Frequently asked questions
Is this system suitable for critical care environments?
Yes, the Natus Xltek Brain Monitor is specifically engineered for demanding clinical settings, combining high-performance EEG and PSG capabilities.
The system is ideally suited for:
- Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMU): It provides comprehensive, high-channel monitoring (50 total input channels) necessary for critical care.
- Dedicated Sleep Labs (PSG): It fully supports simultaneous EEG and sleep studies, complemented by integrated Masimo SET oximetry for continuous $\text{SpO}_2$ and pulse rate tracking.
Its advanced design, which includes data digitization at the amplifier, ensures ultra-low noise performance and superb signal quality, which is essential for accurate diagnoses in complex hospital environments.
Does the monitor have 50 input channels?
Yes, the Natus Xltek Brain Monitor is designed for comprehensive data acquisition, featuring a total of 50 input channels. This high channel count enables the system to perform a full EEG study simultaneously with a detailed sleep study (PSG).
The 50 input channels are broken down as follows:
- 32 Referential Channels
- 10 DC Channels
- 6 Differential Channels
- 2 Sensor Channels
Additionally, the system includes integrated monitoring capabilities, specifically an internal Masimo SET oximeter for continuous measurement of oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate.
Is the wearable amplifier designed for patient mobility?
Yes, the Natus Xltek system is specifically designed for patient mobility and comfort during monitoring.
- The main amplifier unit is small and lightweight (approximately 1.8 lb), allowing it to be worn by the patient.
- The associated breakout box (0.69 lb) is also highly portable and features quick, color-coded electrode connections.
This user-centric design facilitates freedom of movement, which is essential for comprehensive studies in settings like the EMU, ICU, and sleep labs.
What components are included with the monitor?
The Natus Xltek Brain Monitor is supplied as a Certified Refurbished system, featuring the core components necessary for high-performance EEG and simultaneous sleep (PSG) monitoring.
Included components are:
- 32-Channel Amplifier (Main Unit): This is the compact, lightweight core unit known for its superior signal integrity.
- Breakout Box: Essential for patient connection, this unit features color-coded, touch-proof electrode inputs and a convenient built-in nightlight (White LEDs).
- Photic Stimulator: Used for specific light-based stimulation during EEG studies.
- Connection Cable: The dedicated cable used to link the monitor (amplifier) to the breakout box.
Please Note: The dedicated acquisition computer (required for running the monitoring software) and the cart are not included with this system and must be purchased separately.
Does the monitor include integrated SpO₂ monitoring?
Yes, the Natus Xltek Brain Monitor features integrated vital monitoring capabilities crucial for comprehensive studies like Polysomnography (PSG).
- Integrated Technology: The system incorporates an advanced Masimo SET oximeter.
- Monitored Vitals: This integration provides continuous, simultaneous monitoring of both oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate directly within the EEG/Sleep system.
Does the system offer advanced connectivity options?
Yes, the Natus Xltek Brain Monitor EEG & Sleep System provides advanced connectivity with options for both Ethernet (supporting TCP/IP, UDP, and DHCP) and USB 2.0. This allows for flexible data streaming and acquisition, making it easy to integrate into various medical environments.
Is this a certified refurbished system?
Yes, the Natus Xltek Brain Monitor EEG & Sleep System is a certified refurbished product. This ensures it meets high standards for performance and reliability.
Is the signal quality superb?
Yes, the Natus Xltek Brain Monitor is specifically engineered for superb signal quality and ultra-low noise performance, which is essential for accurate EEG and PSG studies.
Key features that ensure this high fidelity include:
- Internal Digitization: Signal processing occurs directly at the amplifier (headbox). This prevents analog noise transfer, ensuring advanced signal integrity and minimizing interference.
- High Resolution: The system utilizes 16-bit sampling resolution for highly detailed measurement capture.
- Precise Quantization: Offers fine quantization resolution, specifically 0.3 µV for referential channels and 0.6 µV for differential channels.
- Flexible Rates: Supports multiple sampling frequencies up to 512 Hz (with options including 200 Hz, 256 Hz, and 512 Hz).
Where is this versatile EEG and Sleep system used?
This versatile system is specifically engineered for demanding neurological monitoring and sleep studies across several key clinical environments:
- Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMU)
- Intensive Care Units (ICU)
- Standard EEG Labs
- Dedicated Sleep Labs (Polysomnography or PSG)
Its compact, patient-worn design and support for TCP/IP networking make it highly adaptable and easy to integrate into existing hospital infrastructure.
Is the amplifier designed for patient comfort?
Yes, the Natus Xltek system is engineered specifically for patient comfort and mobility during extended studies. The components are designed to be worn by the patient:
- The main amplifier unit is small and lightweight, weighing only 1.8 lb.
- The accompanying breakout box is also highly portable, weighing just 0.69 lb.
This design simplifies patient movement and helps maintain signal integrity throughout the monitoring period.
