Amplifier System - reliable, state-of-the-art

Grass Technologies amplifiers are world-renowned in the field of neurophysiology for their quality, reliability, simplicity, and serviceability. At the heart of the Comet EEG-PLUS is the AS40-PLUS Amplifier System. The amplifier system is designed specifically for the EEG and PSG monitoring lab and combines the latest digital design techniques with years of amplifier design and manufacturing experience.

The AS40-PLUS is a compact 57-channel amplifier unit. There are 40 AC channels and 4 DC channels built into the system. An optional 8-channel DC input module, patient event button, and optional pulse oximeter allow for an additional 13 channels of data. This flexibility allows for wide range of physiological parameters to be monitored and recorded.

The amplifier system provides for patient safety isolation, signal conditioning (physiological signal amplification and filtering), and digitization. Communications with a host computer are accomplished using TCP/IP protocol over a 10BaseT Ethernet network or dedicated cable. A host computer, using TWin software, sets the sample rate, starts and stops the data transmission, monitors the digital data, and stores it to hard disk.

An intuitive user interface with LCD screen is present with the amplifier. From the amplifier itself, a user is able to implement such features as electrode impedance checking, amplifier calibration, and photic stimulator control. Also from the LCD display a user is able to obtain information such as connection status to the host computer, and oximetry/pulse rate information when an oximeter is in use.

Personality Modules*
The flexible design of the amplifier allows different Personality Modules to be used. The UPM-PLUS Universal Personality Module is supplied with the amplifier in Comet EEG-PLUS systems.

The UPM-PLUS has 32 referential EEG inputs, 1 reference input, 1 patient ground and 8 bipolar AC channels for a total of 40 channels.The Personality Module's design allows for an easy disconnect/reconnect to the amplifier system. An optional SPM-PLUS, Sleep Personality Module, is also available.
