restoration of power.
The EEG32U amplifier is designed to work with an XLTEK computer system running XLTEK Database (XLDB) and NeuroWorks
software.
Placement of the Operator and Patient
It is expected that the operator of the system will stand or sit in front of the computer, but not continuously. The patient is
typically lying in a bed located beside the system cart or amplifier and is in no way supported by the equipment.
At no point should the system be leaned against or rested upon. Refer to the Transport System Specifications and Maintenance
section for placement, details, and cautions for the different cart transportation options.
Refer to the corresponding Instructions for Use for all system components prior to use. This should include, but is not limited to
cameras, computers, stimulators, and software.
Beginning a study
Once the equipment has been installed by the Natus qualified representative and a patient has been connected to the EEG32U
amplifier system, a new EEG study can be started. For details on beginning a new EEG study, consult the NeuroWorks manual
directly.

1. Close any active studies in the NeuroWorks software.
2. Shut the computer down; ensuring to follow the proper shut down procedure.
