Compliance The CE 1015 Mark identifies compliance with the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/ EEC. The TruScan EEG is classified as a Class IIa device equipment according to the rules of the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/ EEC. In regards to electrotechnical classification, the TruScan EEG is classified as a Class I electrical device (IEC 60601) equipment in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but includes a grounding pin on the power cord. For ground reliability always plug the power cord into an AC grounded outlet. Type BF Equipment: The TruScan EEG is a Type B piece of equipment with an F-Type applied part. A Type B piece of equipment is one that provides a particular degree of protection against electric shock, particularly regarding allowable leakage current and reliability of the protective earth connection (grounding). F-Type applied part is one that extends from the patient into the equipment and is isolated from all other parts of the equipment.
EMI, by its very nature, can be a source of possible disturbance to electronic equipment. This device should be used in an environment free* of other equipment that could be affected by interference. *Environment free as described in IEC1000-2-3, Part 2, 1992, First Edition.

A third label, NOTES, helps you identify areas of possible confusion and avoid potential problems during system operation. IMPORTANT! Please read and follow all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES provided in this guide. To avoid the possibility of injury, damage to your TruScan EEG or lost data, observe these safety precautions during system operation and maintenance. For your information, the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS provided in this manual are listed on the following pages. User and System Warnings: This device shall only be used in rooms designated for medical use. Only personnel properly trained to operate the Deymed TruScan EEG should use this system for patient testing. Connect patient electrodes to fully electrically-isolated physiological devices only. Connection of patient electrodes to any other devices or external electrical outlets may result in personal injury. Do not operate the device in close proximity (i.e., less than 1 meter) to a shortwave or microwave therapy device. This practice may lead to electromagnetic interference into the electrode leads and can cause patient burns. Using electrodes with current densities greater than 2 mA r.m.s./cm2 may require the special attention of the operator. This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, or in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with oxygen or nitrous oxide. CAUTIONS Proper use of this device depends on careful reading of all instructions and labels. Installation of this system must be performed only by a qualified Deymed representative. It is not user installable. All non-medical equipment connected to this device, such as printers, must comply with IEC900 and/ or all European Directives. All non-medical devices must be connected to the Deymed Isolated Power Supply. Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance for the Deymed TruScan EEG consists of periodically cleaning and visually inspecting the exterior of the instrument. Deymed Diagnostic recommends that the typical user follow the preventive maintenance schedule presented in TruScan EEG Service Manual. Your own schedule may vary based on the type and amount of instrument use.

Basic Steps for Recording EEG Patient Hookup with Recording Cap 1. Scrub the patient's ears and forehead with Nuprep and wipe off with an alcohol swab. 2. Measure the circumference of the patient's head in order to choose the right recording cap: Green Yellow Red Blue
(47-51 cm) (51-55 cm) (54-58 cm) (59-63 cm)
3. Put the cap on the patient's head with the tag in the back. • Make sure FZ, CZ, PZ are centered • Make sure that CZ lines up with the ears 4. If using ear electrodes, place tin ear clip electrodes, filled with gel, onto the patient's ears 5. If using ear electrodes, plug ear electrodes into ear sockets in cap, or if cap does not have ear connectors, plug into A1 and A2 sockets on Headbox. 6. If the recording cap is not a Deymed brand cap, place a ground electrode, filled with paste, onto the patient's forehead, in the center of FP1 and FP2, and plug the electrode into the green 'PG' slot on the TruScan Headbox. 7. Plug the cap into the Headbox via the 25 pin connector, preferably using the included wear and tear extension cable to protect the Headbox connector from overuse. 8. Put gel into every hole in the cap but be careful not to overfill. If gel runs down from one electrode to the other, they will short and the signal will be disrupted. 9. Make sure that all of the impedances, including the ground, are below 10Kohm or show as Blue or Green on the impedance display. If any channel is not showing Blue or Green, then the connection is most likely not low enough and precaution should be taken to further lower the impedance. TIP: Take the end of the wooden Q-tip and twist around in the corresponding hole on the cap for the problem electrode. You can also add more gel if necessary being careful not to ==overfill. Software Setup and Recording 1. From the Edit Patient's Card tab, add a new patient. Fill in the name fields. Give the patient an ID number. 2. Set the montage to the preferred montage* (on the left side on the screen next to the record and stop buttons) 3. Set the sensitivity to 70µV to start. You may reduce or increase this to facilitate a better visualization of the brainwaves during the recording. Note that this setting does not affect the actual stored data. 4. Hit record when the patient is ready with his or her eyes closed and still. If the patient needs assistance keeping his/her eyes closed then place your fingers over his or her eyes.

5. Look for EMG and movement on the recording and if necessary pause and coach the patient. 6. After 10 minutes of recording hit stop. 7. The Patient may now be disconnected and cleaned up. You may now exit the TruScan software. * The Montage selection is only for viewing purposes. You can change the Montage at any time during or after the recording with no change to the recorded data.

To search the list click in the column that you would like to search by, and start typing. ==[The text will appear in the search window as you type and the database list will be sorted to the text entered]. The list can be sorted by any of the columns including surname, name or patient ID. The patient may also be deleted from this menu, which will remove them from the database. To delete a patient, click on the patient's name and hold down the CTRL + Delete. A prompt will then ask you to confirm this action.
Record list The records list includes a list of all recordings that have been made under the patient that is currently selected. The list includes numerous parameters that can be used to sort the list. To sort the list by any of the columns, simply click on that column.
Notes The notes area includes any notes that were input during acquisition. The user can edit or add notes directly in this field at any time. There is one Notes section for each recorded EEG file.
Uninterpreted Records List The uninterpreted records area displays all EEG recordings that have not been finalized with an interpretation. This list can serve as a work list. The EEG files can be opened directly from this list by double-clicking on the file.
==[add more text desc]
A file is marked as interpreted or uninterpreted via the Interpretation Editor from the main EEG review interface. From the Interpretation Editor, the button 'Completed' must be clicked to show the file has been interpreted. Once this has happened the file longer be displayed in this list.
