• The electric wiring of the building must be designed according to the standards
and perfectly working.
• Parts of the equipment that can be replaced by the user and accessories must be
replaced with items of the same kind and with the same characteristics.
• The connection of the equipment with peripherals or other instruments supplied

by the mains must be performed according to the EN 60601-1-1 standards
(standards for Electro-medical systems) and to the EN 60601-1-2 standards
(standards for electromagnetic compatibility).
• Usage and maintenance of the equipment and of its accessories must be

performed in compliance with the instructions described in this Manual.
• This Manual must be kept complete and readable in every part.

1.3 USAGE RESTRICTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In order to guarantee the patient’s and the user’s safety as well as a correct
working of the equipment, it is necessary to operate within the consented
restrictions and adopt all the precautions listed below:
ATTENTION
Prior to usage, verify that all the safety requirements are satisfied.
The equipment must not be supplied by or connected to other instruments until
such safety conditions are restored.
WARNING
It is strongly recommended to check the overall functionality of the system before
starting any recording.
In case any anomalies or malfunctioning should be noticed, immediately
disconnect the patient from the system (if a patient is already connected), switch
off the system and ask for service to qualified personnel.
In particular (for example) if, with a patient connected to the system, some “flat”
tracing should be noticed on the monitor during recording : in this case if the
problem should not be easily solved (poor electrode connection, broken lead etc)
immediately acts as above, disconnect the patient, do not se the system and ask
for servicing.
WARNING
During “long term recording” (more than one hour) it is strongly recommended to
periodically check that all the system works regularly without any sign of
malfunctioning.
If any anomalies or flat traces should be noted act as in the previous warning.
In particular any electrode site used for long term must be checked for irritation
and redness. Check each electrode periodically to evaluate the skin condition
under the electrode. Redness, blistering and permanent skin scarring can occur if
electrode are not regularly monitored.
1.3.1 ELECTRIC SAFETY
Leakage current
The maximum patient leakage current from the equipment, measured according to
the IEC 601-1 standard (for Class I Type CF) is less than 10 μA.
However take care when using the equipment at the same time with other
instruments. In the event the patient is connected to several instruments at the
same time, it is necessary to remember that the sum of the dispersion currents
determined by each instrument may exceeds this value.

Patient Connection
All patient connections to the equipment are trough the device using the input
sockets provided, or trough the dedicated connector for pre-wired headset. Any
patient electrodes connected to the device by any other means constitutes an
unsafe condition that could result in injury or death to the patient.
ATTENTION
All connections on the headbox are isolated from AC power ground.
Do NOT join these connections to earth ground or AC power ground since such an
action constitute an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or
accidental death to the patient.
ATTENTION
The electrode and sensor through which the signal is captured from the body of
the patient are not part of the amplifier system, in any case it is MANDATORY to
use only electrode or sensor approved for commercial use by FDA (USA) or CE
marked (93/42EEC directive)
To ensure the safety of the patient and the operator, please follow all the warnings
and caution listed in this manual.
Connect to the equipment the proper specified power supply only. In order
to guarantee the electrical safety requirements, the equipment must be by
means the proper medical AC/DC adapter only. The power supply is supplied
by EBNeuro with the equipment
• Take care when using the equipment at the same time with other
instruments. In the event the patient is connected to several instruments at the
same time, it is necessary to remember that the sum of the dispersion currents
determined by each instrument may endanger his life.
• Take care when using the equipment at the same time with other radio-
frequency instruments. In the event the equipment is used in a surgery room
at the same time with a radio knife (Radio-Frequency instrument = RF), it is
necessary to hold the radio knife point as far as possible from the electrodes, in
order to reduce as much as possible the risk of RF currents making on such
electrodes and the consequent burns. Therefore it is necessary to use electrodes
with a larger surface contacting the patient body, in order to limit the RF
current density to acceptable values. In case it is not possible to use the proper
electrodes, it is recommended to disconnect the patient from the equipment
before using radio-frequency instruments.

