## Indications for Use

The BT-1000 external Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation System is indicated for treatment of pediatric Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a monotherapy in patients ages 7 through 12 years old who are not currently taking prescription ADHD medications. The device is to be used for patient treatment by prescription only and is intended to be used in the home under the supervision of a caregiver during periods of sleep.

## Device Story

BT-1000 is an external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) system for pediatric ADHD. It delivers non-invasive electrical stimulation to the trigeminal nerve via forehead-placed electrodes. The device is used at home by patients during sleep (7-9 hours) under caregiver supervision. It functions as a prescription-only monotherapy. The device transforms electrical energy from a rechargeable battery into a specific stimulation waveform (30s ON, 1s ramp down, 30s OFF, 1s ramp up) to modulate brain structures associated with ADHD. The healthcare provider prescribes the device; the caregiver oversees nightly application. The output is intended to alleviate ADHD symptoms. The device includes an On/Off button for patient/caregiver control and status indicators.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Plastic ABS housing; rechargeable lithium-ion battery; Type BF electrical protection. Stimulation via cutaneous electrodes (7.1 cm^2 surface area). Waveform: 30s ON, 1s ramp down, 30s OFF, 1s ramp up. Max output 10mA, 2.5 uC/pulse, 250 us phase duration. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-10. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1, 5, 10, 23.

## Regulatory Identification

A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prescription device that stimulates transcutaneously or percutaneously through electrodes placed on the forehead.

Dear Goeun Choi:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Electrical stimulator that alleviate the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a psychological mental disorder, by non-invasively stimulating cranial nerves with fine electrical stimulation using extracorporeal electrodes.

The treatment protocol using the BT-1000 is administered each night while the patient is sleeping, for 7-9 hours. The device is designed to provide non-invasive electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve via an electrode placed on the forehead. The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve and has three major sensory divisions of the face, all of which are bilateral.

The trigeminal nerve provides a direct connection to multiple brain structures implicated in ADHD and other neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders.

# Comparison between Subject and Predicate Device

# 1) Similarities

The subject device has the same indications for use as the predicate device. It also has the same performance parameters, such as physical state, technical method, stimulating surface area of the electrode, and the same technical specifications, such as maximum output current, net charge per pulse, and maximum current density, indicator, expected service life(battery), battery type, electrical protection, and etc. Regarding the technical specification about electric power and current, please refer to performance testing result.

The requirements for the Basic Documentation Level presented in the FDA Guidance "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" are equivalent to the MODERATE level of

{10}------------------------------------------------

concern in the previous obsolete Guidance. Therefore, the Software Documentation Level of the subject device is considered to be the same as that claimed in the Predicate Device.

### 2) Discussion

Based on the similarities between the subject device and the predicate device, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. And, safety and biocompatibility testing confirmed that the subject device was producing the intended performance advocated by the subject device. Therefore, BT-1000 is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device and can be safely marketed.
