3. EEG/PSG MEASUREMENT3.4 Operator's Manual WEE-1000Polysomnography is an examination to measure the electrical signals in the bodyduring sleep. Many different activities are measured during a sleep study. Thebasic measurement parameters are electroencephalogram (EEG), eye movement(EOG), muscle activity (EMG), heartbeat (ECG), oxygen saturation (SpO2) andrespiration. These measurement parameters can help determine what is going onduring sleep. In addition to the basic measurement parameters, we can find thecause of a sleep disorder by measuring the activity which is suspected to becausing the sleep disorderParameter Electrode/SensorEEG Disk electrodeEOG Disk electrodeECG Disk electrodeEMG Chin Disk electrodeRespirationAir flow TR-101A /TR-102A Respiration pickupor Airflow sensor*Chest/ Abdomen TR-111A/TR-112A Respiration pickupor Effort sensor*Periodic limb movements PLM sensor*Snore Dynamic snoring microphone*SpO2SpO2 probe**Sleep position Sleep position indicator*Basic Measurement Parameters* Pro-Tech Service Inc.** Nonin Medical Inc., JL-101A SpO2 sensor adapter is required.The Acquisition program acquires the EEG/PSG waveforms and can display up to64 channels of EEG/PSG waveforms.

This input jack is used to eliminateAC interference.The input jack Z is also used for checking electrode impedance.Input Jacks C3 and C4The C3 and C4 electrodes are the system reference electrodes for EEGmeasurement. Input jacks C3 and C4 must be used for EEG measurement even ifC3 and C4 are not programmed in any montage.Connect the leads from the electrodes on positions C3 and C4 to input jacks C3 andC4, respectively.Input Jacks A1 and A2The A1 and A2 electrodes are the reference electrodes for skin-electrode impedancecheck. Input jacks A1 and A2 in addition to Z, C3 and C4 must be used for theelectrode impedance check.When checking electrode impedance, connect the leads from the electrodes onpositions A1 and A2 to input jacks A1 and A2, respectively.Checking Original Electrode Potentials for All Active ElectrodesCheck the original electrode potential for all active electrodes by programming amontage with the system reference (Use the pattern VA (factory default setting) orselect the 0 V button for reference electrode on the Montage dialog box). Refer to“Programming Patterns” in Section 4 of the electroencephalograph operator’smanual.The digital EEG displays the EEG waveform in each channel by subtracting twoelectrode potentials selected to a montage. The subtracted result will be incorrect, ifthe electrode attachment is not correct, the original electrode potential is flat, orunstable or artifact is superimposed on the original electrode potential. Omit themeasurement result if the displayed EEG waveform is incorrect.

Each system has a different number of electrodes and differentelectrode locations. To compensate for different sized heads, the distances betweenelectrodes are given as ratios.After determining the electrode position system, measure the head of the patientand calculate the electrode positions according to the distance ratio between eachelectrode position. The number of electrodes should be reduced for EEG recordingon infants and little children.DerivationDerivation is the electrode combination for one channel. All derivations have twoelectrodes: reference and active. In monopolar derivation, one “electrode” can beseveral physical electrodes connected together. There are 3 kinds of derivations.Monopolar Derivations (Referential Derivation)In the monopolar derivation, one electrode is common to all channels and regardedas electrically inactive (“reference electrode”). Each amplifier has two inputs (G1and G2). The reference electrode is connected to the G2 (+) input of the amplifierand the active electrode is connected to the G1 (−) input.Monopolar Derivations Using Ear Reference Electrodes:•Normal Monopolar DerivationLeft ear for left hemispheric derivation and the right ear for right hemisphericderivation.•A1 + A2Shorting both ears (in the electrode junction box).•A1 → A2 or A1 ← A2Only one ear.•A1 ↔ A2Left ear for right hemispheric and right ear for left hemispheric derivation.

Check the blood circulation conditionby observing the skin color and congestion at the skin peripheral tothe probe attachment site. Even for short-term monitoring, theremay be burn or pressure necrosis from poor blood circulation.• When using the probe on the following patients, take extreme careand change the measurement site more frequently according tosymptoms and degree.- A patient with a fever- A patient with a peripheral circulation insufficiency- Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skinFor a patient with a peripheral circulation insufficiency, themeasurement result may be incorrect.• When the SpO2 probe is used on a neonate, low birth weight infant orpatient with a fever or peripheral circulation insufficiency, a slightburn may result from the probe increasing the skin temperature atthe attached site by 2 or 3°C (4 or 5°F). Periodically check theattached state of the probe and change the attachment site.• When not measuring SpO2, disconnect the SpO2 adapter cable fromthe telemetry unit. Otherwise, noise from the SpO2 probe mayinterfere and incorrect data is displayed on the screen.CAUTION• Only use the specified probes and JL-101A SpO2 Adapter. OtherwiseSpO2 cannot be monitored properly and instrument performance maybe degraded.• Do not use a probe which is past the expiration date on the package.• Do not use a damaged or disassembled probe.• Disposable probes are not sterilized.
3. EEG/PSG MEASUREMENT3.18 Operator's Manual WEE-1000• Use the disposable probe only once and for one patient only. Do notreuse the disposable probe for another patient. It will cause crossinfection.• When the attachment site is wet with blood or when the patient hasnail polish on, remove the dirt and nail polish before attaching theprobe. The transmitted light may decrease due to the blood or nailpolish and the measurement data may be incorrect.• Turn off the power of cellular telephones, small wireless devices andother devices which produce strong electromagnetic interference.Otherwise, the waveforms and measurements are affected byinterference and the displayed data may be incorrect.• Under normal conditions, normal light has negligible effect on thisprobe. However, when measuring under strong light (surgical light,bilirubin light, sunlight, etc.), cover the probe with a blanket or cloth.Otherwise, the measurement result may be incorrect.• If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin by the probe,change the attachment site or stop using the probe.• For long term monitoring, check the circulation condition byobserving the skin color of the measuring site. To avoid circulationinsufficiency and skin burn, change the measurement site everyspecified number of hours. Refer to the operator’s manual of theprobe.• Do not pull or bend the probe cable, and do not let caster feet runover the probe cable. Do not immerse the probe cable in chemicalsolutions or water. Failure to follow these cautions may cause cablediscontinuity, short circuit, skin burn on the patient and incorrectmeasurement data. Replace any broken probe with a new one.• When removing a probe that is taped to the skin, do not pull thecable part of the probe because this can damage the probe’s cableconnection.• While a patient is on medication which causes vasodilation, the pulsewaveform may change and in rare case SpO2 value may not bedisplayed.Attaching the ProbeFor the attaching procedure, refer to the operator’s manual of the probe.Caution - continued