• The equipment is not protected against the defibrillator discharges. Please

remember that the equipment is not protected against the defibrillator
discharges; for this reason, in the event it should be necessary to use the
defibrillator, it is necessary to disconnect the patient from the equipment in
order to avoid the patient being burned in the electrode contact areas and the
equipment undergoing sever and irreversible damages.
• Avoid contact of patient and electrodes with conductive metal items. When
the equipment is connected to other instruments supplied by the mains, the
whole input circuit to which the patient is connected is electrically isolated
(floating isolation). It is necessary to avoid the patient and any conductive part
connected to the patient (electrodes, connectors, and transducers) coming into
contact with conductive parts (ground included). Please observe this precaution
to avoid compromising the equipment isolation level. This precaution must be
observed in order to avoid that accessible metal parts of the device get in touch
with external conductive parts thus damaging the isolation level of the
equipment.
• Do not connect additional Multiple Portable Socket-Outlet or extension

cord. Multiple portable socket-outlet or extension cord shall not be connected
to the system.
• Observe the EN 60601-1-1 and the EN 60601-1-2 standards in case of

connection with other instruments. The connection of the equipment with
other devices is allowed only when the safety requirements for the patient, the
user and the environment are not compromised. If the Manual does not contain
enough information about the possibility of interconnection with other devices,
the user should contact the manufacturer or the nearest authorized servicing
center to have information about the effects that coupling devices may have on
the patient, the user and the environment.
• Replace damaged parts immediately. Cables, connectors, accessories, or

other parts of the equipment must be replaced immediately when damaged or
not working correctly. In these cases, contact the nearest authorized servicing
center.
• Do not connect items (accessories and peripherals) which are not specified
as part of the system by EBNeuro. In order to guarantee all the safety
requirements, it is necessary to use only the accessories and peripherals
specified in this Manual as part of the system, which have been tested with the
equipment. The usage of accessories and consumer goods supplied by other
manufacturers or not specifically indicated by EBNeuro does not guarantee the
safety and the correct working of the equipment. Use only peripherals in
compliance with the standards of the class they belong to.

1.3.2 SAFETY OF THE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
• The equipment is not designed to be used in locations with inflammable

vapors or gases that may cause explosions. The equipment must not be used
in atmospheres with a high concentration of oxygen or in buildings where
inflammable substances or anesthetic agents are present. The atmosphere is
considered as oxygen-saturated when the oxygen or nitrous oxide (NO2)
concentration contained in the environment is over 24%.
• The equipment and its internal parts are not protected against the inflow
of liquids. Avoid submitting the equipment to the risk of water dripping,
sprinkling or immersion and using the equipment where such risks are present.
Devices in which liquids have accidentally penetrated must be immediately
cleaned and checked by authorized qualified staff.
• Use the equipment within the environmental limits of specified

temperature, humidity and pressure. The equipment is designed to work in
environmental conditions that, in compliance with the IEC 601-1 directions,
are defined as standard:
− Temperature +5°C / +40°C
− relative humidity 30% / 75% RH
− atmospheric pressure 700 / 1060 hPa
• Be careful using the equipment when it is moved between locations with

different temperatures to avoid any possible condensation phenomenon. If
the equipment is stored or kept in a cold place and is rapidly moved to be used
in a warmer building, condensation phenomena may occur (humidity or
misting over the internal or external surface of the equipment). In this case it is
necessary to wait for humidity to be completely evaporated before supplying
and using the equipment.
• Make sure the electric wiring of the building is efficient in case of

connection to other mains powered devices. When the equipment is
connected to peripherals or other mains powered devices, make sure that the
latter are connected only to mains outlets with protective grounding. This
protection is fundamental for the patient’s and the user’s safety: therefore, it is
necessary that the electric wiring of the building guarantees an efficient
protective grounding.
• Be careful using the equipment in locations disturbed by strong magnetic

fields. The equipment is compliant with the EMC requirements
(Electromagnetic Compatibility) according to what specified by the
89/336/EEC European Directive. In every case it is recommended to keep the
equipment away from disturbance sources and induced electromagnetic fields
surpassing the values prescribed by the standard in order to avoid any possible
instabilities and malfunctioning of the equipment

• Be careful using the equipment near short-wave or micro-wave devices. If

the equipment is used in an area where there are also therapeutic short-wave or
micro-wave devices, it is necessary to remember that these may cause
instability and interfere with the correct working of the equipment. Do not
place the equipment near X-ray or diathermy devices

