PREPARE THE BABY
The baby should be sleeping or in a quiet and relaxed state.
Sucking, blinking, crying or movement may affect testing.
If the baby’s skin is oily or covered in vernix, the electrode placement sites
should be cleaned prior to placing the electrodes.
Use a conductive gel with the electrodes to improve impedances.
Place surface electrodes using the specified test montage for the selected
protocol (mastoid or nape).
Connect the cables from the preamplifier to the respective surface electrodes.
PLACE TRANSDUCER
Place the probe or insert earphones in the baby’s ear/s or place the EarCups around the baby’s ears.
To reduce the chance of
electrical interference, ensure
that the electrode cables are
placed away from the insert
earphone or EarCup transducer
box.
