Ceribell Clarity helps a bedside team begin seizure monitoring when conventional EEG is not immediately available. A trained provider applies the point-of-care EEG headband and recorder. Clarity then analyzes the recording for seizure activity.
What The Clarity Output Means
Clarity generates a rolling seizure-burden measurement from the Ceribell recording. Ceribell describes the burden as the percentage of time a patient is in seizure during a rolling five-minute window.
When the system detects sustained seizure activity, it can generate visual and audible alerts. The alert tells the clinical team to review the EEG and decide what action is appropriate. Ceribell is a diagnostic and monitoring system, not a treatment device.
How It Differs From Persyst
Ceribell combines point-of-care EEG hardware with analysis intended for rapid bedside access. Persyst 15 adds detection, trends, and review tools to compatible full clinical EEG systems. The choice starts with whether the immediate need is rapid acquisition or deeper review of a conventional recording.
Current Product Sources
Read Ceribell's current point-of-care EEG and Clarity description. The FDA lists the Ceribell Status Epilepticus Monitor under 510(k) K223504 with a May 2023 decision.
Where It Is Used
- Non-convulsive status epilepticus assessment in emergency settings
- Rapid EEG where no technologist is available
- Community hospital neurological emergencies
Limitations Worth Knowing
Point-of-care EEG and full clinical EEG are not the same examination. Electrode coverage, recording quality, patient context, and the clinical question affect what the team can conclude.
Clarity supports recognition and monitoring. A qualified clinician still reviews the information and makes treatment decisions. Formal EEG may still be needed when the point-of-care result does not answer the clinical question.
Confirm the current patient population, hardware, indication, warnings, and instructions for use before clinical or purchasing decisions.
