OSET Guidelines

Question | Answer |
---|---|
OSET: Digital Recording - Vertical Resolution: | 12 or 16 bits to avoid blocking paroxysmal activity. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Horizontal Resolution: | 3x the highest frequency is recommended... or at least 2x (256-400) is preferred. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Disk Space: | 256 x1 gigibite hard drive storage. Also a sampling rate of 200 Hz. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Screen: | 17" 100 pixels per second, 2 pixels per mm and 1280 x 1024 resolution. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Sampling Rate: | 200 Hz (Nyquist Criteria) |
OSET: Digital Recording - Channel Minimum: | 25, preferably 32. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Filters (Allows for re-filtering later): | 0.1-100. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Sensitivity: | 1-200. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Paper Printout: | The standard horizontal scaling should present one second as occupying between 25 and 35 millimeters with a minimum resolution of 200 data points per second. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Standard Paper Speed: | 30mm/sec, which means every 30mm of paper is equal to 1 second. 1 large section on a page, 5 smaller sections. 15 and 60 are also used at times. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Amplifiers: | 2 reference inputs are needed. One for system reference at input 2 and one to prevent data loss. 25 electrodes total; 21 scalp, ground, system reference, and 2 extra are requited. 9 additional to equal 32 is recommended. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Amplitude (So the amplifiers will not saturate but will allow the full range of activity): | A recording dynamic range of ±2 mV is recommended. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Calibration: | A standard microvolt input is applied to each amplifier. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Pt Information: | DOS, DOB, place of test, last sz, state of behavior, meds, relevant medical hx. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Annotations & Comments: | A digital system should have a capacity for over 30 programmed comments, & free text comments. Ability to insert comments after recording should also be a part of the system. Date, time of day, and elapsed time should be indicated on every screen. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Activation Procedures: | Should provide for HV and post HV comments, as well as a timer. Manual and programmable PS protocols should be included with the system along with a strobe indicator on the recording. Available stimulation frequencies should range from 0.5 to 30 Hz. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Online Record Review | Digital system should include the ability to review earlier section while on real-time acquisition. Allows the tech opportunity to review paroxysmal events and change the display montage and filter settings while continuing to acquire data. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Simultaneous Display | The ability to simultaneously compare two segments from within the same recording or different recording is desirable. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Views as Recorded | Allows playback of the EEG recording with the same montages, filter settings, and sensitivity settings that were used by the technologist during the original recording. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Equipment Maintenance | Digital have the same routine inspection as analog equipment. Includes ground leakage checks, cord resistance measurements, and thorough cleanings, routine computer maintenance including re-seating of all connections, and a disk integrity check. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Storage/Retrieval | All files must be transferred off the recording instrument and saved onto an external disk. Compressed data is desirable because three times the number of studies can be stored. A LAN between the recording and reading station is recommended. |
OSET: Digital Recording - Universal Data Interpretation | Provides opportunity to exchange data between systems of different manufacturers. It is a desirable feature especially between dissimilar systems or even different locations. This is currently difficult with some systems due to differences in software. |