1.3.3 SAFETY OF GALILEO_NT SOFTWARE
It is not allowed to install the GALILEO_NT software on any machine without

the prior written permission of EBNeuro.
WARNING
Keep the original CD-ROM of the GALILEO_NT software in a safe place.
WARNING
EBNeuro does not guarantee the compatibility of this software with packages of
other manufacturers and is not responsible for the consequence of any
incompatibility.
A “software virus” is a form of computer-based practical joke. It is a program

created to spread from a computer to another one without the user being of it.
Viruses are sometimes designed to be latent for a certain period after they have
been introduced. Once they become active they can appear as harmless sudden
humorous messages on the screen or as a catastrophic contamination and
complete destruction of all the programs contained in the hard disk.
Viruses generally spread by detecting when a floppy disk is being used, and
including a hidden copy of themself on it. When that disk is used on another
system, the latter will be infected as well. Best protection against all kind of
viruses is prevention.
You must be very careful if you want to add more software packages to
GALILEO_NT on the system hard disk. Make sure that such packages are
accompanied by the licence of their software houses. Do not use diskettes of
uncertain or unknown origin.
In the case the system begins to function incorrectly and strangely, immediately
isolate it together with all the other computers usually connected to it for data
exchange.
In this case it is necessary to have the system checked by qualified technical staff
in order to establish whether it is really infected by a virus or if its malfunctioning
is due to different causes (for ex the hardware is damaged).
WARNING
EBNeuro guarantees that the original copies of the GALILEO_NT software supplied
with the system and every successive software upgrade are virus-free.
EBNeuro is not responsible for the consequences of any third party virus
introduction.

1.10 INFORMATION ABOUT RECYCLING OF MATERIALS

In accordance with the specific European directives, EBNeuro aims to
continuously improve the design and the fitting of electromedical devices in order
to reduce as much as possible any negative impact on the environment caused by
the management of component parts, consumer materials, packaging and
discharge of devices when at their “end of life”.
Packaging materials were conceived and produced so as to allow the re-usage and
the salvage, including recycling, of most part of materials and to reduce the
quantity of garbage or residual products for discharge as much as possible. In
particular, packaging materials have been produced so as to limit the presence of
harmful metals and of other dangerous substances to minimum quantities in
emissions, ashes or lixiviation residual products. The total concentration levels of
heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and hexavalent Chrome contained
in the packaging materials are in accordance with the limits established by the
directives in force related to this subject.
In order to cause minimum consequences to the environment, the design of the

device includes the highest possible miniaturization of the circuits, with the least
possible differentiation of materials and components, with a selection of
substances that guarantee the highest possibility to recycle and re-use the
components and to discharge them without risks for the environment.
The device is designed to guarantee the easy separation or disassembling of the

materials containing polluting substances from the others, in particular during the
operations of servicing and replacing parts. In particular, the largest plastic
components are marked according to their plastic contents in order to make it
easier to recycle the product.
ATTENTION
Please refer to local codes and laws for proper disposal/recycle requirements of
packaging and consumer materials and of the device when at its “end of life”.

Measures to be taken
Note 1: The foor should be in antistatic material (wood, ceramic, ect.). If covered by
syntetic material, relative humidity should be maintained at least at 30%
Note 2: The quality of the electrical power supply and the mains frequency magnetic
fields should be typical of domestic, commercial and hospital environments.
Note 3: If the operator has to work without a break while power supply is interrupted, it
is necessary to have power supplied through a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) unit.
Note 4: Mobile or portable radio frequency (RF) communication appliance should be
used at longer distances than those indicated on the following Table 3.
Electromagnetic transient can happens near appliances bearing the symbol shown below

1.11.1 RECOMMENDED DISTANCES FROM RADIOFREQUENCY (RF)

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
As stated in this chapter 1 “Information about safety” of device operator manual,

it is recommended to not use Radiofrequency (RF) transmission system near the
medical device. RF systems can cause interference which may cause instability
and interfere with the correct working of the medical device and it may alters the
signal acquired tracings.
The operator can prevent interference caused by electromagnetic field by

maintaining a minimum distance between the medical device and the RF
communication system being used (cell phones, mobile phones, etc,).
The following table shows the minimum distances in meters, according to the
maximum power at RF system output.
Table 3 – Recommended separation distances from RF sources

