BrainScope TBI is a multi-modal, multi-parameter assessment indicated for use as an adjunct to standard clinical practice to aid in the evaluation of patients who have sustained a closed head injury, and have a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15 (including patients with concussion/mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)). BrainScope TBI provides a multi-parameter measure (CI) to aid in the evaluation of concussion in patients between the ages of 13-25 years who present with a GCS score of 15 following a head injury within the past 72 hours (3 days), in conjunction with a standard neurological assessment of concussion. The CI is computed from a multivariate algorithm based on the patient's electroencephalogram (EEG), augmented by neurocognitive measures and selected clinical symptoms. The BrainScope TBI Structural Injury Classification ("SIC") uses brain electrical activity (EEG) to determine the likelihood of structural brain injury visible on head CT for patients between the ages of 18-85 years (have a GCS score of 13 – 15), have sustained a closed head injury within the past 72 hours (3 days) who are being considered for a head CT. BrainScope TBI should not be used as a substitute for a CT scan. Negative likely corresponds to those with no structural brain injury visible on head CT. Positive likely corresponds to those with a structural brain injury visible on head CT. Equivocal may correspond to structural brain injury visible on head CT or may indicate the need for further observation or evaluation. BrainScope TBI provides a measure of brain Function Index, (BFI)) for the statistical evaluation of the human electroencephalogram (EEG), aiding in the evaluation of head injury as part of a multi-modal, multi-parameter assessment, in patients 18-85 years of age (have a GCS score of 13 - 15) who have sustained a closed head injury within the past 72 hours (3 days). The BrainScope TBI device is intended to record, measure, analyze, and display brain electrical activity utilizing the calculation of standard quantitative EEG (QEEG) parameters from frontal locations on a patient's forehead. The BrainScope TBI calculates and displays raw measures for the following standard QEEG measures: Absolute and Relative Power, Asymmetry, Coherence and Fractal Dimension. These raw measures are intended to be used for post hoc analysis of EEG signals for interpretation by a qualified user. BrainScope TBI also provides clinicians with quantitative measures of cognitive performance in patients 13-85 years of age to aid in the assessment of an individual's level of cognitive function. These measures interact with the CI and can be used stand alone. BrainScope TBI also stores and displays electronic versions of standardized clinical assessment tools that should be used in accordance with the assessment tools' general instructions. These tools do not interact with any other device measures, and are stand alone.
Device Story
Portable, non-invasive, point-of-care device for concussion/mTBI assessment. Inputs: frontal EEG signals, neurocognitive performance tests, clinical symptoms. Processing: multivariate algorithm computes Concussion Index (CI); Structural Injury Classification (SIC) and Brain Function Index (BFI) algorithms analyze EEG for structural injury likelihood and brain function. Output: multi-parameter measures, raw QEEG data (Absolute/Relative Power, Asymmetry, Coherence, Fractal Dimension), and electronic clinical assessment tools. Used by clinicians in clinics/sports settings to aid concussion evaluation and CT scan decision-making. Benefits: provides objective, multi-modal data to support clinical judgment, potentially reducing unnecessary CT scans and aiding return-to-play decisions.

### Device Description:
BrainScope TBI (model: Ahead 500) is a portable, non-invasive, non-radiation emitting, point of care device intended to provide results and measures to support clinical assessments and aid in the diagnosis of concussion / mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The BrainScope TBI includes a new multivariate classification algorithm that analyzes a patient's electroencephalogram (EEG), augmented by neurocognitive performance and selected clinical symptoms to compute a multi-modal index called the Concussion Index (CI). BrainScope TBI provides the healthcare provider with a multi-parameter measure to aid in the evaluation of concussion following a head injury within the past 72 hours (3 days). The BrainScope TBI (Ahead 500) retains all the capabilities of the predicate (BrainScope TBI, model: Ahead 400) including the Structural Injury Classification (SIC) and the Brain Function Index (BFI). It also contains configurable, selectable computerized cognitive performance tests and digitized standard clinical assessment tools intended to provide a multi-modal panel of measures to support the clinical assessment of concussion / mTBI.

### Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device:
BrainScope TBI (model: Ahead 500) has similar technological characteristics as the legally marketed predicate device. BrainScope TBI includes the following modifications when compared to the predicate (BrainScope TBI, model: Ahead 400):
- . The Concussion Index (CI) is derived from a multivariate classification algorithm that analyzes a patient's EEG, augmented by neurocognitive performance and selected clinical symptoms to compute a multi-modal index for patients 13 - 25 years of age, with a GCS of 15. The Cl aids the trained healthcare provider in evaluating a patient for concussion within 3 days of head injury.
The EEG-based Structural Injury Classification (SIC) and Brain Function Index (BFI) algorithms in both devices are limited to the FDA-authorized age range of 18 to 85 years (Adolescent subgroup and Adult age patients).
{10}------------------------------------------------
The minor technological differences between BrainScope TBI (Ahead 500) and the predicate do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, and performance data demonstrates that the BrainScope TBI is as safe and effective as the predicate.
BrainScope TBI (Ahead 500) is substantially equivalent to the predicate BrainScope TBI (Ahead 400).
