array System is for temporary (< 30 days) recording and monitoring of brain electrical activity.

#### 3.0 Technological Characteristics

The technical characteristics of the modified NeuroPort Array are the same as those of the unmodified NeuroPort Array.

#### 4.0 Data Summary

Testing of the NeuroPort Array modification was performed in compliance with the Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, Inc. design control process. Testing included:

- 1. Confirmation of NeuroPort Array impedance characteristics,
- 2. Confirmation of Inserter Wand dimensional changes.

Testing is completed. No safety or effectiveness concerns remain.

#### 5.0 Conclusions

The safety and effectiveness of the modified NeuroPort Array was demonstrated by testing in compliance with the Design Control process. The intended use and technology of the modified NeuroPort Array is the same as the unmodified NeuroPort Array. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised.
