Intended Use

The Ceribell Pocket EEG Device is intended to record and to present the EEG signals in visual and audible formats in real time. The visual and audible signals assist trained medical staff to make neurological diagnoses. The Pocket EEG Device is intended to be used in a professional healthcare facility environment. Additionally, the EEG Recording Viewer Software component of the Pocket EEG Device incorporates a Seizure Detection component that is intended to mark previously acquired sections of EEG recordings in patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age that may correspond to electrographic seizures in order to assist qualified clinical practitioners in the assessment of EEG traces. The Seizure Detection component provides notifications to the user when detected seizure prevalence is "Frequent," "Abundant," or "Continuous," per the definitions of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society Guideline 14. Notifications include an on-screen display on the Pocket EEG Device and the optional sending of an e-mail message to a clinician. Delays of up to several minutes can occur between the beginning of a seizure and when the Seizure Detection notifications will be shown to a user. The Pocket EEG Device does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the subject's condition and Seizure Detection notifications cannot be used as a substitute for real time monitoring of the underlying EEG by a trained expert.

In general, ICU patients who receive EEG monitoring present with one or more neurological diagnoses that are potentially indicate an increased risk of seizures. EMU patients typically have a prior history of seizures that warrants EEG monitoring. ## Enrollment The validation dataset was obtained from previous studies that retrospectively reviewed all adult EEGs from patients who underwent inpatient EEG monitoring over a period of time. Data from one hospital was used for ICU EEG data, and data from a second hospital was used for EMU EEG data. From the ICU and EMU source datasets, a total of 60 subjects aged 18 or older were randomly selected for inclusion in the Ceribell seizure detection validation study; 30 from the ICU dataset and 30 from the EMU dataset. ## Masking All of the EEG data used for Ceribell's seizure detection vas retrospectively obtained from pre-existing EEG databases. The EEG trained neurologists who reviewed the data to provide the clinical reference were masked. The EEGs used for the validation protocol were selected with {8}------------------------------------------------ no knowledge of how the Ceribell or Persyst 13 seizure detection would perform. No patients from the validation dataset were used for algorithm training or development. #### General Summary The following is a summary of the validation procedure performed: - A validation dataset of full montage EEG recordings obtained from adult (18 years and older) . patients were chosen for validation testing. This dataset was completely separate and independent from the data used to design and train the algorithm. - A reference standard was established for the validation dataset by EEG trained neurologists ● who reviewed and annotated the EEG recordings for seizure episodes. - . Both Ceribell Pocket EEG Device and predicate Persyst 13 (K151929) Seizure Detection modules were run on the validation dataset and performance metrics were calculated for each as compared to the reference standard established per above. - Statistical analysis was performed on the results to evaluate and compare the performance to the ● predetermined acceptance criteria. #### Selection of Validation Sets The validation was performed as a retrospective analysis of EEG data gathered from patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU). These two locations are representative of EEGs taken throughout the hospital environment and thus reflect the intended use of the subject device. For the validation data set, 50% of the data was from the ICU and 50% was from the EMU. The reference standard for the validation data set was obtained by having trained experts review and annotate the EEG files for onset and conclusion of seizure episodes. The expert EEG reviewers used to generate the reference standard were affiliated with multiple different institutions. All were fellowship trained in epilepsy or clinical neurophysiology. To validate seizure detection notifications, positive percent agreement (PPA) and false positives/ hour (FP/hr) were calculated for the Ceribell Seizure Detection module and Persyst 13 with respect to the reference standard. The three levels of seizure detection notification for Ceribell ("Frequent," "Abundant," and "Continuous") are additive – the "Frequent" notification must always occur first before the "Abundant" or "Continuous" notification. Therefore, it is most relevant to compare the Ceribell "Frequent" notification output to the Persyst 13 seizure notification output. The Ceribell "Frequent" notification output represents the detection of 30 seconds or more of seizure activity within a 5-minute moving window. The Persyst 13 seizure notification output represents the detection of 11 seconds or more of continuous seizure activity. There is no clinically relevant distinction between these two types of notifications. The validation protocol requires that the PPA and FP/hr for the Ceribell "Frequent" notification output must be statistically non-inferior to the Persyst 13 seizure detection notification output. Additionally, to assess device effectiveness and clinical utility, performance of all Ceribell's notification levels, "Frequent," "Abundant," and "Continuous," with respect to the reference standard are calculated and presented with the results along with their 95% confidence intervals. The criteria for minimally acceptable device performance was to have a positive percent agreement with a 95% CI lower bound above 70% and a false positive rate with a 95% CI upper bound below 0.446 per hour. Page 6 of 9 {9}------------------------------------------------ Validation was based upon demonstrating that Ceribell was non-inferior to Persyst 13 with a 10% noninferiority Margin. # Results of Clinical Performance Testing | Table 4: Contingency Table of Ceribell Device Output For "Abundant" Notification With Respect To Clinical Reference For<br>The Validation Dataset | | | | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|--------| | | | Clinical Reference<br>(Review and Annotation of validation datasets by EEG-trained neurologists) | | | | | | | No seizure or Seizure<br>Duration < 150 seconds | 150 seconds ≤<br>Seizure Duration<br>270 seconds | Seizure Duration<br>≥ 270 seconds | Total | | Ceribell<br>Device<br>Output | Below 50%<br>Threshold (no<br>"Abundant"<br>notification<br>provided) | NA | 2 | 1 | 3 | | | Above 50%<br>Threshold<br>("Abundant"<br>notification<br>provided) | FP/hr = 0.1996 | 18 | 22 | 40 | | | Total | NA | 20 | 23 | 43 | | | Sensitivity | NA | 90.0% | 95.6% | 93.02% | | Table 5: Contingency Table of Ceribell Device Output For "Continuous" Notification With Respect To Clinical Reference For<br>The Validation Dataset | | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-------| | Ceribell<br>Device<br>Output | Clinical Reference<br>(Review and Annotation of validation datasets by EEG-trained neurologists) | | | | | No seizure or Seizure<br>Duration < 270 seconds | Seizure Duration ≥ 270<br>seconds | Total | | Below 90%<br>Threshold (no<br>"Continuous"<br>notification<br>provided) | NA | 2 | 2 | | Above 90%<br>Threshold<br>("Continuous"<br>notification<br>provided) | FP/hr = 0.1247 | 21 | 21 | | Total | NA | 23 | 23 | | Sensitivity | NA | 91.3% | 91.3% | {10}------------------------------------------------ ## Reference Standards ## For both the ICU and EMU datasets: The neurologist reviews are completed prior to the start of any validation testing, and the same reference standard is used to test the performance of both the Ceribell seizure detection feature and the Persyst 13 seizure detection. Therefore, it is not possible for a neurologist to bias his or her review in a way that affects the outcome of the validation testing. EEG trained neurologists (physicians who have obtained fellowship training in epilepsy or neurophysiology) reviewed and annotated the EEG recordings for seizure episodes. Each seizure episode was manually annotated by an expert panel, with agreement between at least two neurologists required to determine the reference standard. ## Pass Fail Criteria The seizure detection notification tests performed and their acceptance criteria are summarized below in Table 6.

