EEG Monitoring Setup

1Plug the trunk cable into the EEG module in the Flexible Module Server.

2Prepare the patient’s skin prior to placing the electrodes. Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good EEG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity.

–Shave hair from sites, if necessary.

–Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.

–Use a skin preparation paste to remove skin cells and oil before placing the electrodes.

3Select the desired electrode montage in the Setup EEG menu or in the EEG Impedance/ Montage window.

4Attach the reference electrode first.

5Place the electrodes on the patient’s head according to the selected montage. Use electrode gel if you are not using pre-gelled electrodes. Remember to select a site where the signal will not be interfered with by muscle artifacts.

6Connect the electrode connector end to the trunk cable.

7Check the electrode-to-skin impedance in the EEG Impedance/Montage window.

8For good signal quality, keep all lead wires together and away from other electric devices and metallic bodies.

Using the EEG Impedance/Montage Window
