Introduction
The Xltek
®
EMU40EX
™
amplifier is a powerful and flexible EEG recording system. This rugged device
was designed with extensive clinical input to meet the workflow and application needs for diagnostic EEG
and Long Term Monitoring (LTM).
EMU40EX records a total of 46 channels: 40 referential EEG channels, 4 DC input channels for
supplemental signal transducers and 2 SpO2 and Pulse Rate channels from its internal pulse oximeter.
The EMU40EX data stream acquired by the EMU40EX amplifier system is reviewed, analyzed, and
archived using a Natus NeuroWorks
®
workstation. Standard TCP/IP or USB connectivity is supported for
quick and easy installation. The Natus base unit offers TCP/IP and USB connectivity for quick and easy
installation. This rugged device was designed with extensive clinical input to meet the workflow and
application needs of the EEG, LTM, or PSG Lab.
EMU40EX features include:
40 referential channels, 4 DC channels, and 2 pulse oximeter channels (Sp02 and Pulse Rate)
Ability to initiate an impedance test, change the threshold and view the results in the patient room
Ambulatory Mode maintains data acquisition upon disconnection of the patient data cable
Automatic fall-over to internal storage of full-resolution data for up to two hours
Live display of EEG waveforms remains available over a secure Bluetooth connection during
Ambulatory Mode
Data acquired on the Breakout Box while in Ambulatory Mode is transparently and seamlessly
transferred to the Base Unit after resuming wired-mode operation
Standard TCP/IP and USB connectivity to Natus NeuroWorks
®
workstations
