Intended Use

Zenith is an electroneurodiagnostic device that accepts, measures, and stores electrical activity of the brain via scalp and intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) signals, and, utilizing an integrated switch matrix, relays stimulation signals to the patient. It can obtain, display and store electrophysiological data from the central nervous system, generated either spontaneously or elicited by well-defined stimuli. The data is used to perform neurodiagnostic evaluations, including EEG and direct cortical stimulation. Zenith Cadwell acquisition software. Zenith is used by or under the direction of a licensed physician, surgeon, or neurologist in a professional healthcare facility environment for pre-operative, intraoperative testing on patients of all ages.

Device Story

High channel-count EEG system; acquires, stores, and reviews neurophysiological data; performs cortical stimulation via optional stimulator and integrated switch matrix. Inputs: scalp/intracranial EEG signals; photic stimulation; pulse oximetry.
