Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I adjust the filtering options on the OB-1000 EEG Machine?

A: You can enable HPF and LPF options by checking the blue box and selecting parameters as needed.

Q: Can I record the waveform before filtering on the OB-1000?

A: Yes, you can choose not to apply filtering before recording the waveform.

Q: How many views can be selected simultaneously in the Auxiliary View?

A: You can select up to four views simultaneously but cannot repeatedly select the same view.

Equipment Operation

• HPF: allows frequencies higher than a certain cutoff to pass through, greatly attenuating lower frequencies. Checking the blue box indicates that this filtering option is enabled and parameters can be selected, as shown in Figure 5.3.2.4-27.

Event-triggered

1. Tag software events:
   • Operate in online mode.
   • After starting the collection, click the “Start Record” button, and the software event list at the bottom of the collection window will become clickable. At this time, software events can be marked.
   • Clicking once is the start time of the software event, and the label is displayed in blue as shown in Figure 5.3.2.4-49; Click again to indicate the end time of the event, which will be recorded in the file.
   • Note: If certain events are not marked with an end time when clicking “Stop Record” or closing the recording window directly, the default is “Stop Record” or the time when the recording window is closed is the end time of the event.
2. Tag hardware events:
   • Both online and offline modes can be operated.
   • After starting the collection, click any button on the event button module to mark the hardware event. The start time of a hardware event is the time when a button is pressed, and the end time is the time when the button is released.
   • Note: Since offline information only stores the most basic hardware events, the OYMEEG List is used by default.

Offline mode

• Offline mode: During the collection process, it is automatically recorded and stored in the MicroSD card, which means playing back the recording process.
• In this mode, the device defaults to recording the “Record Settings” information from the previous online mode.
• If you need to adjust the “Record Settings” information, you need to adjust the collection settings information in online mode in advance and click “Preview” on the collection interface to avoid invalid settings.
• The offline mode is set by the user to operate the amplifier, and the specific steps are as follows:

1. Ensure that there is already a MicroSD card in the device, complete the “Record Settings” in online mode, and click “Preview” on the collection interface;
2. Start collection – Long press and hold the offline data collection and storage button until the MicroSD card storage and transmission indicator lights are constantly on;
3. Stop Collection – Press and hold the offline data collection and storage button, and the data transmission indicator light will turn off;
4. After removing the MicroSD card and opening OBS-1000 to import offline data, the record can be viewed in the playback window.

Caution

MicroSD cards do not support midway removal. Please ensure that the MicroSD card is successfully installed before turning on.

Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance

Equipment management personnel must regularly maintain the components of the electroencephalogram machine.

Regular maintenance

1. Regularly (it is recommended to use a clean, soft, and slightly damp cloth every week or if necessary) to wipe away the plastic dust on the amplifier and cable.
2. Maintain the computer according to the relevant instructions in its manufacturer’s user manual.
3. When the battery level is low, please replace the battery and charge it promptly. For specific disassembly and assembly of batteries, please refer to 4.5.3 Equipment Installation.

Caution

• The maintenance of this equipment must be carried out by experienced professionals.
• Before cleaning and maintenance, please confirm that the equipment has been disconnected from the power supply.
• All components and accessories of this equipment must undergo regular maintenance and repair (at least once every six months).
• The components of this device do not require regular replacement during their useful life.
• It is recommended to check the cables and connectors on the wireless EEG electrode (EEG cap) every day to confirm if there are any signs of wear. If so, please contact OYMotion Technology or a dealer for repair.
• It is prohibited to wipe the amplifier with a damp cloth to prevent electric shock and damage to the equipment.

Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization

• The OB-1000 Electroencephalogram Machine is a nonsterile product that only cleans the surface of its components. If there is pollution, it should be cleaned first and then disinfected promptly.
• To avoid long-term damage to the product, we recommend disinfecting only when necessary.

The specific cleaning method is as follows:

1. Non-invasive EEG electrode (EEG cap)
   • a. After completing the EEG detection, remove the non-invasive EEG electrode (electrode cap) from the subject’s head and soak it in warm water for 30 minutes.
   • After the conductive paste dissolves, use the included electrode cleaning brush to wash the remaining small amount of conductive paste on the electrode head.
   • b. Hang the cleaned non-invasive EEG electrode (EEG cap) in a ventilated area and dry it in the shade.
2. Other equipment components
   • Use a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe and remove dust from components other than non-invasive EEG electrodes (EEG caps), such as amplifiers, computers, cables, event button modules (if any), etc.

The specific disinfection method is as follows:

1. Noninvasive EEG electrode (EEG cap)
2. Disinfectant selection:

  *  **A**. It is recommended to use quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants (such as benzalkonium bromide disinfectant, with a benzalkonium bromide content of 4.5% to 5.5%)
  * After diluting the electrode cap in a 1:14 ratio of liquid to water, soak the cleaned electrode cap in this diluted solution for 10 minutes for effective disinfection.
  *  **B.** It is recommended to use 84 disinfectants (with an effective content of 4.5% to 5.5%), diluted in a ratio of 1:500 between the original solution and water,
  * Soak the cleaned electrode cap in this diluted solution for 30 minutes for effective disinfection.
2. Rinse the disinfected and soaked EEG electrode cap with clean water 2-3 times.
3. Hang the rinsed EEG electrode cap in a ventilated area and dry it in the shade for later use.

2. Other equipment components
   • It is recommended that users soak a clean dry gauze in 70% (volume ratio) isopropanol disinfectant, and then use this gauze to wipe the surface of the part that needs to be disinfected twice for 3 minutes.
   • Use a clean and dry cloth to wipe off the residual disinfectant.

Caution

• Be sure to turn off all system power before cleaning, otherwise it may cause a risk of electric shock or abnormal system function.
• Do not use volatile liquids such as diluents or gasoline, as these substances can cause the equipment to melt or crack.
• Avoid touching the connector end with water and disinfectant during cleaning.
• The non-invasive EEG electrode (electrode cap) soaked in disinfectant must be thoroughly rinsed with water.
• Improper or frequent disinfection can shorten the service life of the product.
• After cleaning, the electrode cap should be placed in a cool and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight. The equipment components should be completely dried before being packed into the packaging box.
