11-2 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA VF8
11 EEG M
ONITORING
Overview
When used with the EEG pod, the monitor measures up to four EEG signals. Each
EEG waveform has its own parameter box, and each parameter box displays up to
three selectable parameters. EEG parameters can be trended, printed, and displayed on
a central station.
Each EEG lead is a differential measurement between two electrodes (positive and
negative). For example, a lead label of Fp-Cz means the positive electrode is at the Fp
site and the negative electrode is at the Cz site.
Precautions
The following precautions apply to EEG monitoring during electrosurgery:
 Place EEG electrodes above the mastoid bone.
 Do not perform electrosurgery above the mastoid bone.
NOTE:
 “EEG pod H/W Failure” message appears if the EEG pod software and the
monitor software are not compatible.
 The EEG pod is intended for use with surface electrodes only.
 The Test Pulse feature on the Biomed menu (see chapter 2) allows your
hospital’s technical personnel or DrägerService to confirm the accuracy of EEG
signals.
NOTE:
 EEG parameters do not alarm.
 EEG channel 1 is required for EEG monitoring to occur.
