In the researchers' words

This study is a multi-center, prospective, single-arm, non-significant risk (NSR) device study in which up to 150 evaluable subjects with suspicion of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) will be evaluated with NB-IS TCD and standard of care TTE to screen for right to left shunt (RLS) or patent foramen ovale (PFO). Additionally, up to 150 evaluable subjects will be evaluated with NB-IS TCD and standard of care TEE.
