Intended Use
The ICS Chartr EP 200 is indicated for auditory evoked potential testing as an aid in detecting hearing loss and lesions in the auditory pathway.
Device Story
ICS CHARTR EP 200 is a PC-based auditory evoked potential system. It consists of software modules, isolation transformer, hardware platform, pre-amplifier, mains adapter, and stimulation/recording devices. Stimulation and recording devices connect to the pre-amp, which links to the hardware platform, connecting to a PC via USB. The system performs auditory evoked potential testing (ALR, AMLR, P300, PediScreen) to aid in detecting hearing loss and auditory pathway lesions. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Output is displayed on the PC for clinician interpretation to support diagnostic decision-making regarding patient hearing status.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. The device is an auditory evoked response system for replacement of existing, market-accepted technology. Safety and effectiveness are established through bench testing and compliance with international standards for medical electrical equipment (EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, EN 60601-2-26, EN 60601-2-40).
Technological Characteristics
PC-based system with external hardware platform; USB connectivity to PC. Complies with EN 60601-1 (general safety), EN 60601-1-2 (EMC), EN 60601-2-26 (electroencephalographs), and EN 60601-2-40 (evoked response equipment). Software runs on Windows XP (32-bit). Power source: Mains. Includes pre-amplifier, stimulation, and recording devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for auditory evoked potential testing as an aid in detecting hearing loss and lesions in the auditory pathway in patients requiring clinical assessment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An evoked response auditory stimulator is a device that produces a sound stimulus for use in evoked response measurements or electroencephalogram activation.
