REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications provides near real-time detection of potential electrographic seizures

SALT LAKE CITY: #epilepsy--Epitel, a leader in AI for patient-focused brain health technologies, announced today it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for REMI Vigilenz™ AI For Bedside Notifications. REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications conducts an automated analysis of EEG data collected by the REMI™ wireless wearable EEG System in near real-time. Notifications occur when the algorithm recognizes seizure characteristics within a section of EEG. These notifications provide information about the potential electrographic seizure, including seizure burden and corresponding confidence level.

Neurologists trained in reading EEGs are highly specialized and often only available in the largest medical facilities. This can leave patients vulnerable to delays in the proper identification of seizures, which may impact patient outcomes. The REMI platform enables more patients to be monitored for days at a time across healthcare facilities that may not have traditional EEG equipment and specialized EEG technicians, increasing the likelihood of detecting a seizure. With REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications, there is now the potential for bedside clinicians to rapidly identify seizures in the hospital by pinpointing regions of potentially abnormal EEG.

“Identifying seizures at the point-of-care is still a major challenge for hospitals of all sizes. This is especially critical for hospitals without 24/7 EEG coverage and for those that lack the resources for after-hours, weekend, and holiday coverage,” said Mark Lehmkuhle, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Epitel. “With REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications, clinicians will be notified of the occurrence of potential seizures, which can reduce time to treatment and improve outcomes for patients in the smallest of clinics to the largest of hospitals.”

The FDA cleared REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications with an authorized Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP), a new program permitting Epitel to implement predetermined performance-enhancing updates to the device without further FDA review. This is Epitel's second AI/ML medical device cleared by the FDA and is also Epitel's second device with an authorized PCCP, demonstrating Epitel's position at the forefront of brain health technology.

In May 2024, REMI Vigilenz™ AI For Event Detection received regulatory clearance and authorized PCCP status. REMI Vigilenz AI For Event Detection is currently being commercialized alongside REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System for Ambulatory (at-home) Use.

Epitel is attending HLTH 2024 this week in Las Vegas and is a finalist for The Digital Health Hub Foundation Digital Health Awards 2024 in the Home Health Diagnostics “Rising Star” category. Epitel will demonstrate the power of the REMI System at its kiosk in the Awards Pavilion #3254-14. For more information on REMI and Epitel, please visit www.epitel.com

REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications Indications for Use

REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications is a seizure detection module which is integrated into the REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System and is only indicated for use within non-ICU (Intensive Care Unit) healthcare settings. REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications has not been validated for and is not indicated for the detection of electrographic status epilepticus.

REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications conducts automated analysis of REMI EEG data in near real-time and provides notifications of potential electrographic seizures (events) through the REMI System when seizure prevalence of 10% or greater (indicating seizure activity of at least 30 seconds within a 5-minute rolling window) is detected. When seizure prevalence is displayed, the notification also displays the corresponding event detection confidence. Notifications are intended to be used by qualified clinicians who will exercise professional judgment in their application. Detected events are also annotated in the associated REMI EEG record as an aide to the qualified physician's REMI EEG review.

Delays of up to several minutes may occur between the detection of an event and the generation of an event notification and are thus not a substitute for real-time monitoring. REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications does not make any diagnostic conclusion about the subject's condition and is intended as a physiological signal monitor. REMI Vigilenz AI For Bedside Notifications is indicated for use with adult and pediatric patients (6+ years).

REMI Remote EEG Monitoring Indications For Use

The REMI Remote EEG Monitoring System is indicated for use in healthcare settings where near real-time and/or remote EEG is warranted and in ambulatory settings where remote EEG is warranted. REMI uses single use, single patient, disposable, wearable sensors intended to amplify, capture, and wirelessly transmit a single channel of electrical activity of the brain for a duration up to 30 days.

The REMI System uses the REMI Mobile software application that runs on qualified commercial off-the-shelf mobile computing platforms. REMI Mobile displays user setup information to trained medical professionals and provides notifications to medical professionals and ambulatory users. REMI Mobile receives and transmits data from connected REMI Sensors to the secure REMI Cloud where it is stored and prepared for review on qualified EEG viewing software.

REMI does not make any diagnostic conclusion about the subject's condition and is intended as a physiological signal monitor. The REMI System is indicated for use with adult and pediatric patients (6+ years).
