The Atlas Stim Headbox by Neuralynx, Inc. is a medical device intended for cortical or intracranial stimulation during EEG examinations, such as stereo EEG (SEEG). It works as an accessory to the ATLAS Neurophysiology System, enabling controlled electrical stimulation of the brain using third-party electrodes and recording the brain's electrical responses. This device assists neurosurgeons and neurologists in mapping brain function, especially in complex cases requiring precise neural stimulation.
The ATLAS Stim Headbox is a low power, constant current or voltage mode, bi-phasic stimulator intended for cortical or intracranial stimulation during electroencephalography examinations (i.e. stereoEEG).
The device consists of an encased amplifier and embedded firmware that delivers electrical stimulation energy under the control of associated ATLAS Stim Headbox Software, connected via fiber optic ethernet interface. It allows multi-channel stimulation with enforced safety rules limiting total current and charge per pulse.
Performance testing included electrical safety, mechanical integrity, evoked response testing, electroencephalograph functionality tests, and software regression testing according to IEC standards. Tests demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices in safety and effectiveness.