Mobile radio (rescue, police, fire) 100 30
For transmitters the maximum output power of which is not within the values range in
the table, the recommended minimum distance can be estimated by analyzing the
equation in the table applicable to the transmitter frequency:
For transmitters using frequencies range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz and from 80 MHz
to 800 MHz, the distance can be estimated using the equation:
d = 1.2√P
For transmitters using frequencies range from 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz, the distance can be
estimated using the equation:
d = 2.3√P
where P is the rated power of the transmitter in Watt (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer specifications.
Note: As a precaution, always apply the greater distance supplied by the table.
Note: Electromagnetic fields are subjected to absorption and reflection in the presence of
structures, objects and people. The values in the table are general guidelines.

The operator must remember that the intensity of the electromagnetic fields
generated by fixed transmitters (radio-base stations for cellular or cordless phone,
TV and radio transmissions, amateur radio transmission, etc.) cannot be
predicated on theoretical basis.
Consequently, a direct measure may be necessary in the used environment of

medical device.
If the intensity of the electromagnetic fields exceeds that specified in the

immunity levels shown in the previous tables, and the medical device behaves
incorrectly working, additional measures may be necessary. I.e. orienting or
locating the medical device in a different way.

1.12 BIOCOMPATIBILITY AND INFECTIONS CONTROL

The system components (and the recommended disposable materials) coming into
contact with the patient comply with the European requirements related to this
subject.
Since it is supposed that the reusable electrodes are used on the intact skin, the
risk for infection propagation is very low. It will be sufficient to follow the
disinfecting and sterilization procedures described in the manual.
We remind that the disposable electrodes provided with the instrument are to be
used exclusively on intact skin.
ATTENTION
The residual products of every exam (disposable electrodes, gel or paste residues,
etc.) must be considered as potentially infected and therefore treated as special
waste. Please refer to local codes for proper disposal of such materials.

CHAPTER 2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 GALILEO BE_LIGHT SYSTEM

The GALILEO BE_LIGHT “digital electroencephalograph” realise the new
EBNeuro DIGITAL EEG/EP line.
GALILEO BE_LIGHT can be defined as "the universal recorder" because of its

ability to acquire any neurophisiological signal. The extremely large bandwidth of
the BE_LIGHT Amplifier (DC to 20 KHz) together with it’s multifrequency
feature, allows the hardware to manage EEG (and digital Video EEG), as well as
other physiological signals such as Polygraphy, Evoked Potentials (EP) on all
channels while in multimodal monitoring.
The good compromise between number of channels (28 channels standard) and
the very small overall dimension, together with the high quality of the signal (low
noise, high sensitivity, large dynamic and optimal CMRR) makes the BE_LIGHT
the ideal tool for both the researcher and the clinical neurophysiologist.
Cognitive Potentials from P300 to the CNV (using virtually any stimulation
protocol) can be recorded, thus allowing for topographic mapping and source
localisation techniques to be used. The high-resolution BE_LIGHT recordings are
invaluable in the neurosurgery, both for high-resolution EEG and Cortical EEG
recording protocols.
The fiber optic communications cable allows the acquisition module (BE_LIGHT
patient input box) to be located up to 500 meters from the control room where the
main system resides. This provides an ideal solution for long-term Video EEG
and Sleep recordings.
In order to allow the user to control the acquisition module remotely, BE_LIGHT
includes a built-in ohmeter display that (through a LED matrix and a control key)
allows the user to check electrode impedance.
All this without the need to walk back and forth from the patient to the monitoring
room!
General description 2-1

2.2 MIZAR-LIGHT SYSTEM

MIZAR-LIGHT is a console-like digital electroencephalograph with a standard
number of 28 channels, which can autonomously work both as a single stand
alone station and connected to the network with other GALILEO stations.
In addition to the sophisticated functions of acquisition, display and analysis, the

