What FDA cleared it for

The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.

, post -traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) is a neurological and psychiatric disorder or condition, as is obsessive compulsive disorder (“OCD”) associated with the predicate device’s indications for use. There is extensive evidence of similar underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of action in the two disorders, suggesting the potential for similar response to neuromodulation. The differences in design and indications for use when comparing the MeRT System and the cited predi cate are not significant and do not result in differing questions of safety and effectiveness. As can be seen in the table below, the identical performance specifications can be found in the TMS Stimulator, coils for motor threshold determination and treatment coil, power source, pulse type, pulse width, cooling, max coil temperature, peak magnetic field strength, peak magnetic field gradient. Differences in

K260402, FDA decision document · source

The product code's definition, from FDA's classification record. External device that uses magnetic fields to induce neural activity in the cerebral cortex to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders and conditions. It is not intended for applying or focusing magnetic fields in brain areas outside cerebral cortex (e.g., cerebellum).

Adverse-event reports in MAUDE, by product code

As of , MAUDE held 1 report filed against devices carrying product code SIG. That code is shared by every device of this type, not this device alone, and MAUDE reports are submitted by manufacturers, facilities and the public without FDA verification. The latest reports, in the reporter’s words:

30 September 2026 · Injury · Magventure rTMS · report MW6003227

I received rtms(REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION) from (b)(6) starting in (b)(6) starting on (b)(6) 2025, ending on (b)(6) 2025. While receiving tms i informed them that I was experiencing adverse side-effects, including pain behind my eye, negative thoughts, bad memories, anxiety, panic and was told it was a part of the procedure. They adjusted the machine several times during my treatment and never noted it on myreports, along with my complaints. I was switched clinics to the […]

Where this fits
