8 Operating instructions ABRIS
8.1 Using the ABRIS module
1. All contact between the conductive parts of electrodes or their connectors, including the neutral
electrode and other conductive parts including the earth must be avoided.
2. Please check the setup before recording and verify that the correct stimulus level and transducer will
be used as another operator/person may have changed/deleted the protocol setting. During
recording the stimulus level and transducer can be seen on the user interface.
3. If the system has not been used for a while, the operator should inspect the transducers (e.g., check
the insert phone silicone tubing for cracks) and electrodes (e.g., check the expiry date of disposable
electrodes, check cables for damage) to verify that the system is ready to start testing and provide
accurate results
4. Only electrode gel intended for electroencephalography must be used. Please follow the
manufactu
rer’s instructions regarding the use of the gel.
NOTICE
1. The Eclipse system consists of a 2 channel input board which allows the user to create
measurements for both ears without switching the electrodes.
2. In the case of tense patient muscles, particularly in the region of the neck, nape and shoulders, the
quality of the recordings may be poor or completely rejected. It may be necessary to wait until the
patient is relaxed and then resume testing.
8.2 Mounting electrodes
All sockets on the cable collector that is connected to the preamplifier must have an electrode cable plugged
in and be connected to the patient via electrodes.
If a socket is left open or a cable not connected to the patient via an electrode, rejection will occur and
testing will not be possible. Both the ipsilateral and contralateral EEG is evaluated to determine rejection.