MIZAR-LIGHT system is provided with important auxiliary functions, such as
the Evoked Potentials, the Video EEG, Sleep Analysis, Spectral Analysis and
Amplitude Brain Mapping.
The acquired tracings can be saved on the system hard disk or on a removable
hard disk cartridge (WORM or M.O. rewritable). The acquired tracings can be
directly transferred to the main archive via the installed network.
The MIZAR-LIGHT system offers all of the main characteristics of a digital

electroencephalograph including reformatting of montages, patient’s reports
management, entering of annotations on the tracing and fast pages reply, all
functions that can be defined by the user.
The MIZAR-LIGHT system represents a new stage for electroencephalography
by integrating the fundamental aspects of traditional methodologies with all the
advantages of digital technology.
MIZAR-LIGHT is a computer-based system for the acquisition and the digital re-
reading of electroencephalographic signals. The control of functionalities of the
MIZAR-LIGHT system is achieved in two levels:
The first one is represented by dedicated electronics devices created by EBNeuro,
that perform the acquisition and amplification of the signals and the stimulation
(for EP methodologies), the second one is represented by personal computer
which manage digital processing of the signal, the display and storing of acquired
tracings . The PC also manages the network, the peripherals and the archives and
above all performs all the post-processing of acquired signals and statistical
evaluation.
The MIZAR-LIGHT system carries out all performances of digital

electroencephalography. In particular:
• An ordered and compact archive, thanks to the storage on high capacity supports
and the computerised managing. The standard system is provided with a 10GB
hard disk, with possibility to insert optional high capacity supports such as
removable hard disk (a lot of GB) and drivers for magnetic-optical disk or DVD.
• Possibility to get the previously stored EEG signals in the analogic form to
perform elaboration jobs and analysis.
• Off-line reconstruction of montages (reformatting)
• Display on high resolution monitors with the limits of the Video Board of PC
only, with the possibility to change the number of traces, to enlarge a segment
and perform instrumental measures. The standard system is provided with 15”
LCD colour monitor, with the possibility to connect optional bigger monitors.
2-2 General description

• Usage of pen-less printers able to change the number and dimensions of the
tracings and to edit comments and diagrams.
• The system can be equipped with an optional built-in A4-format Thermal

Printer. The system can be also equipped with optional Laser printers or
DeskJet printers (B/W or colour) for the printout of patient’s reports, tracings
and brain maps.
• Network connection for the access to the archive of more than one station at
the same time. The system can be configured as a network server and as a
Client, or work disconnected from the network as a Stand Alone station.
The MIZAR-LIGHT system is composed by a PC in which is installed the

“GALILEO_NT” Digital EEG software , by the “BE_LIGHT” bioelectrical
signals acquisition and amplification module and by a trolley provided with

3.11.1.1 TREND OF THE SUPPLIED POWER IN RELATION TO THE LOAD
The electric stimulator can deliver, for a single pulse, a maximum peck current
IMAX = 100mA with a max Duty Cycle = 1%
From the following formula we learn that the RMS value of the maximum
deliverable current, independently of the load, is:
IMAXRMS = SQR [ (τ/T) x (IMAX)² ]
IMAXRMS = 10mA
The electric stimulator supplies a maximum peak power PMAX = 2.5W on a load of
2500Ω, on which it at the same time delivers VMAX = 250V and IMAX = 100mA.
The maximum RMS power is:
PMAXRMS = R x (IMAXRMS)²
PMAXRMS = 0.25W
The following diagram shows the trend of the RMS maximum power expressed in
W, depending on the load measured in KΩ for a single stimulation pulse
delivered.

• 2 sockets for common reference of 21 monopolar inputs with AC coupling.
• 1 socket for calibration signal.
Figure 5-7 – Patient input sockets

In the following two paragraphs the patient input sockets will be explained in
details for two EEG inputs configurations: the standard 10-20 system
configuration and the "mirror" configuration.
5.2.1.1 Standard 10-20 system configuration
EEG Monopolar Inputs : labelled with numbers ranging from “1” to “21” and
with the corresponding 10-20 system names, displayed on the cover of the BE
LIGHT acquisition module (see the following table of correspondence). These
inputs accept AC coupled signals only, directly coming from acquisition sites on
the patient.. The amplified signal is the difference of potential between each of the
electrodes and the “common reference” electrode for EEG signals (connected to a
NE socket).

