The NeuroWorks is EEG software that displays physiological signals. The intended user of this product is a qualified medical practitioner trained in Electroencephalography. This device is intended to be used by qualified medical practitioners who will exercise professional judgment in using the information.
-The NeuroWorks EEG software allows acquisition, display, archive, review and analysis of physiological signals.
-The Seizure Detection component of NeuroWorks is intended to mark previously acquired sections of the adult (greater than or equal to 18 years) EEG recordings that may correspond to electrographic seizures, in order to assist qualified clinical practitioners in the assessment of EEG traces. EEG recordings should be obtained with full scalp montage according to the standard 10/20 system.
-The Spike Detection component of NeuroWorks is intended to mark previously acquired sections of the adult (greater than or equal to 18 years) EEG recordings that may correspond to electrographic spikes, in order to assist qualified clinical practitioners in the assessment of EEG traces. EEG recordings should be obtained with full scalp montage according to the standard 10/20 system.
-The aEEG functionality included in NeuroWorks is intended to monitor the state of the brain. The automated event marking function of NeuroWorks is not applicable to aEEG.
-NeuroWorks also includes the display of a quantitative EEG plot, Compressed Spectrum Array (CSA), which is intended to help the user to monitor and analyze the EEG waveform. The automated event marking function of NeuroWorks is not applicable to CSA.
