Introduction
Components of the BRM3 Brain Monitor system
Touchscreen Monitor
The Touchscreen Monitor contains the microcomputer that processes the digital signal from the DAU,
and the touch-screen visual display unit that displays results and allows the user to control the BRM3
Brain Monitor. It is powered from a separate power supply unit mounted on the Roll Pole.
DAU
The DAU conditions the EEG signals from the sensors and converts them to digital form for processing. It
also contains the medical isolation circuitry used to protect both patient and equipment in the unlikely
event of an electrical fault.
Connecting cables
The USB 2.0 Cable connects the DAU to the Touchscreen Monitor, providing a data circuit between the
two modules. The USB 2.0 cable also provides the DAU with DC power.
Roll Pole
The Roll Pole provides an adjustable mounting platform for the components of the BRM3 Brain Monitor,
and its accessories. It features an adjustable pole, lockable wheels and an Accessory Basket.
Other items
Other items supplied with the BRM3 Brain Monitor include:

Data transfer accessories to allow files to be transferred to removable media.

Literature and software containing information about how to assemble and use the BRM3 Brain
Monitor.

Disposable starter materials required when learning to apply a Neonatal Sensor Set or Sensor
Adaptor Set.
Other items that may be used as optional accessories include:

Printer mounting bracket.
 Recommended printer, Hewlett Packard models HP450cbi, HP460cb and HP460wbt.
Intended use
The BRM3 Brain Monitor and RecogniZe event detection algorithm are intended for use:

To monitor the state of the brain by acquisition of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, in clinical
environments such as the intensive care unit, and for clinical research.

Only with neonatal patients, defined as from birth to 28 days post-delivery, and corresponding to a
post-conceptual age of 24 to 46 weeks.

To identify events in acquired EEG signals that may correspond to seizure activity in the patient.
Event detections must be reviewed and interpreted by qualified clinical practitioners.
The BRM3 Brain Monitor does not provide any diagnostic conclusion about the patient’s condition.
