The NeuralBot when used with Lucid M1 System is a medical ultrasound device which assists the user in the setup and acquisition of cerebral blood flow velocity via the patient's temporal windows. It is intended for use as an adjunct to standard clinical practices for measuring and displaying cerebral blood flow velocity and the occurrence of transient emboli within the blood stream. The NeuralBot is intended to be used by healthcare professionals qualified by training in its safe and effective use. The device is not intended to replace other means of evaluating vital patient physiological processes, is not intended to be used in fetal applications, and is not intended to be used inside the sterile field.

The NeuralBot System is a cart mounted. robotic transcranial Doppler (TCD) probe positioning accessory for the previously cleared Lucid M1 System (K160442) which assists the user in the acquisition of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) data via the patient's temporal acoustic windows. The NeuralBot System consists of the following three subsystems mounted on a cart - 1. Accessory Control Unit (ACU) - The main accessory software including the, TCD signal search algorithm, and a. graphical user interface are installed on this subsystem. - 2. Robotic Control Unit (RCU) - Contains the electronics and embedded software that control the robotic actuators of a. the patient headmount unit. - 3. Patient Headmount Unit (PHU) - Comprised of the patient head interface, 2 MHz transducers, and the robotic probe a. positioning mechanism. The NeuralBot System guides the operator in positioning the transducers in the PHU, one on each side of a patient's head, at their temporal regions. The 2 MHz transducers used in the NeuralBot System are the same transducers previously cleared for use with the Lucid M1 System (K160442). The NeuralBot System's probe positioning is accomplished using robotic actuators that adjust the translational and angular position of each transducer independently using TCD signal search algorithms. The accessory is designed to locate TCD signals at depths between 45 and 60 mm allowing the operator to monitor the CBFV of the vessels via the patient's temporal acoustic windows. The NeuralBot System identifies several candidate TCD signals and displays multiple signals from each side of the patient's head. At the end of the search, the NeuralBot System will then retrieve and track the best located signal.

The Lucid M1 System is a medical ultrasound system intended for use as an adjunct to the standard clinical practices for measuring and displaying cerebral blood flow velocity within the major conducting arteries and veins of the head and neck. Additionally, The Lucid M1 System measures the occurrence of transient emboli signals within the blood stream. The device is not intended to replace other means of evaluating vital patient physiological processes, is not intended to be used in fetal applications, and is not intended to be used inside the sterile field.

The Lucid M1 System is an adjunctive, portable, non-invasive, non-ionizing radiation, point-of-care transcranial Doppler (TCD) diagnostic ultrasound system. It is designed to non-invasively measure and display cerebral blood flow velocity over the head and neck with a reusable, non-sterile 2-MHz hand-held probe. It can also be used bilaterally to monitor the blood flow velocity of the vessels insonated via the temporal window of the head with a headset with two reusable, non-sterile 2-MHz monitoring transducers. The system can also provide an emboli count for emboli detection.
