Comet-PLUS XL is a complete
PSG system designed to satisfy the needs of the physician's office, hospital,
or medical center. Ready to use, Comet-PLUS XL is supplied with the latest
high performance PC. Select from various mobile carts, cabinets and monitor sizes to suit your
individual needs.
These powerful, easy-to-use
sleep diagnostic systems consist of the high response 57-channel AS40-PLUS Amplifier System,
a quick-disconnect headbox with electrode inputs designed especially for PSG, TWin PSG Record and Review Software, and powerful
Panorama digital video. These
flexible systems upgrade easily to also record EEG-type studies. Grass's FASS
Fully-Automated Sleep Stager software and a wide selection of supplies and accessories are
also available.

Grass Technologies
amplifiers are world-renowned in the field of neurophysiology for
their quality, reliability, simplicity, and serviceability. At the
heart of the Comet PSG-PLUS is the AS40-PLUS Amplifier System. The
amplifier is designed specifically for the PSG and EEG monitoring
lab and combines the latest digital design techniques with years
of amplifier design and manufacturing experience.
The AS40-PLUS is a compact amplifier unit which includes 30 AC channels with the SPM-PLUS sleep personality module, 4 built-in auxiliary DC channels, and 4 channels from the built-in pulse oximeter. The optional UPM-PLUS (40-channel) universal personality module, DCM8 8-input auxiliary DC input module, and Patient Event Button can be added to the system for a total of 57 channels. 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 small, lightweight Personality Modules are tethered with a Quick Disconnect
feature. The SPM-PLUS Sleep Personality Module is supplied with
the amplifier in Comet-PLUS PSG systems.
The SPM-PLUS
provides 30 AC channels and can be worn by the patient or conveniently
placed bedside. The compact headbox is especially useful with the
Comet-PLUS PSG system which includes all the latest features for AASM
requirements. The powerful bedside amplifier and fully-featured
TWin software make Comet-PLUS the leading choice of sleep professionals.
An optional
UPM-PLUS, Universal Personality Module, is also available for extended
sleep studies. The UPM-PLUS offers a combination of referential
and bipolar inputs for a total of 40 AC channels.
