Acquistion

Amplifiers for every requirement

EEG-1200 can be delivered with a wide range of amplifiers, from a 32 channel routine amplifier to a 256 channel
amplifier for intracranial long term recordings.

Multifunction junction box for clinical routine

The electrode junction box JE-921A has 25 EEG, 14 bipolar (7 pairs), 4 DC, SpO2 and CO2 connectors. Its sibling
JE-910A comes with 25 EEG, 4 Extra and 3 bipolar connectors.

PSG junction box (option)

The PSG amplifier JE-912AK with comfortable mini junction box JE-915A is an easy to use and flexible solution for
polysomnographic recordings.

Multi-channel amplifier (option)

The multi channel amplifier JE-120A with up to 256 channels and high speed sampling rates of up to 10 kHz is the
ideal solution for long term recordings or research purposes.

Standard amplifier PSG amplifier Mini junction boxes for

JE-921A JE-912AK incl. JE-915A multichannel amplifier

Input box converter (standard with multi channel amplifier)

The input box converter QI-122AK provides LAN connectivity so it is easy to expand your EEG system. It connects all
amplifiers to the EEG-1200 via standard CAT5 Ethernet cabling. QI-122AK provides 16 additional DC inputs (multi
channel amplifier only) and connection for photic stimulator.

Wireless input unit, “Air-EEG” WEE-1000K (option)

Up to 64 channels EEG data can be sent to the EEG unit by wireless
transmission. Wireless reduces stress to the patients and lets physicians
monitor the EEG data while the patients are moving freely. All options
(including digital video) of the EEG-1200 are available with the wireless
input unit. Innovative roaming functions and an optional SpO2 probe that
can be connected directly to the telemetry unit makes it suitable for all
kind of EEG- and PSG recordings.

EEG Recording Navigation

You can set several measurements as one routine in advance and record the series of EEG data automatically. You
can program the pattern, recording time, photic stimulation mode and other items for each stage.

Data review during acquisition
Comparison mode: The EEG Scope function lets you look back into
and review previous epochs of EEG while simultaneously monitoring
current EEG acquisition. One side of a split screen shows previous EEG
epochs and the other side shows the current EEG.

On-line frequency mapping

The EEG data can be shown as a frequency map during acquisition, so
you can easily check the frequency distribution.

Review
Easy to use software interface
EEG-1200 software has an easy to operate graphical user interface
which can be adapted to user requirements. Standard settings provide
an intuitive software layout making it easy to learn even for beginners.
Individual configuration of the software layout allows adapting EEG-
1200 to every need:
 flexible arrangement of menu bars
 colouring of waveforms
 individual montage settings

Review of EEG waveforms

Waveforms can be displayed in a variety of methods.
 40 individual montages with up to 250 traces
 Pre-defined or individual high / low cut filters.
 Manual or automatic paging forwards and backwards is the standard
way of reviewing EEG waveforms. Other ways are the event bar or
DSA trend graph to navigate to interesting parts of the EEG recording.
 Several measurement tools help to go into details.
 A part of the waveforms can be copied into the note waveform
window to compare them to the current waveforms.

DSA trend graphs

Frequency components of EEG waveforms and the amplitudes of each frequency are displayed as a DSA (Density
Spectral Array) trend graph on the review screen and EEG Scope. The DSA lets you find epileptic seizures of a
specific EEG frequency band over a long period of time at a glance. Up to 8 trend graphs can be displayed, each
with its own settings in regards of the electrodes shown.

3D voltage mapping
Whole head maps provide a complete overview and a better interpretation
of the topography of EEG abnormalities. Just click on a detected pattern to
obtain 3D maps of the whole head. Click on a particular view to obtain a
series of maps showing the change over time.

EEG mapping
The EEG mapping module QP-220AK provides amplitude and frequency
mapping of EEG waveforms
 Real-time mapping during acquisition
 Off-line mapping during review for selected intervals
 Up to eight frequency maps (seven power/voltage maps at seven different frequency bands and one map of all
frequency bands)
 Power/Voltage spectra for up to 32 channels of EEG waveform data
 Edge frequency, average frequency, median frequency or peak frequency for each spectrum is indicated with a
mark.

Potential mapping Spectral analysis Frequency mapping

Reporting
NeuroReport is the common reporting tool for all
neurological systems from Nihon Kohden. Various predefined
templates can be used to create customized reports for
different examination types, physicians or other criteria.
You can also create an EMU examination report which has
screen comments automatically assigned to seizure events.
A powerful auto-text function helps to create individual
reports. Saved within the database in a license free format,
the reports will be automatically converted into PDF after
finalizing.

and resolutions (up to 720*576 pixel) are available.
 Real time and fast forward mode (up to 20 times) for reviewing
the video
 Comfortable clipping and snapshot functions allow reducing
the video data by creating new video EEG clips or attaching

and evaluation of epileptiform EEG activities recorded non-
invasively from the human scalp.

Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Impedance Respiration)

Impedance respiration measurement is very sensitive and affected by electromagnetic interference. Technological
limitations do not allow immunity levels higher than 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields.
Electromagnetic fields with conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause measurement error. Do not use
electrically radiating equipment near the impedance respiration measurements.

The JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1200
must be used only in a shielded location with a
minimum RF shielding effectiveness and, for each
cable that enters the shielded location, a
minimum RF filter attenuation of 31 dB over the
frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Refer to the
note below this table.

NOTE 1: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection structures, objects and people.
NOTE 2: It is essential that the actual shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation of the shielded location be verified to
assure that they meet the minimum specification.
* Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength outside the shielded location in which the JE-921A that is connected to the
EEG-1200 is used exceeds 3 V/m, observe the JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1200 to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as relocating the JE-921A that is
connected to the EEG-1200 or using the shielded location with a higher RF shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation.

NOTE
The JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1200 should be used in a shielded location with an RF filter
attenuation of 31 dB over the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. If the JE-921A that is connected to the
EEG‑1200 is used outside shielded location, use it in a location where the measured field strength is less than
0.3 V/m. To measure shielding effectiveness, consult a service engineer.

Recommended Separation Distances between Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment
The EEG-1200 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the EEG-1200 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the EEG-1200
as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications.

10 3.8 3.8 7.3
100 12 12 23
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
