OLYMPIC BRAINZ MONITOR –QUICK START
Set up the device at the bedside and connect power
Turn ON using the BLUE BUTTON on the front bottom right side of monitor and wait for system to
power up to the main display
Hang the Data Acquisition box from the basket or handle on incubator / warmer
Prepare for Electrode Application –you will need the following:
•2 subdermal needle electrodes
•1 hydrogel electrode (for ground)
•Electrode positioning aid and Skin Marker
•Alcohol swabs for skin cleaning
•Tape to secure electrodes
•Comb/toothbrush to part the hair if needed
•NuPrep and gauze for cleaning ground electrode site
Measure the infants head keeping the positioning aid vertical and parallel
to the face. Align it so that the letter at the ear tragus is the same as the
letter at the sagittal suture. The forward edge of the positioning aid should
touch the tragus. Mark the two sensor sites, one on each side of the
positioning aid, at the end of the arrows (P3/P4 position)
•Clean electrode site with alcohol swab and insert the needle
electrode sub dermally.
•Place one electrode at a time and secure
•For ground electrode, select a site with minimal hair on shoulder, neck or behind the ear
•Clean site with NuPrep, remove NuPrep with damp gauze and firmly place electrode
Use the head graphic to connect the sensors into the appropriate
receptacles on the data acquisition box. The left posterior sensor goes into
P3, the right posterior sensor goes into P4 and the ground sensor plugs into
the COMMON receptacle in the middle

Next, Select the RECORD icon on the Monitor interface at the
bottom right hand corner.
An onscreen keyboard will pop-up for Patient Record ID, Last Name,
and First Name. Type the patient information in the appropriate
field. Touch NEXT to proceed to the electrode configuration screen
On the next screen Select the 3 lead cross channel electrode
configuration.
And Press START RECORDING to begin the study.
The device will run a DAB selftest
It is important at this point now to check the signal quality as Good signal quality is required
for accurate monitoring of brain activity
Signal Icon – GREEN means GOOD signal quality,
indicating all electrodes are below 10 kΩ and
electrode contact is good.
Signal Icon – YELLOW means marginal signal
quality and electrode contact and one or more
electrodes is above 10 kΩ, yet below a 20 kΩ
threshold
Signal Icon – RED means poor signal quality and
an electrode has exceeded 20 kΩ,
Always refer to the head graphic icons in the
Impedance view
The following ICONs are important to note for operation of the Monitor:
RECORD ICON to Start, Pause or Stop a recording
REVIEW MODE /LIVE MONITORING MODE –indicated by yellow or green
symbols in top left corner
LIVE PLAYBACK BUTTON if in review mode and wish to re-initiate the live recording
Screen symbols in top left corner
EEG view –when active will display the raw EEG at bottom section of screen
Screen symbols in top left corner
IMPEDENCE view –when active, will display impedance at bottom section of screen
screen Screen symbols in top left corner

To END the recording:
To close the session and end the recording, touch PATIENT and touch the CLOSE tab on the
left side of the dialog box. Select CLOSE SESSION to end and save the recording
To POWER OFF:
Touch the POWER Icon in the top left of the screen
Confirm Shutdown.
The system powers down within 15-20 seconds.
DO NOT power down by pressing the Blue power button on the front of the monitor
MARKERS button in the Main taskbar–to add a specific time stamped marker to the
trace
HOME button –if you get to a screen that is not familiar to you –touch the HOME Icon to
return to the main screen.
SCORING VIEW to display the RecogniZe Seizure detection Software and
Background Pattern Classification software tracks
MARKER MODE Activation –indicates whether marker tracks are active or inactive
