NEW YORK, April 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brain Scientific Inc. (OTC:BRSF) (“Brain Scientific” or “Company”), a medical device and technology company offering products and solutions related to the brain including neurology, AI and machine learning, today announced the launch of their online store to sell FDA-cleared NeuroCap and NeuroEEG™.
Unlike traditional reusable EEG electrodes, which are prone to spreading bacteria, NeuroCap is a disposable headset that is used once and thrown away to minimize cross-contamination.
Traditional reusable EEG electrodes have demonstrated in studies that they are one of the leading source of hospital-acquired infection (HAI), an infection acquired in the hospital and caused by germs such as bacteria, fungi or viruses entering the body.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has estimated that 1 in 31 (3%) hospital patients acquires an infection while being treated in a medical facility. A 2015 survey found that there were an estimated 687,000 HAIs in the US and that about 72,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during their hospitalizations.
During administration, traditional EEG procedure involve a scrub of the skin, which can expose EEG electrodes to blood and other disease-carrying bodily fluids. Without proper sterilization or high-level disinfection, reusable electrodes may harbor hazardous bacteria, blood, and microscopic epithelial cells.
“With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, we have seen the importance of delivering sanitized healthcare products to not only the clinical setting, but also the general outpatient environment,” stated Irina Nazarova, Marketing Director of Brain Scientific. “We launched our online store to meet the high demand for sterile hospital equipment and make our sterilized FDA-cleared EEG products accessible to practitioners. We remain committed to liberating neurology patients while minimizing the risk of infection.”
NeuroCap is a disposable EEG headset with 22 electrodes and 19 active EEG channels. Its one-use life span minimizes cross-contamination and optimizes sanitary practice. The diagnostic tool is compatible with 3rd party amplifiers, it can be administered by clinical staff of any level, and it can be used in healthcare facilities or outpatient settings.
NeuroCap is currently being manufactured and can be shipped to medical centers across the United States or acquired on our online store at: www.brainscientific.myshopify.com
