After determining the electrode position system, measure the head of the patient
and calculate the electrode positions according to the distance ratio between
each electrode position. The number of electrodes should be reduced for EEG
recording on infants and small children.
Derivation
Derivation is the electrode combination for one channel. All derivations have two
electrodes: reference and active. In monopolar derivation, one “electrode” can be
several physical electrodes connected together. There are 3 kinds of derivations.
* The number of extra inputs changes depending on the electrode junction box.
If one or more of the electrodes in the AV electrode contain ECG artifact, or two
or more electrodes show simultaneous abnormal potentials, you need to exclude
any unstable electrodes.

NOTE
• When connecting an external instrument to the DC input connector, an
unwanted radio frequency signal is generated from this connection. This
affects devices such as radio and television receivers operating near
the instrument. To reduce the unwanted radio frequency signal, attach
the provided ferrite core to the DC input cable.
• Use a DC input cable that is 3 m or less.
• For the DC input connectors, the maximum input voltage is ±5 V and
the input impedance is 1.5 MΩ.

Raw
Displays the waveforms precisely. There may be small fluctuations looks like
noise.
Hi-Res: Displays all data points of the EEG waveforms. (Corresponds to
“Detailed” method in version 01-80 or earlier.)
Fast: Displays EEG waveforms in almost the same precision as the
Hi-Res mode. When the sampling rate is high or the displayed
duration is long, the waveforms are processed and displayed faster
than Hi-res mode. (Corresponds to “Peak Bottom” method in
version 01-80 or earlier.)
Processed
Displays waveforms which are processed to reduce small fluctuations.
Therefore small fluctuations or high frequency waveforms might not be
precisely displayed in this mode. When using this mode, also check the
waveforms in the Raw waveform drawing mode at the same time.
Smoothed: Smooths the waveforms by filtering small fluctuations and image
processing (anti-aliasing). (Available only for version 01-90 or
later.)
Fast: Displays simplified EEG waveforms. The amount of processing
depends on the resolution of the display. This is the fastest method.
(Corresponds to “High Speed” method in version 01-80 or earlier.)
• Select the events display position on the screen. You can select display
position from “Normal”, “ Screen top” and “Screen bottom”. When you select

General
The Acquisition program acquires the EEG waveforms and can display up to 300
channels of EEG waveforms. You can save the EEG waveforms with the patient
information, annotations, amplifier settings and display settings in a hard disk as
an EEG data file.
CAUTION
When using the instrument for brain death diagnosis, before
examination, check and adjust the date and time of the system. The
date and time on the screen and recording result are part of
important information for the medical record.
CAUTION
During measurement, do not change the date and time. This makes
the order of the saved event data and the time of the saved
waveforms incorrect.
NOTE
• During measurement, do not insert or remove a CD-R or DVD-R disk
into or from the DVD drive. Otherwise, the Acquisition program may
malfunction.
• To use the Acquisition program, 100 MB or more hard disk free space is
required.
• Turn off any screen saver and close all application programs before
opening the Acquisition program. Otherwise, the Acquisition program
might not function properly.
• When the USB cable from the electrode junction box is not connected
to the PC unit, the Acquisition program cannot open. If the Acquisition
6
program does not open, check the USB cable connection. After
connecting the USB cable, restart Windows.
• During operation, do not remove the USB cable from the PC unit.
• To perform the photic stimulation, the optional LS-120A Photic
Stimulator Control Unit is required. Before opening the Acquisition
program, check the cable connection between the photic stimulator
control unit and PC unit and power status of the photic stimulator
control unit.
* 2 GB is the maximum file size • Capacity of one measurement file is 2 GB*. When the measurement
when not using extended file data excess 2 GB, save the data as two or more files. To save a long
format. time data, set the sampling frequency as low as possible and save only
necessary electrodes.
• Set a drive for Automatic backup. Set the drive other than the
destination of the saved EEG data in case of drive malfunction.
• If the measurement continues for more than 5 minutes, the
measurement data is automatically saved. If the file is not necessary,
delete the file from the Data Manager window (file mode).
After measurement, use the Review program to review and print the EEG
waveforms.
NOTE
Turn off any screen saver and close all application programs before
opening the Acquisition program. Otherwise, the Acquisition program
might not function properly.

