The Ceribell EEG Analysis Software is intended for the review, monitoring and analysis of EEG recordings made by electroencephalogram (EEG) devices using scalp electrodes and to aid in the assessment of EEG. This device is intended to be used by qualified clinical practitioners who will exercise professional judgment in using the information.

The included calculation and display of a set of quantitative measures is intended to monitor and analyze the EEG waveform. These include frequency band metrics and burst suppression. These quantitative EEG measures should always be interpreted in conjunction with review of the original EEG waveforms.

The included aEEG functionality is intended to monitor the state of the brain.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
