Olympic CFM 6000 Data Displays The Olympic CFM 6000 records and displays three types of tracings: CFM, EEG, and impedance.
CFM Tracings The CFM tracing indicates the overall electrocortical background activity of the brain by recording amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG). The EEG signal is filtered, rectified, and semi-logarithmically compressed. It is then displayed at a very slow chart speed, 1 mm per minute. A high reading on the chart indicates a high level of activity; a low value indicates low activity. The CFM 6000 screen shows three hours of a CFM tracing. The CFM 6000 may be applied at any time, or used continuously, to determine the neurological status of a patient. A minimum of 20 minutes of trace should be observed to make a determination of neurological status. However, when there is a question about the presence of seizures, or potential changes in neurological status as a result of illness or other clinical treatment, it is generally best to observe the record for a longer, continuous period. The exact length of this period depends on the frequency of the seizures, or the condition or treatment being monitored. The CFM may record continuously for up to 30 days. A CFM tracing is created by the continuous up and down movement of a digital pen responding to subtle variations in a brain's electrocortical activity. A tracing rises in response to increased activity and drops in response to lowered activity according to a fixed algorithm. With the pen moving at a very slow rate across the screen, 1 pixel width of CFM tracing reflects about 15 seconds of data. Previous versions of the Olympic CFM 6000 offered only one view, CFM Basic. The CFM Basic view shows a series of vertical lines of different lengths, each of uniform density. This view shows no variation in the color of the 'ink.' CFM 6000 version 2.0 introduces a new and more sensitive view, CFM Insight. This view shows each vertical line with variable density that reflects the relative amount of time the brain spends at different levels of electrical activity, more closely approximating the trace generated by a CFM 5330 (Lectromed). Sometimes these two views are nearly identical; in other cases, Insight provides a clear gray-scale effect where a dark central band of activity can be seen, surrounded by lighter bands of activity above or below. This can be a valuable aid to identification of artifacts and can help identify certain conditions more clearly. The CFM 6000 now offers both views and the capability to toggle between them. The following illustration shows a tracing with both views.

Basic and Insight views
EEG Tracings The EEG tracing shows the underlying EEG detail that relates to the cursor position on the CFM tracing. The EEG cursor on the CFM tracing represents 15 seconds. The EEG window shows between 3 and 14 seconds of the EEG tracing at a time, depending on the EEG speed setting. The EEG can help confirm seizures and other brain activity. Display the EEG at a lower amplitude setting to see more detail; display it at a higher amplitude setting to show only major events. For information about changing speed and amplitude settings, see Changing EEG Speed and Amplitude on page 20. The following illustration shows a CFM tracing with underlying EEG data. Figure 4
CFM tracing with EEG detail
Impedance Tracings The impedance tracing indicates the connection quality (contact between the patient and the electrodes) and distinguishes noise. Impedance greater than 20 kΩ indicates that the electrodes should be reapplied or replaced. Occasional random spikes might occur when electrode conductivity changes for brief moments. The Lead-Off alert appears and sounds if the impedance becomes greater than 20 kΩ for more than three seconds. Tip: To maintain good impedance when recording over long periods of time, it might be necessary to reattach or replace the electrodes periodically. The following illustration shows a CFM tracing with the associated impedance tracing. Figure 5

NOTE
Read the warnings and cautions on page 2 before operating this device.
To obtain assistance or reorder items, see Service on page 34 and Replacement Parts on page 34.
Required items: Electrodes - hydrogel or low-impedance needle
10
Skin prep gel, such as NuPrep™ brand (if using hydrogel electrodes) (part no. 62060)
2x2 or 4x4 gauze pads (if using NuPrep skip prep gel)
OLYMPIC CFM 6000 Operator’s Manual
Adhesive tape, Coban™ wrap, or Kling® wrap (if using low-impedance needle electrodes)
Medications may affect the patient’s record. Anticonvulsants or sedatives may transiently suppress the CFM record. Administration of drugs or other clinical events should be noted to facilitate interpretation of the record.
