[Click here for complete indications for use.](https://www.brainscope.com/new/alpha-indications-for-use-ifus) ## Who is BrainScope for? BrainScope's technology uses three different algorithms to assess patients for the likelihood of brain bleed and concussion.  ![SIC](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SIC.png?width=150&name=SIC.png) #### Structural Injury Classifier (SIC) The Structural Injury Classifier (SIC) indicates the likelihood of being negative for brain bleed on a CT scan and identifies the need for further evaluation. - Ages 18 – 65 years, GCS 15 - Within 72 hours of injury ![BFI](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BFI.png?width=150&name=BFI.png) #### Brain Fuction Index (BFI) BrainScope’s Brain Function Index (BFI) is expressed as a percentile of a normal population and assess the probability of brain function impairment, such as concussion. - Ages 18 – 65 years, GCS 15 - Within 72 hours of injury ![CI](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CI.png?width=150&name=CI.png) #### Concussion Index (CI) The Concussion Index (CI) aids in identifying the likelihood of concussion.. The CI assessment can aid in clinical decision making at the time of injury - Ages 13-25 years, GCS 15 - Within 72 hours of injury [Click here](https://www.brainscope.com/ifu) for a complete list of indications.   **BrainScope is not intended as a stand-alone diagnostic or to be used as a substitute for a head CT scan. ** ## Head injury triage in three easy steps ![prep photo](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/prep%20photo%20final@2x-1.png?width=250&name=prep%20photo%20final@2x-1.png) **Prep** Prepare the patient's skin and apply the peel and stick electrodes with on-device guidance. ![test final](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/test%20final@2x-1.png?width=250&name=test%20final@2x-1.png) **Test** Run the assessment with a self guided process and receive real-time feedback on brain electrical activity recording. ![result final](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/result%20final@2x-1.png?width=250&name=result%20final@2x-1.png) **Result** Get immediate, objective results on the device and as PDF for upload to EMR.         ![White waveform](https://www.brainscope.com/hs-fs/hubfs/White%20waveform.png?width=50&name=White%20waveform.png)          ### Interested in seeing how BrainScope can fit into your hospital?
