–
the Olympic Brainz Monitor is the optimal CFM solution for fast & simple routine bedside monitoring.
The Olympic Brainz Monitor provides aEEG, real time EEG and continuous measurement of impedance in up to 3
channels. The NICU friendly interface allows real time monitoring of brain function, providing vital data that may
assist in predicting outcomes.

Clinical Usage of aEEG Monitoring
Medical literature reports that aEEG monitoring can be used to:
•
Monitor general neurological status
•
Monitor and record seizures
3
•
Monitor during hypothermic treatment to measure the effectiveness
of treatment
4
- The time to normal trace (TTNT) has prognostic value and is a good
predictor of neurodevelopment outcome in term infants with Hypoxic-
Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing hypothermic treatment
5
•
Monitor aEEG patterns to indicate the presence of sleep wake cycling
(cyclicity) in term and preterm infants, which is associated with better
outcomes in HIE patients
6
and may add value in developmental care
Ease of Operation
•
System based Online Help feature provides a step-by-step guide for
setting up both the system and patient prep – allowing staff to start
monitoring in minutes
•
Intuitive navigation allows access to information fast when you need
it most
•
Versatile Patient Settings
- Easily add a channel to an existing single channel setup
- Cross cerebral, right and left hemisphere with up to 3-channel
monitoring simplies patient hook up and provides additional data
when needed
CFMsight
™
•
Provides enhanced signal display for easier trace interpretation
Ease of interpretation and collaboration
CFM Viewer
•
CFM Viewer software implements similar functionality to the bedside
unit, permitting review and analysis of recorded CFM data away from
the bedside
•
Remote review and consultation – offers remote viewing of active or
stored recordings from any location
- Simplies consultation
- Provides remote review and annotation of patient recordings with
marked events appearing at bedside
•
Web-based
Event markers
•
User-customizable, time-stamped markers keep track of when
medications are administered, making the review process more efcient
and easier for cross collaboration
•
Different colors designate whether markers were placed at bedside or using
Viewer from a remote location
File management and printing options
•
Network archiving feature allows transfer of sessions and facilitates le
management by increasing speed of transfer
•
Network printer connectivity simplies charting and record keeping,
saving cost by allowing printing onto standard paper
•
Archive, restore and review patient les via USB, allowing data
management even when not connected to the hospital network
Consumables
Electrodes
•
Both Hydrogel and Needle electrodes are supported through standard
touch-proof connectors located on the amplier housing

Trace appears normal without CFMsight Same trace with CFMsight shows a burst suppression pattern,
the accompanying EEG trace also shows ECG artifact
which explains the falsely elevated baseline
