–
you will need the following:
•
2 subdermal needle electrodes
•
1 hydrogel electrode (for ground)
•
Electrode positioning aid and Skin Marker
•
Alcohol swabs for skin cleaning
•
Tape to secure electrodes
•
Comb/toothbrush to part the hair if needed
•
NuPrep and gauze for cleaning ground electrode site
Measure the infants head keeping the positioning aid vertical and parallel
to the face. Align it so that the letter at the ear tragus is the same as the
letter at the sagittal suture. The forward edge of the positioning aid should
touch the tragus. Mark the two sensor sites, one on each side of the
positioning aid, at the end of the arrows (P3/P4 position)
•
Clean electrode site with alcohol swab and insert the needle
electrode sub dermally.
•
Place one electrode at a time and secure
•
For ground electrode, select a site with minimal hair on shoulder, neck or behind the ear
•
Clean site with NuPrep, remove NuPrep with damp gauze and firmly place electrode
Use the head graphic to connect the sensors into the appropriate
receptacles on the data acquisition box. The left posterior sensor goes into
P3, the right posterior sensor goes into P4 and the ground sensor plugs into
the COMMON receptacle in the middle
