The Ceribell Seizure Detection Software is intended to mark previously acquired sections of EEG recordings in patients greater or equal to 1 year of age that may correspond to electrographic seizures in order to assist qualified clinical practitioners in the assessment of EEG traces. The Seizure Detection Software also provides notifications to the user when detected seizure prevalence is "Frequent", "Abundant”, or "Continuous, per the definitions of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society Guideline 14. Delays of up to several minutes can occur between the beginning of a seizure and when the Seizure Section notifications will be shown to a user.

The Ceribell Seizure Detection Software does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the subject's condition and Seizure Detection notifications cannot be used as a substitute for real time monitoring of the underlying EEG by a training expert.

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