Poor electrode contact may cause high impedance. To ensure good electrode contact, always prepare the patient’s skin before attaching the electrodes.
For instructions and warnings relating to cleaning agents and skin prep gel (for example, alcohol wipes or NuPrep), consult the product instructions.
1
Verify that the amplifier module is connected to the CFM 6000 and that the CFM 6000 is turned on.
2
Determine whether to place electrodes biparietally or frontally and whether to use hydrogel or low-impedance electrodes, and then locate the areas of contact on the patient’s head according to one of the following placement methods:
CAUTION
NOTICE!
#
NOTE
Depending on the type of electrodes used, color coding indicated below may not be applicable. The BLACK electrode is the ground; the YELLOW electrode is placed on the patient’s right (left when facing the patient); and the RED electrode is placed on the patient’s left (right when facing the patient).
Placement method 1 - Biparietal placement for hydrogel or low-impedance needle electrodes: Figure 6
a
Biparietal placement
Locate the vertex and identify a point 25 mm anterior to it. The BLACK electrode (1) is to be placed at this location.
b Locate a point approximately 50 mm posterior to the vertex. The RED electrode
(2) is to be placed approximately 37 mm to the patient’s left of this point (right if facing the patient).
c
The YELLOW electrode (3) is to be placed approximately 75 mm to the patient’s right of the red electrode (left if facing the patient).
OLYMPIC CFM 6000 Operator’s Manual
11
Placement method 2 - Frontal placement for hydrogel electrodes (use this method if hair interferes with biparietal placement of hydrogel electrodes): Figure 7
Frontal placement
The BLACK electrode (1) is to be placed at the center of the patient’s forehead as close to the hairline as possible. b The YELLOW electrode (2) is to be placed approximately 37 mm to the patient’s right of the center electrode (left if facing the patient). c The RED electrode (3) is to be placed approximately 37 mm to the patient’s left of the center electrode (right if facing the patient). a
#
NOTE
#
NOTE
3
Visually examine the electrode package for damage before opening it. Remove the electrode set from the package, and examine the electrodes and leads. If damage is apparent, discard the set.
4
Clean and dry the areas of the patient’s head where the electrodes are to be placed. Do not use alcohol for cleaning: alcohol can increase impedance.
It is recommended that you prep and place one electrode at a time when possible.
Where hair might present a barrier to good electrode contact, either shave the area or tamp down the hair with water during cleaning, and then pat dry.
5
#
NOTE
If using hydrogel electrodes, prepare the areas of contact prior to placement, as follows: a Apply a small dot of skin prep gel, such as NuPrep, to each area of contact. You can use a 2x2 or 4x4 gauze pad to apply the NuPrep.
Always apply the skin prep gel directly to the skin. Never apply it directly to an electrode because it can increase impedance.
b Vigorously rub the NuPrep over the skin for 20 to 30 seconds, removing the
surface layer of dead skin to improve conductivity. Ensure that the entire surface area to be covered by the electrode is prepared. c Thoroughly remove the NuPrep with a new, clean gauze pad, and make sure the area is completely dry. 6
12
After the area is prepared, attach the electrodes, as follows:
For low-impedance electrodes, insert the needle subcutaneously up to the plastic hub and secure as you would an IV.
For hydrogel electrodes, run a finger around the edges of the electrode for 20 to 30 seconds to ensure a secure seal.
OLYMPIC CFM 6000 Operator’s Manual
7
Form a strain relief to minimize motion artifact by collecting the three leads into a bundle and tying the bundle into a small, loose loop near the electrodes. The strain relief loop should be as close to the electrodes as possible, while remaining isolated from them. Secure the loop to the patient’s head with Coban™ or Kling® wrap. If desired, create a second strain relief loop near the amplifier end of the leads.
8
Connect the leads to the amplifier module, matching them to the corresponding color-coded receptacles, and clip the amplifier module to the patient’s bedding.
