Intended use
The product is intended to be used for acquisition of (electro)-physiological signals by, or under
supervision of, a physician. The user must have knowledge of current good practice in physiological
measurement in science and clinical application. The product is intended to be used within a clinical
or home environment and can be used stationary or ambulatory.
Electrophysiological signals (e.g. EEG, EMG or ECG) are measured via the unipolar or bipolar inputs
on the device via electrode leads connected to a patient or subject. Other physiological parameters,
such as respiration, body position, body movement and temperature are measured using the
auxiliary input channel. These types of signals require additional sensor interface modules.
Important
The system does
not
perform any signal interpretation or signal analysis.
This is left to the researcher/physician.
The system is
not
intended for use in a life supporting system.
The device transfers the data to the PC by means of a wireless (Bluetooth) connection, where the
signals can be viewed or stored for further processing. The device is powered by a set of batteries.
