• CMMR should be greater than 100 dB and input impedance should be greater
than 10 M Ohm
• Operate from 200 to 240 Vac, 50 Hz input supply
• There is an EEG Disc Electrode that can be reused, EEG Paste, Head Cap for adult
and infant
 How It Work

The billions of nerve cells in your brain produce very small electrical signals that
form patterns called brain waves. During an EEG, small electrodes and wires are
attached to your head. The electrodes detect your brain waves and the EEG
machine amplifies the signals and records them in a wave pattern on graph paper
or a computer screen.
There are several different ways to conduct an EEG:
• Standart EEG
• Ambulatory EEG
• Video EEG
 Troubleshooting
Symptom Reasons Troubleshooting Action
Machine runs, but the 1. Ink reservoirs for pens 1. Check ink reservoirs 1. For dry ink reservoirs,
tracing on one or more are dry fill to level suggested
channels is missing by manufacturer
(usually below top
rim)
2. Ink tubes are clogged 2. Check in tubes for 2. For clogged ink tubes,
clogging remove the tube and
pen and soak in warm
water. Use a fine wire
to water.
3. Pen is not touching 3. Check for upwardly 3. For bent pens remove
the pen in question
and gently bend the
pen downward
 Symptom Reason Troubleshooting Action
Spotty recordings 1. Worn pens or 1. Check paper loading 1. For paper loading,
(light or dark) incorectly perform
manufacturer’s
procedure
2. And if propper, then 2. For worn pen tip,
check pen for worn tip replace with
(ink not feeding manufacturer’s part
properly) or equivalent
Noisy or poor recording 1. Lead connection or 1. Place selector 1. For patient
electronic or switches to standard connection, physically

operation
2. If calibration, 2. For machine problem,

The problem is necessary
properly the patient
connection
 Symptom Reason Troubleshooting Action
Noise or poor recording 1. Grounded all EEG
Leads and check for
straight line tracing
(noiseless). If good,
connect an EEG
simulator, if available.
Check for good tracing
If noise appears on
the trace, the problem
is properly inside the
machine. Refer to the
service manual for
troubleshooting.
