Indications for Use
The QP-160AK Trend program is a software-only device intended to be installed on the EEG-1200A series electroencephalograph to record, calculate, and display EEG data obtained from the EEG-1200A system. This device is intended to be used by qualified medical practitioners, trained in Electroencephalography, who will exercise professional judgment when using the information. The intended use for each of the software's outputs is as follows: - The EEG and aEEG waveforms are intended to help the user monitor the state of the brain. - The user-defined Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) parameters of this software (FFT power) are intended to help the user analyze the EEG waveform. - The burst suppression parameters of this software (interval and bursts per minute) are intended to aid in the identification and characterization of areas of burst suppression pattern in the EEG. This device does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the patient's condition to the user.
Device Story

verification testing to ensure conformance to all design requirements. Additionally, the system has undergone comparison testing to ensure the substantial equivalence of the calculation and display of the burst suppression ratio and aEEG. These tests verified that the device performed within specifications.
# Conclusion of Substantial Equivalence:
- The comparison of technological characteristics and performance testing of the QP-. 160AK EEG Trend Program demonstrate that its safety, effectiveness, and performance are equivalent to the specified predicate devices.
