Key features optimizing them for IOM include:
- Superior Signal Quality: Engineered for extremely low noise and impedance levels, ensuring clear and reliable neurological recording signals.
- Secure Penetration: The durable stainless steel needle features an ultra-sharp lancet cut tip for easy and secure skin penetration and stable recording, even when placed directly in the scalp.
- Sterility and Safety: The electrodes are EO-sterilized to guarantee sterility and prevent cross-contamination. They are also latex-free.
- Easy Identification: Features color-coded twisted pair lead wires for streamlined setup, terminated with a standard 1.5 mm touch-proof safety connector (DIN 42 802).
Does the packaging include enough electrodes?
The Ambu Neuroline Twisted Pair Subdermal Needle Electrodes are packaged for professional high-volume usage. Each box contains 20 units of the subdermal needle electrodes. These are highly recommended for Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM) recordings, where having a reliable quantity is crucial for procedural confidence.
Do these electrodes ensure clear signal reliability?
Yes, the Ambu Neuroline Twisted Pair Subdermal Needle Electrodes are specifically engineered to provide clear, reliable signal acquisition, making them ideal for critical procedures like Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM).
This reliability is achieved through several design features:
- Optimized Signal Quality: The electrodes are designed for low noise and low impedance levels, which minimizes electrical interference and ensures a high-fidelity signal.
- Twisted Pair Technology: The color-coded lead wires are twisted together, a design choice that helps significantly reduce electromagnetic noise pickup during recordings.
- Secure Placement: The stainless steel needle features an ultra-sharp lancet cut tip for easy, secure, and stable skin penetration, ensuring the needle remains optimally positioned, even when placed directly in the scalp.
Does this electrode use a touch-proof safety connector?
Yes, these electrodes are equipped with a high-safety connector essential for reliable Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM) recordings. Safety is critical, and the design ensures a secure and reliable connection.
Key details regarding the connector:
- It is a 1.5 mm touch-proof safety connector.
- The connector complies with the DIN 42 802 standard.
Is the stainless steel needle durable?
Yes, the Ambu Neuroline subdermal needle is engineered for both durability and optimized performance, utilizing stainless steel construction.
Key features supporting its reliable performance:
- Durable Construction: The stainless steel material is optimized to provide a necessary combination of strength and flexibility, ensuring stable placement crucial for long Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM) procedures.
- Precision Tip: It features an ultra-sharp lancet cut tip designed for easy and secure penetration, even when placed directly on the scalp.
- Signal Integrity: The design supports low noise and impedance characteristics, ensuring clear and reliable signal acquisition.
The needle specifications are fixed across all configurations: 27G gauge, 0.40 mm caliber, and 12 mm (0.5 inches) length.
What sterilization method is used?
The Ambu Neuroline Subdermal Needle Electrodes are supplied factory new and sterile, ensuring they are ready for immediate use in critical procedures like Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM).
- Sterilization Method: The electrodes are sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO-sterilization).
Additional safety and connectivity features include:
- Secure Connection: The electrodes feature a 1.5 mm touch-proof safety connector (DIN 42 802 standard) for enhanced reliability.
- Material Composition: Both the electrode and the lead wires are confirmed to be latex-free.
- Packaging: The packaging is PVC-free, though the lead wires do contain PVC insulation.
Do these electrodes have a long shelf life?
Yes, these electrodes are designed for long-term reliability and storage.
- They offer a generous 5-year shelf life from the date of manufacture.
- The warranty covers the product until the date of use or expiration.
- The electrodes are supplied EO-sterilized (Ethylene Oxide), which ensures they remain sterile and viable for use throughout their entire shelf life.
Are the lead wires color-coded for easy setup?
Yes, the lead wires for the Ambu Neuroline Twisted Pair Subdermal Needle Electrodes are color-coded to ensure quick and error-free identification, which is critical for demanding procedures like Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM).
The electrodes use a twisted pair design for low noise. The following colors are used for coding, each twisted with either a black or white wire:
- Gray
- Brown
- Purple
- Tan
- Pink
All connections terminate in a 1.5 mm touch-proof safety connector (DIN 42 802).
Are these Neuroline subdermal electrodes latex-free?
Yes, the Ambu Neuroline subdermal electrodes are designed with patient safety in mind and are completely latex-free.
This safety compliance applies to both the electrode itself and the lead wires:
- Latex-free Electrode: Yes
- Latex-free Lead Wire: Yes
While the product is latex-free, please note the material composition regarding PVC components:
- The lead wire insulation utilizes Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
- However, the product packaging is confirmed to be PVC-free.
What are the available lead wire lengths?
The Ambu Neuroline electrodes are available in four lead wire lengths, providing the necessary flexibility to accommodate diverse setups required for Intra-Operative Monitoring (IOM):
- 40 inches (100 cm)
- 60 inches (150 cm)
- 80 inches (200 cm)
- 100 inches (250 cm)