Measurement Flow
The acquired data is stored in the hard disk of the instrument. The procedure of
filing and saving the data is as follows:
NOTE
• You cannot save the data until the data is filed. You cannot review or
print the file until the file is saved.
• Up to 2 GB of EEG waveforms can be saved as an EEG data file for a
patient. When the EEG data file exceeds 2 GB, use the Long Term EEG
Waveform Monitoring function.
• Before measurement, check the following.
- The electrodes that are used for waveform acquisition and sampling
frequency are properly selected considering the disk capacity and
recording time (refer to “Selecting and Saving the Electrodes for
Waveform Acquisition” in Section 5).
- Storage drive is correctly selected. Refer to “Selecting Storage Drive”
in Section 5.
• The DVD drive cannot be set as a storage drive for EEG data.
Checking Waveforms

the proper option and click the OK button.
NOTE
The patient’s ID and name must be entered in order to save the EEG file.
CAUTION
Never check the skin-electrode impedance with the needle electrode
or intracranial electrode inserted in the patient. Failure to follow this
caution causes electrical burn where electrodes are inserted.
NOTE 6
• The impedance can only be checked in the Acquisition program.
• Attach the Z and electrode specified in the System program (default:
C3 and C4, A1 and A2) to the patient. Otherwise, the impedance check
result may be incorrect.
When the skin-electrode impedance is high, the waveforms are easily affected by
noise. Set the impedance threshold and check that the skin-electrode impedance
is not too high. You can check skin-electrode impedance with either the PC unit
or electrode junction box.

When ECG waveforms are superimposed on the EEG waveforms, use the ECG
filter to reduce the ECG waveform on each EEG channel. This filter works in the
following way to subtract the ECG components from the EEG waveforms.
1. The time point when the ECG waveforms exceed the trigger level of the
trigger channel is used as averaging trigger.
2. The part of the EEG waveforms synchronized with the trigger is averaged in
each channel.
3. The averaged waveform is subtracted from the next trigger point of the EEG
waveform in the averaging period in each channel.
Trigger level
The ECG filter detects the ECG waveforms superimposed on the EEG
waveforms. The instrument performs averaging of the EEG waveforms using the
QRS waveforms as trigger.
When the ECG filter is turned on, if a large artifact with continuously varying
amplitude, such as body movement, EMG or respiration waveform, is
superimposed on the EEG waveforms, the ECG waveform (averaging result)
cannot be correctly measured. This may distort the EEG waveforms or the EEG
waveforms might not be displayed continuously.
When the EEG waveforms are not displayed continuously, click the Reset button
on the ECG filter dialog box to reset the ECG filter.
1. Select ECG Filter from the View menu. The ECG Filter dialog box opens.
2. Click the Trigger Channel text box arrow to select the ECG trigger channel.

Photic Stimulation
Photic stimulation is performed from low frequency to about 30 Hz at 2 Hz or
3 Hz intervals. There are two ways to perform photic stimulation:
• With a rest time between stimulation periods
• Continuous stimulation by changing frequency
The instrument provides two photic stimulation modes: automatic and manual.
In automatic mode, the frequency, stimulation time and pause time for each
step are preset and stimulation is completely automatic. Refer to “Programming
Automatic Photic Stimulation Modes” in Section 5. In manual mode, you can

When ECG waveforms are superimposed on the EEG waveforms, use the ECG
filter to reduce the ECG waveform on each EEG channel. This filter works in the
following way to subtract the ECG components from the EEG waveforms.
1. The time point when the ECG waveforms exceed the trigger level of the
trigger channel is used as an averaging trigger.
2. The part of the EEG waveforms synchronized with the trigger is averaged in
each channel.
3. The averaged waveform is subtracted from the next trigger point of the EEG
waveform in the averaging period in each channel.
Trigger level
The ECG filter detects the ECG waveforms superimposed on the EEG
waveforms. The instrument performs averaging of the EEG waveforms using the
QRS waveform as trigger.
When the ECG filter is turned on, if a large artifact with continuously varying
amplitude, such as body movement, EMG or respiration waveform, is
superimposed on the EEG waveforms, the ECG waveform (averaging result)
cannot be correctly measured. This may distort the EEG waveforms or the EEG
waveforms might not be displayed continuously.
When the EEG waveforms are not displayed continuously, click the Reset button
on the ECG Filter dialog box to reset the ECG filter.
1. Select ECG Filter from the View menu. The ECG Filter dialog box opens.

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
* Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile

radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the EEG-1200 is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the EEG-1200 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the EEG-1200.
*2 Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than for all other functions.

radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be 12
considered. If the measured field strength outside the shielded location in which the JE-921A that is connected to
the EEG-1200 is used exceeds 3 V/m, observe the JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1200 to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as relocating the JE-921A
that is connected to the EEG-1200 or using the shielded location with a higher RF shielding effectiveness and filter
attenuation.
NOTE
The JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1200 should be used in a shielded location with an RF filter
attenuation of 31 dB over the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. If the JE-921A that is connected to the
EEG‑1200 is used outside shielded location, use it in a location where the measured field strength is less than
0.3 V/m. To measure shielding effectiveness, consult a service engineer.
