What is it indicated for?

The Vectorview is intended for use as a magneto encephalographic (MEG) device which non-invasively detects and displays biomagnetic signals produced by electrically active nerve tissue in the brain. When interpreted by a trained clinician, the data enhances the diagnostic capability by providing useful information about the location relative to brain anatomy of active nerve tissue responsible for critical brain functions.

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