Description

Summary

The 24/7 EEG™ SubQ system will be compared to simultaneously recorded video-EEG in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (gold standard) and to self-reported seizure log books throughout 12 weeks of outpatient EEG recording.

The present study is a 12-week open-label, prospective study with a paired, comparative design for pivotal evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the 24/7 EEGTM SubQ system in subjects with temporal lobe epilepsy.

2-5 sites in Europe Up to 5 sites in US, or up to 10 sites if approval granted.

Official Title

Evaluation of the 24/7 EEG SubQ System for Ultra Long-Term Recording of Patients With Epilepsy Involving the Temporal Lobe Region. An Open-label, Prospective, Paired, Comparative Study.

  • Subject receives frequent (more than 2 days per week) treatment with drugs of the following types:
    1. antiplatelets
    2. anticoagulants
    3. chemotherapeutics
    4. non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)
  • Subject has skeletal deformities or damage at the proposed implantation site to an extent that impedes correct electrode placement.
