In the judgment of the Investigator, any clinically-significant ongoing medical condition that might jeopardize the subject's safety or interfere with the study, including participation in another clinical trial within the previous 30 days using a therapeutic modality which could have potential residual effects that might confound the results of this study
Any technical issue (device related) which in the judgment of the investigator would disrupt adequate data collection or interpretation
