Intended Use
The Olympic Brainz Monitor (OBM) is a three channel electroencephalograph (EEG)
acquisition system intended to be used in a hospital environment to record, collect, display
and facilitate manual marking of aEEG recordings.
•The signals acquired from P3-P4, C3-P3 and C4-P4 channels are intended for use
only with neonatal patients (defined as from birth to 28 days post-delivery, and
corresponding to a postconceptual age of 24 to 46 weeks) to display aEEG for
monitoring the state of the brain.
•The signals acquired from P3-P4 channel is intended to assist in the assessment of
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy severity and long-term outcome, in full term
neonates (post-conceptual age of 37-46 weeks) who have suffered a hypoxic-
ischemic event.
•The RecogniZe seizure detection algorithm is intended to mark sections of
EEG/aEEG that may correspond to electrographic seizures in only the centro-parietal
regions of full term neonates (defined as from birth to 28 days post-delivery and
corresponding to a postconceptual age of 37 to 46 weeks). EEG recordings should be
obtained from centro-parietal electrodes (located at P3, P4, C3 and C4 according to
10/20 system). The output of the Recognize algorithm is intended to assist in post hoc
assessment of EEG/aEEG traces by qualified clinical practitioners, who will exercise
professional judgment in using the information.
•The Background Pattern classification algorithm is intended for neonatal patients,
defined as from birth to 28 days post-delivery, and corresponding to a post-conceptual
age of 37 to 46 weeks, in clinical environments such as the intensive care unit,
operating room, and for clinical research.
•To analyze and identify background patterns in aEEG, including continuous and
discontinuous activity, burst suppression, low voltage, and inactive patterns. The
aEEG must be obtained from a pair of parietal electrodes located at positions
corresponding with P3 and P4 of the International 10/20 System. The output of the