21 O2
Polygraphic Monopolar Inputs : labelled with the numbers “22”, “23” and “24”.
These inputs accept AC or DC coupled signals, directly coming from acquisition
sites on the patient.. The amplified signal is the difference of potential between
each of the electrodes and the “separate reference” electrode for Polygraphic
signals (connected to the NEP socket).
Bipolar Inputs : labelled with the letters “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”. These inputs
accept signals directly coming from acquisition sites on the patient.. The
amplified signal is the difference of potential between the “+” and “-“ electrode
of each of the inputs.
EEG signals Common Reference : two paralleled sockets labelled “NE”

(Neutral Electrode). These electrodes accept the Common Reference signals
directly coming from reference sites on the patient. The 21 EEG Monopolar
Inputs are referenced to this signal.

Polygraphic signals Reference : This socket, labelled “NEP” (Neutral Electrode

Polygraphic), accepts the Separate Poligraphic Reference signal directly coming
from reference sites on the patient. The 3 Polygraphic Inputs are referenced to this
signal..
Isolated Ground : four paralleled sockets labelled “ISOGN”. These sockets

represent the isolated ground inputs; They may be used to connect the patient
ground or to create patient ground referenced inputs for electrodes and sensors.
Calibration : this two sockets labelled with the proper dedicated symbol, are
provided for outputting the internal calibration signal: this may be used to connect
the signal to any inputs to test the whole amplifier chain including the lead used
for the connection.
ATTENTION
All the patient applied parts and corresponding input sockets of the BE LIGHT
acquisition module (patient inputs and pre-wired headset connector) are
electrically isolated from the mains according to IEC 601-1 standard requirements
for Class I, Type CF equipments. This characteristic is indicated to the operator by
the proper symbol placed on the external cover of the device in correspondence of
the input sockets (see description of par. 1.4 of the manual).
ATTENTION
All the 40 input sockets of BE LIGHT acquisition module accept Female 1.5mm
standard safety connectors (complying the DIN 42802 standards).

5.2.1.2 "Mirror" configuration
EEG Monopolar Inputs : labelled with numbers ranging from “1” to “21” and
with the corresponding 10-20 system names swapping the left side with the right
side of the patient's head (see the following table of correspondence). To get the
configuration of these labels on the plastic cover of the BE LIGHT, place the
related stickers provided together with the BE LIGHT acquisition module. These
inputs accept AC coupled signals only, directly coming from acquisition sites on
the patient.. The amplified signal is the difference of potential between each of the
electrodes and the “common reference” electrode for EEG signals (connected to a
NE socket).

5.2.2 CONNECTORS DESCRIPTION
The following figures show in details the connectors of BE LIGHT acquisition

module:
30 29 31 32
Figures 5-8 and 5-9 – Acquisition module connectors
Where:
29. PATIENT LINK connector (Microelectronics SCSI II 36 pin Female type).

This connector is used to connect a pre-wired headset for signals acquisition
from the patient.
30. OPTICAL LINK connector (fibre-optic type). This connector is used to

connect the fibre optic cable to the PCMCIA interface which is inserted into
the proper “slot” of the PC system.
31. DC IN connector (circular 8 contacts Female type). This connector is used to

connect the external specific power supply which provides the isolated input
voltage for the functioning of the BE LIGHT acquisition module.
32. AUX I/O connector (circular 8 contacts Female type). This connector is used
to connect external devices or peripherals which use the UART serial
protocol and are expressly indicated and authorised by EBNeuro.

