This clinical investigation is a pilot, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to demonstrate proof of concept, safety, and functional performance of the MINDZ subdural electrode grid when used in relevant neurosurgical settings. The study will provide initial clinical evidence to support future conformity assessment and CE marking under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR).
The investigational device, MINDZ, developed by Neurosoft Bioelectronics, is a novel, soft and highly conformable subdural electrode grid designed for minimally invasive implantation through a burr hole. Its flexible structure is intended to improve conformity to the cortical surface, reduce dead space between the electrode and brain tissue, and potentially lower the risk of complications associated with craniotomy, while maintaining adequate cortical coverage for effective monitoring and mapping.