The false positive rate ranged from 0.1247 to 0.2145. {11}------------------------------------------------ | Table 8: Performance Metrics for Seizure Notifications for All Three of Ceribell's Level of Seizure Activity<br>Notification, As Compared To Reference Standard | | | | | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|---------------------|-------------------------------------------|--------|-----------------|---------------------------------------------| | Ceribell Seizure<br>Activity Notification<br>Level | PPA | PPA<br>95% CI | Conformance to PPA<br>Acceptance Criteria | FP/hr | FP/hr<br>95% CI | Conformance to FP/hr<br>Acceptance Criteria | | "Frequent" | 94.67% | [90.00%,<br>97.33%] | 90.00% > 70%,<br>therefore, PASS | 0.2145 | [0.119, 0.351] | 0.351 < 0.446, therefore,<br>PASS | | "Abundant" | 93.02% | [81.39%, 100%] | 81.39% > 70%,<br>therefore, PASS | 0.1996 | [0.093, 0.381] | 0.381 < 0.446, therefore,<br>PASS | | "Continuous" | 91.30% | [78.26%, 100%] | 78.26% > 70%,<br>therefore, PASS | 0.1247 | [0.054, 0.272] | 0.272 < 0.446, therefore,<br>PASS | # Conclusion The Ceribell Pocket EEG Device has the same intended use as the predicate devices. In addition, it has similar technological characteristics. Evaluation of the results and the test methods to account for different technological characteristics of the submitted performance data demonstrated that differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and predicates do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the Ceribell Pocket EEG Device is substantially equivalent to the predicates.
