The eVox System is a medical device intended to acquire, display, and store electrical activity of a patient’s brain including electroencephalography (EEG) and Event-related Potentials (ERP) to aid in diagnosis. The eVox system is a Class II medical device that has received Section 510(K) clearance from the FDA.
The eVox system is a Class II medical device that has received Section 510(K) clearance from the FDA. It is intended for the acquisition, display, and storage, of electrical activity of a patient’s brain including electroencephalograph (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head to aid in diagnosis. The eVox System has the added capability to be used as a biofeedback device, where such an intervention is indicated.
