7.5.2 PIM ACTIVE ELECTRODES PREAMPLIFIER
The Active Electrodes Preamplifier (AEP), PN SPM608 / 945SPM608, allows the use of proprietary, “No
Prep” triple contact surface electrodes. The electrodes can be applied to the patient without special skin
preparation and yet provide high quality recording.
The AEP interfaces to the PIM via a 4 ft cable and connects to the Active Electrodes Input connector.
When properly connected, the AEP power on indicator will be illuminated. Eight pods are color-coded
and marked with channel numbers.
Snap all three contacts of the triple electrode into each of the eight AEP pod receptacles. Remove the
plastic backing to expose the electrodes and then apply to the patient. Apply the electrodes such that the
two top electrodes are parallel to the muscle belly.
If the test protocol uses fewer than eight channels, unused pods may be left open and unconnected.
Note: Refer to the Active Electrode instructions for more details.
7.5.2.1
LARYNGEAL ELECTRODE ADAPTER
The Laryngeal Electrode Adapter PN LEA300 / 945LEA300 is used with the Active Electrodes Preamplifier
to allow connection to laryngeal electrode leads when laryngeal monitoring is used in the procedure. One
or two channels of laryngeal monitoring can be accommodated. The LEA300 / 945LEA300 Adapter has a
color-coded label to allow left and right channel to be differentiated.
Following the monitoring test protocol, snap the LEA300 / 945LEA300 Adapter into the appropriate
channel(s) of the Active Electrode Preamplifier pods. Connect the leads of the color-coded Adapter to the
corresponding leads of the laryngeal electrodes.
