What is it indicated for?

The Eclipse neurological workstation is intended for use to monitor sensory and motor pathways in the operating room and critical care areas. The instrument uses electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), motor and sensory evoked potentials and nerve potentials to provide health care professionals with information to help assess a patient's neurological status. Transcranial stimulation techniques for motor evoked potentials are used to assess for acute dysfunction in axonal conduction of the corticospinal tract.

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