2.3 System Functions
NeurOne System is a monitoring solution for neuroscience measurements. It is
developed for the needs of medical professionals and scientists to detect high
accuracy neurological signals from multiple channels simultaneously without
compromising data integrity. §
System consists of NeurOne Main unit (NeurOne Black) and up to 4 Tesla amplifiers
which are used to collect polygraphic biosignals (EEG, ECG and EMG etc.). One Tesla
amplifier can measure up to 32 unipolar and 8 bipolar channels. Complete NeurOne
system with 4 Tesla amplifiers can measure 160 channels. NeurOne system includes
NeurOne PC operating software which must be installed on the PC. EEG caps, ECG
and EMG electrodes are used as the sensors.
NeurOne PC-software has tools to control all measurement related functionality
commanding NeurOne Main unit through an Ethernet connection. The Main unit
controls the Tesla amplifiers and consolidates incoming data from the amplifiers to a
common data stream that’s sent to the PC. Incoming event triggers are fused to data
stream in the Main unit. Audio output from defined sources takes place in Main unit.
Tesla amplifiers are connected to the NeurOne Main unit via an optic link.
Synchronized measurement takes place in Tesla amplifiers: data acquisition, filtering
and down sampling.
NeurOne PC stores the measured data and provides viewing tools and possibilities to
export data to be used in other applications.
2.4 Usability
The Operator profile for this device is: Healthcare professionals / EEG researcher with
up to date basic computer skills.
The operating principle of the device is designed to keep the operator profile in mind. If
the user is not familiar with EEG measurements, patient isolation principles or result
interpretations it is recommended to have knowledge of this area prior use of this
device.
The device operation does not require repeatable maneuvers which could have
ergonomic influences.
When the system is used with computer and its accessories, please read the computer
manufacturers ergonomic guidelines. It is computer manufacturer’s responsibility to
provide guidelines for proper workstation setup, posture, and health and work habits for
computer users.

2.5 Maintenance and Service
Please follow the maintenance and calibration instructions. You should inspect the
system devices and cables regularly. If there is visible damage, it is best to have it
repaired at your local distributor or Bittium Biosignals Ltd.
2.5.1 Cleaning
You can clean the device using a non-fluffing cloth dampened in cleaning fluid, such as
water and mild hand soap solution. For accessories, like EEG cap, follow the
instructions provided with the accessory.
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning. Be careful not to rub too
forcefully. Do not use alcohol based fluids or corrosive chemicals! Do
not sink the device or cables into the cleaning fluid!
2.5.2 Calibration
The equipment is calibrated at the factory and it does not require regular calibration.
Do not try to open the device, the Power Supply, the cables or other
sealed parts of the system. Only technical personnel, authorized by
Bittium Biosignals Ltd, are allowed to open these parts, subject to the
instructions given by Bittium Biosignals.
2.6 Disposal and Environmental Issues
The packaging material is cardboard. It can be re-cycled according to local regulations.
When the device is not used, consider disconnecting it from the mains current. Note
also that when the device is used according to instructions the service need for the
device is minimized and the life time of the device is optimized.
Please follow your local environment safety regulations when disposing of the system,
or any parts of it. In many countries the electronics re-cycling is possible or even
obligatory.
For EU only: This symbol indicates that this device shall be disposed according
to European Union directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). If the device is contaminated the directive does not apply.

If you are upgrading to NeurOne PC Software v.1.5.x from NeurOne PC Software
version older than 1.4.1.55 you must first install NeurOne 1.4.1.64 and manually back
