TURN OFF PRINTING IN A CHANNEL
To turn off printing in a given channel, set the gain for that channel to “OFF”. If a given channel has been turned
off, the other channels should be set to the “AUTO” position in order to evenly space the remaining tracings on
the paper.
CHANGING EEG GAIN RAPIDLY
TIP: To rapidly change the gain in all EEG channels, while the printer is running, press, hold in and then rotate
the FlexDial™ to print successive new gain values on the paper chart; release the FlexDial™ to lock in the
desired value when it appears.
SEIZURE QUALITY MEASURES
The Thymatron® System IV provides 7 Seizure Quality Measures under the “INDEXES” function level that can
be individually enabled/disabled. EEG monitoring must be enabled to obtain these measures. Their names and
FlexDial™ designations are as follows:
Average Seizure Energy Index
ASEI ON/OFF
Postictal Suppression Index
PSI ON/OFF
Maximum Sustained Power and
MSP ON/OFF
Time to Peak Power
Maximum Sustained Coherence and
COH ON/OFF
Time to Peak Coherence
Duke University Amplitude Measures
DUKE ON/OFF
The AVERAGE SEIZURE ENERGY INDEX (ASEI) integrates the total ictal EEG power across the entire
seizure and divides the result by the total seizure duration.
The POSTICTAL SUPPRESSION INDEX (PSI) measures the percentage decrease in ictal EEG amplitude
immediately following seizure termination.
The MAXIMUM SUSTAINED POWER (MSP) measure reports the mean value of the 10-second EEG segment
with the highest average power recorded during the seizure.
