510(k) Clearance for the eVox System, a non-invasive device that aids diagnosis of cognitive diseases

NEW YORK, NY, USA, January 2, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Evoke Neuroscience, Inc. announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the eVox® System – expanding the Indications for Use to include electroencephalography (EEG) and Event-related Potentials (ERP) that aid physicians in diagnosis.

The eVox® System is a medical device that gives primary and specialty care physicians the ability to assess brain function in-house via a non-invasive procedure and use results to aid in making a clinical diagnosis.


Assessing Memory Loss with EEG and ERP:

eVox acquires biomarkers based on EEG and ERP that aid doctors in:
• identifying the root cause of memory loss
• identifying MCI and memory loss sooner
• performing a differential diagnosis of depression vs. dementia


eVox Aids Physicians in Diagnosis:

Historically, most providers have relied on self-report questionnaires and effort-based computerized testing for determining a diagnosis. “There is a clear need for objective memory-related biomarkers that aid in diagnosis – and to access these biomarkers early in the course of a potential disease.” said David Hagedorn, Ph.D., CEO of Evoke Neuroscience, Inc. Many causes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can be readily treated if caught early (Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, 2016). The eVox System was developed to aid physicians in the early diagnosis of cognitive diseases such as dementia. “To understand cognitive health, and more specifically memory, it is important to isolate key biomarkers of the brain itself.”

Obtaining these biomarkers with the eVox System occurs within any office setting and with minimal staff training and time. eVox is an accessible tool that helps doctors assess brain health and identify root causes of cognitive decline symptoms, many of which are treatable. Doctors should use their professional judgment in determining when the eVox System is appropriate to aid in diagnosis.
