*DEN070003Neurostar TMS System
Our reading of the summary gave K061053, which is not in FDA’s 510(k) list. The device the summary names is FDA’s De Novo DEN070003, Neurostar TMS System (Neuronetics), granted Oct 7, 2008; older De Novo requests were first filed under a 510(k) number, so this links to the grant.
