What is it indicated for?

The Sedline System is indicated for use in the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), and clinical research laboratory. It is intended to monitor the state of the brain by real-time data acquisition and processing of EEG signals. The system includes the Patient State Index (PSI), a proprietary computed EEG variable that is related to the effect of anesthetic agents.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