ATTENTION
Power up the BE LIGHT acquisition module through the proper “DC IN” connector
by using exclusively the specified medical AC/DC adapter compliant with the IEC
60601-1 safety standard (model AULT SW173 - code B9100470000, provided
standard by EBNeuro with the equipment)
ATTENTION
The “AUX I/O” connector is electrically wired to the isolated part of the BE LIGHT
acquisition module (type B protection level).
This connector is intended to be used for connection with the EBNeuro Led Flash
Stimulator (code B9700063000) or with the EBNeuro Goggles Stimulator (code
B9700033000) or with other optional equipments and peripherals expressly
indicated by EBNeuro only.
Do not connect any other device since such an action may constitute an unsafe
condition that could result in serious injury or accidental death of the patient..
ATTENTION
The “DC IN” and “AUX I/O” connectors are exactly the same. The involuntary
inverted connection of the external AC/DC adapter and optional stimulator (or other
peripheral) to the proper connectors respectively, do not compromise the patient
and user safety and do not compromise the correctly working of the device.
ATTENTION
In order to meet IEC 60601-1 standard requirements and to guarantee the patient
safety, when not used, the “PATIENT LINK” connector must be covered by the
proper plastic protection cover.
When this connector is used, remove the cover using the proper tool and then
perform the connection. The connector must be protected again when the
connection will be removed.
ATTENTION
The fibre optic link (through “OPTICAL LINK” connector) achieves an “absolute”
level of electrical isolation between the system PC and the BE LIGHT acquisition
box. In this way the system trolley should be placed far from the “patient area”
where the BE LIGHT acquisition box is placed without technical problems about
data transferring velocity and data quality/reliability.

5.2.3 MULTIFUNCTION SIGNALLING LED
The following figure shows the multifunction signalling Led placed on the front
cover of the BE LIGHT acquisition module.
Figure 5-10 – Multifunction signalling Led
The multifunction signalling Led is blue coloured and it is labelled on the device
cover with the “*” symbol. This Led has the function to signal to the operator
several “status” conditions of the equipment.
The Led status are managed under the control of the GALILEO_NT software
which is installed on the system PC.
Several functions are associated by the GALILEO_NT software to a different

status of the signalling Led according to the operating function of the complete
system.
In the following table these status conditions are described:
N° Led status Function Description
1 On Deselected device The device is powered but it is not

correctly selected by the system or
not correctly connected to it.
2 Off Selected device The device is powered and it is

correctly connected and selected
by the system.
3 Flashing Selected device. The device is selected by the

Function in progress system and a specific function is in
progress.
4 Single flash Power-up routine The device has correctly

terminated the initial self-test
power-up routine

5.2.4 MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL BUTTON
The following figure shows the multifunction control button placed on the front
cover of the BE LIGHT acquisition module.
Figure 5-11 – Multifunction control button
The multifunction control button is labelled on the device cover with the “#”
symbol. This button allows the operator to activate and control several functions
of the equipment.
The button functions are managed under the control of the GALILEO_NT
software which is installed on the system PC.
Several functions are associated by the GALILEO_NT software to the control

button according to the operating function of the complete system.
In the following table these functions are described:
N° Action on Function Description

button
1 Long pressure Ohmmeter The Ohmmeter function is

Activation/deactivation activate/deactivate by pressing the
control button for a long time
(longer than 2 seconds)
2 Short pressure Trigger signal When the Ohmmeter function is

(with Ohmmeter OFF, it is possible to send a
in OFF state) Trigger signal in order to mark an
event on the acquiring signal, by
pressing the control button for a
short time
3 Short pressure Selection of threshold When the Ohmmeter function is

(with Ohmmeter level of the Ohmmeter ON, it is possible to cyclically
in ON state) change the threshold level for
impedance measure, by pressing
the control button for a short time..

5.2.5 OHMMETER
The following figure shows the Ohmmeter section placed on the front cover of the
BE LIGHT acquisition module.
Figure 5-12 – Ohmmeter section
The Ohmmeter function is an optional function provided on request. The labelling

of the Ohmmeter section is always present on the external side of the device cover
also when the Ohmmeter option is not installed.
The Ohmmeter section is made up by a Led matrix which reproduces in reduced

scale the patient inputs (sockets) configuration present on the acquisition module.
Each Led has the function to signal the status of the corresponding electrodes
placed on the patient about its impedance value (electrode-skin contact resistance)
according to an adjustable threshold level. The adjustable threshold level is
general and equal for all the electrodes.
The Ohmmeter function is activated by pressing the control button for a long time
(longer than 2 seconds) When the Ohmmeter function is activated, the device will
automatically and cyclically measure the impedance value of each patient
connection. The results of the measure is displayed on the Led matrix according to
the threshold level currently set.
At the activation of the Ohmmeter function a 20Ω threshold level will be

automatically set. It is possible to adjust the threshold level by pressing the control
button for a short time. Each single pressing of the button key allows to skip to the
next lower threshold value allowable on the scale. When the lowest value of the
scale is selected (1kΩ), a successive pressing of the button will skip the threshold
level to the highest value of the scale (90kΩ).