The Acquisitionprogram and the Review program use these settings.• Electrode junction box setting (Select the JE-011A or JE-012A)• Pattern settings• AC line frequency setting• Contents of the table list of the Patient Information• Contents of the Annotation dialog box when annotating waveforms or addingannotations.• The electrodes that are used for waveform acquisition and saved in a file with theEEG waveformsYou can save the changed system settings in a file. Each electrode junction box hasits own system settings for the above settings other than the AC line frequency. Forexample, when the system settings which use the JE-011A electrode junction boxare saved in a file, next time you can select the JE-011A electrode junction box bycalling up a system settings file which uses the JE-011A electrode junction box.Refer to “Changing the System Settings” in Section 2. For detailed informationabout the system settings, refer to the operator’s manual of eachelectroencephalograph.NOTE• It is not possible to change System Program settings while theAcquisition, Review or any other EEG application program is open.• Before selecting another electrode junction box in the ElectrodeJunction Box menu, save the current system settings in a file.Otherwise, the current system settings listed above are lost.
3. EEG/PSG MEASUREMENTOperator's Manual WEE-1000 3.23Measuring WaveformsExample: EEG-1100This section explains the general procedure how to measure the waveforms.1. Start the communication between the telemetry unit and access point.Wireless communication:1) Turn on the access point2) Press the START/OK key on the telemetry unit. Blinking “O” is displayedon the LCD display.Wired communication:1) Turn on the access point2) Connect the telemetry unit and access point with the isolator. The channel“CL” is displayed on the LCD display.2. Open the Acquisition program.NOTETurn off any screen saver and close all application programs beforeopening the Acquisition program. Otherwise, the Acquisitionprogram may not function properly.Double-click the acquisition program shortcut icons on an EEG window. Anew EEG file automatically opens with the Room Selection dialog box.3. Select the access point and telemetry unit.1) On the Room Selection dialog box, select the access point by selecting theroom.2) On the Telemetry Unit Selection dialog box, select the telemetry unit.3) Start communication.When communication between the telemetry unit and access point isestablished, the Patient Information dialog box opens.4. Enter the patient information. The patient ID and name must be entered.
3. EEG/PSG MEASUREMENT3.24 Operator's Manual WEE-10005. Select the pattern. You can select the pattern (montage and amplifier settingsincluding sensitivity, high-cut filter, time constant, etc.) for the measurementwith the Pattern dialog box. You can program the pattern for the measurementin the System Program. For the detailed pattern settings, refer to"Programming Pattern” in Section 4 of the operator’s manual of theelectroencephalograph.6. Check the skin-electrode contact impedance for disk electrodes.When using the EEG disk electrodes, clean the measurement sites with a cottonswab moistened with alcohol or SkinPure (skin preparation gel) to reduce theskin-electrode contact impedance to less than 5 kΩ.WARNINGDo not check the skin-electrode contact impedance when using aneedle electrode or intracranial electrode. Failure to follow thiswarning injures the patient because these electrodes will bedamaged by electrolyzation inside the body.NOTE• The Z, C3 and C4, A1 and A2 electrodes must be attached to thepatient. Otherwise, the impedance check result may be incorrect.The instrument checks the skin-electrode impedance for the followingelectrodes.• When calibration waveforms are displayed, the electrodes that are includedin all patterns are checked.• When the EEG waveforms are displayed, the electrodes that are included inthe currently selected pattern are checked.On the telemetry unit:1) Select “IP” by pressing the FUNCTION key.2) Press the START/OK key The impedance check result is displayed onLCD display. The electrode number that exceeds the threshold level andits impedance are displayed. You can display the next electrode impedancecheck result by pressing the FUNCTION key.To change the impedance threshold, press the MARK/kΩ key. Every timethe MARK/kΩ key is pressed the threshold changes as follows:50 → 20 → 10 → 5 → 2 kΩ3) Press the START/OK key to end the impedance checkPattern dialog box
