About the BAR Monitor
The BAR monitoring system measures a patient’s brain electrical activity, the electroencephalogram (EEG), in order to indicate how deeply anaesthetised a patient is during an operation via an adhesive sensor applied to the forehead. The BAR monitor is designed to assist anaesthetists and intensive care staff in ensuring patients do not wake up un-expectedly, as well as reducing the incidence of side effects associated with the anaesthetic.
The BAR monitor improves on currently used EEG monitors by utilising advances in understanding of how the brain’s electrical activity is produced, and how it is affected by anaesthetic and sedative drugs. The BAR’s unique physiological approach is aimed at independently monitoring the hypnotic and analgesic states associated with anaesthesia, a feature no known existing EEG based depth-of-anaesthesia monitor is able to achieve. Objectively monitoring of hypnotic and analgesic state will lead to improved anaesthetic and surgical outcomes, by reducing recovery times and minimising drug costs.

“I felt my chest being cut open … and felt the saw cutting through my chest bone”
In 2004 Norma Dalton told the UK’s The Independent of her harrowing account of being awake while undergoing surgery. “I was trying to scream out for them to stop, that I was awake.. I heard the conversations and then I felt the incision” Judy Vernon told The Australian of her recollections of surgery.

Overview
-
Cortical Dynamics Ltd is a publicly unlisted medical device company focused on developing the next generation brain function monitors by employing the latest advances in our understanding of the significance and origin of brain waves.
-
Developed in 2004 to commercialise the intellectual property related to brain function monitoring.
-
C or ti ca l’ s B ra n i A naes th es a i R esponse (BAR) mon it or measures b ra n e ec i l t r ca i l activity. The electrical activity recorded from the scalp, the electroencephalogram (EEG), is one of the most important quantifiable measures of brain function.
-
� To date in excess of $1 million has been spent on the development of the technology.
-
Believed to be the only EEG based Depth of Anaesthesia monitor to measure both hypnotic* and analgesic[#] state.
*Hypnotic – level of unconsciousness #Analgesic – pain relief
Problem
-
Anaesthesia awareness or “intra-operative awareness" occurs during general anaesthesia when a patient is not sufficiently anaesthetised to prevent consciousness.
-
Incidence rate is approximately 1 to 2 patients per 1000 receiving general anaesthesia.
-
Usually a combination of hypnotic* and analgesic[#] drugs are used to achieve a state of “balanced” general anaesthesia in the surgical patient.
-
Current EEG based monitors operate in the context of a number well documented limitations:
-
Incapable of monitoring the analgesic effects.
-
Not all hypnotic agents are reliably measured.
*Hypnotic – level of unconsciousness
Analgesic – pain relief

Cortical’s Monitor
The BAR monitor is derived from a theoretical understanding of physiological factors that are responsible for the generation of the EEG activity and how the EEG is disrupted by the anaesthetic and sedative agents.
- “Scientists must continue to investigate new approaches to intraoperative brain monitoring, founded on firm neurobiologic principles.”
(Avidan, Jacobsohn & Mashour, NEJM, 2011)
- “A clear scientific understanding of the causal mechanistic and neurobiologic functions must be superior to the existing heuristically derived black box electroencephalographic monitors”
(Sleigh, ANESTHESIOLOGY, 2010)

Philosophy
Cortical’s philosophy is that a better understanding of the mechanisms that induce unconsciousness will ultimately lead to a better anaesthesia monitor. Cortical’s BAR monitor is the product of this revolutionary philosophy.
The Human Cerebral Cortex
Two Unique Indices
Distinctively, the BAR monitoring system produces two meaningful measures of anaesthetic action:
Cortical State (CS) –characterises hypnosis.
Cortical Input (CI) –characterises analgesia.
Clinical trials, have revealed that a number of widely used anaesthetic and analgesic agents, not detectable electroencephalographically using existing monitoring approaches, are well documented using the CS and CI indices.
EEG depends on CI and CS
Applications of the BAR monitor
Based on the current EEG applications to date three main applications for the BAR monitoring system have been identified:
-
(a) Patient monitoring by trained staff in hospital wards, operating theatres or research laboratories (described above);
-
(b) Neuro diagnostics of changes in the brain and memory functions to provide early warning of degenerative diseases for hospitals and research trials or studies; and
-
(c) Pain response and tranquiliser monitoring for hospitals and especially trauma patients in Intensive Care units.
Other applications may include drug discovery, drug evaluation and the emerging Brain Computer Interface (BCI) market, as seen in video.
Anticipated Benefits
-
For the Patient
-
reduced risk of waking up or having recollections of surgical procedure or dreams during the surgical procedure.
-
reduced risk of receiving too high a dose of anaesthetic agent which can lead to post-operative nausea and discomfort or even permanent injury or death in the most severe cases.
-
significantly improved outcomes particularly for patients at high risk of awareness.
-
For the Anaesthetist
-
facilitate the use of the optimal dose of anaesthetic agent .
-
facilitate the delivery of a more reliable and better quality service to its customers (hospitals and patients).
-
reduce the risk of litigation due to patient experiencing awareness during surgery, being disabled or dying after the surgical procedure.
� For the Hospital / Day Clinic
-
Improved likelihood of delivering a better service to its customers (patients).
-
optimising the dose of anaesthetic agent used can improve efficiencies by reducing the amounts of anaesthetic agents, and improving patient turn-around times, and can lead to cost savings.
-
reduced risk of litigation.

Patent Position
-
Cortical Dynamics’ competitive advantage is underpinned by a strong patent position.
-
5 patent families
-
4 of the 5 patent families have matured into national phase.
Australia, Euro p e, New Zealand, United States and variousl y in China and Japan.
- 21 patent applications, thus far.
. A full Patent Attorney’s report is included in the Prospectus
Key Highlights
- The BAR objective is to reduce the risk of post-operative medical conditions and care demands.
� The approach used is fundamentally different from all other devices currently available in that its underlying algorithm produces EEG indexes which are directly related to the physiological state of the patient.
- The BAR monitoring approach has the ability to detect the effects of remifentinal. At present there is no known EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitoring approach that is able to achieve this.
