The Brain Sentinel® Seizure Detection and Warning System is an ambulatory systemdesigned to monitor and analyze electromyography (EMG) data to detect the onsetof a generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizure whether primary or focal onset withsecondary generalization and to provide a warning signal to alert caregivers that aseizure is occurring. The system records EMG data (24/7) and is available for analysisof other motor events.The Brain Sentinel Seizure Detection and Warning System is intended for monitoringadults with a history or significant risk of generalized tonic-clonic seizures in thehome or healthcare facilities, during the titration or withdrawal of anti-epileptic drugs,and for continuous monitoring, night time or any other time of day, of individuals dueto their history or risk of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and will withstand activitiesof daily living including showers and sleep. The Brain Sentinel Seizure Detection andWarning System is available by prescription only.
An assembly of devices intended to detect and record a seizure by continuous measurement of one or more physical/physiological parameters (e.g., body motion, electrical activity of the heart or skeletal muscles) in a patient with epilepsy during daily activities and/or sleep in the home; some types may also be used in clinical settings. It typically consists of a mains electricity (AC-powered) central monitor that wirelessly receives, records, and displays the data, and one or more battery-powered body-worn sensor(s); it may have alarms and data may be transmitted to a cloud-based storage, server or mobile device.
