Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Active Comparator Intracranial Hemorrhage  The SENSE device transmits a low power tailored electro-magnetic (EM) pulse in the radio-frequency range across the patients brain and detects changes in the signal that may indicate intracranial hemorrhage. The device consists of three parts: 1. A molded plastic headpiece containing the antenna array 2. An intermediate control unit that contains: a. The driving electronics for the array of antennae 3. A processing control unit that contains: a. A spectrum analyzer b. The operating software that controls the device function and data acquisition, processing and archiving. c. The user interface for inputting patient information and displaying the output of the data  
Comparator Agent  Active Comparator Traumatic Brain Injury  The SENSE device transmits a low power tailored electro-magnetic (EM) pulse in the radio-frequency range across the patients brain and detects changes in the signal that may indicate intracranial hemorrhage. The device consists of three parts: 1. A molded plastic headpiece containing the antenna array 2. An intermediate control unit that contains: a. The driving electronics for the array of antennae 3. A processing control unit that contains: a. A spectrum analyzer b. The operating software that controls the device function and data acquisition, processing and archiving. c. The user interface for inputting patient information and displaying the output of the data  
Intervention  SENSE Device  The SENSE Device is indicated for the monitoring of intracranial hemorrhage by detecting a suspected increase in blood volume within the cranial vault. It is an adjunctive device to the clinical evaluation in the acute hospital setting of patients 22 years of age or older with suspected or known intracranial hemorrhage. The device is indicated for use to monitor patients for intracranial hemorrhage expansion between CT scans but should not serve as a substitute for these scans. 
 
Inclusion Criteria
Modification(s)  
Age From  22.00 Year(s)
Age To  99.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  Subjects who meet all of the following inclusion criteria will be considered candidates for study enrollment:1. Male or female patients age 22 years and older 2. CT obtained in the mobile stroke unit, emergency department (ED) or hospital
Informed consent provided by study subject or, if subject is unable, by subject’s next of kin or legal guardian. 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  All subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from this study:
1. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating
2. SENSE device cannot be applied within 6 hours of a standard of care CT,
3. Metallic intracranial clip, coil, device (such as ICP monitor),or penetrating metallic shrapnel,
4. Metallic EEG leads in place at the time of planned enrollment,
5. Open skull fracture (closed skull fracture is not an exclusion),
6. Placement of an intraventricular catheter prior to enrollment,
7. Hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke,) as etiology of ICH,
8. Treatment with intravenous thrombolysis or
embolectomy prior to enrollment,
9. Clinical uncertainty about whether intracranial
hemorrhage is present on the pre-enrollment head
CT, and
10. Presence or history of any other condition or finding that, in the investigator’s opinion, makes the patient unsuitable as a candidate for SENSE device monitoring or study participation or may confound the outcome of the study.

Primary Outcome
Modification(s)  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Detection of ICH is the primary endpoint for this study. To establish the sensitivity (primary) and specificity (key
secondary) for ICH detection. The results from the CT (ICH
versus no ICH) scan will serve as the gold standard 
Time Frame: 48 hours 
 
Secondary Outcome
Modification(s)  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To estimate the specificity of the SENSE device for classifying patients undergoing head CT as non-ICH versus ICH.   The study duration is a total of up to 24 hours which includes at least 5 minutes of
SENSE device monitoring, & a follow-up at 24 hours ± 12 hours. 
To estimate the positive predictive value (PPV) of the SENSE device for classifying
patients undergoing head CT as ICH versus non-ICH.  
The study duration is a total of up to 24 hours which includes at least 5 minutes of
SENSE device monitoring, & a follow-up at 24 hours ± 12 hours. 
To estimate the negative predictive value (NPV) of the SENSE device for classifying
patients undergoing head CT as ICH versus non-ICH.
 
The study duration is a total of up to 24 hours which includes at least 5 minutes of
SENSE device monitoring, & a follow-up at 24 hours ± 12 hours. 
To estimate the PPV, NPV, specificity & sensitivity of the SENSE device for correctly
classifying patients with intracranial hemorrhage after excluding patients whose total
intracranial hemorrhage volume is less than 1 mL.  
The study duration is a total of up to 24 hours which includes at least 5 minutes of
SENSE device monitoring, & a follow-up at 24 hours ± 12 hours.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is a pivotal, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, comparison of the SENSE device and CT scans. All subjects who meet eligibility criteria should be enrolled. The algorithm for ICH detection described above will be tested in an independent cohort of ~120 subjects each with and without ICH have been enrolled. The gold standard will be based on the CT results. CT scans will be grouped into: 1) ICH or, 2) non-ICH.
ICH is defined as a diagnosis of primary spontaneous ICH (parenchymal intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, spontaneous subdural hematoma) or traumatic intracranial bleeding (defined as subarachnoid hemorrhage, epidural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage and/or traumatic contusions/intraparenchymal hemorrhage).
All images will be reviewed by an independent neuroradiology core lab for classification as ICH or non-ICH, and for ICH volume estimation. The treating clinicians and independent neuroradiology core lab will be blinded to the SENSE device findings. For subjects who have multiple CT scans, the CT scan closest in time (while still preceding) SENSE device placement will be used for adjudication.