When the Led is off, it means that the measured impedance value is lower than the
set threshold.
When the Led is on, it means that the measured impedance value is higher than
the set threshold.
The threshold level is software settable and it is made by a Led bar placed below
the Led matrix. The threshold level selected is indicated by the lit Led (on) and it
represents the reference value for the impedance measurement.
The Ohmmeter function is active when a threshold level Led is on.
The Ohmmeter function is deactivated by pressing the control button for a long
time (longer than 2 seconds). All the Matrix Led and threshold Led will be
switched off.

5.3 MAIN ISOLATION MODULE
The mains isolation module has the function to power the whole MIZAR-LIGHT
system and, at the same time, to perform the electrical isolation from the mains.
The mains isolation box guarantees the compliant of the whole system to the limit

ATTENTION
During the electric stimulation the yellow led (ref. n° 71 and n° 77 for stimulator
“A” and “B” respectively) is intermittent in correspondence to each electric
stimulation delivered in accordance with the set characteristics (duration, intensity,
etc.) for the current active stimulator.
If in correspondence to the stimulation generation the OVERLOAD red led goes on
(ref. n° 72 and n° 78 for stimulator “A” and “B” respectively), it means that an
overload situation has occurred.
If the contact resistance between the electric stimulator and the patient becomes
too high, the stimulator is requested to generate a too high voltage (constant
current). In this case the stimulator will issue a stimulation automatically limited to
the maximum applicable power and will signal such a situation (stimulation not
responding to the characteristics set by the user).
NOTE
Please note that the knob for the manual control of the electric stimulation
intensity is a worm encoder. This implies that at each test the stimulation intensity
is set to zero and must be adjusted newly by the user, thus avoiding the possibility
of involuntarily stimulating the patient with an intensity not desired.
NOTE
The TRIGGER IN connector (ref. n° 84) allows to detect a low-level active TTL
external trigger signal (impulse minimum duration: min 50µs).

WARNING
The MMS module is mounted on a special support directly on the jointed arm of
the MIZAR-LIGHT system, immediately below the BE_LIGHT Amplifier (see fig 5-3).
In this arrangement all the connection related to the MMS module and the other
module of the system are performed by qualified personnel during system
installation.
When the MMS module should be used in a “stand alone” configuration (not
mounted directly on the jointed arm) the same connection are suitable trough the
trolley internal wiring using the rear panel connectors ( see fig 5-15 – ref 42, 43, 44
and 45.

ATTENTION
The PHOTIC LINK connector (ref. n° 80) must be used only to connect one of the
two EBNeuro stimulation options:

Installation 6-13
During the system moving (trolley with all options and modules installed), be
careful to the system overall dimensions in order to avoid damages to its
projecting parts and injuries to people or things in the environment and to avoid
possible tilting of the trolley.
During the normal usage of the equipment the two pantograph arms (for BE
LIGHT module and Flash stimulator) and the telescopic pole are normally in
extended position. Moreover during the normal usage the keyboard shelf and the
thermal printer paper basket are pulled out.
This configuration corresponds to maximum system overall dimensions and
minimum trolley stability situations.
In case of system moving, it is necessary place the whole system in “carrying
position”. This position has telescopic pole lowered and the two pantograph arms
(for BE LIGHT module and Flash stimulator) retracted. Moreover carrying
position has the keyboard shelf and the thermal printer paper basket pulled in.
This configuration corresponds to minimum system overall dimensions and
maximum trolley stability situations.

During moving the stand, be careful about the stand stability in order to avoid
possible tilting of the stand.
During the normal usage, with extended pantograph arm and telescopic pole
(minimum stability situation), avoid tilting the stand with inclination angles larger
than 5° (steps or sloping floor).
During moving the stand, put it in “carrying position”. This configuration has the
telescopic pole lowered and the flash stimulator pantograph arm retracted
(maximum stability situation).
When carrying the stand, avoid tilting it with inclination angles larger than 10°.
For this purpose, we recommend to move the stand holding it below the metal
ring for the telescopic pole height adjustment and avoid pushing or pulling the
stand by the acquisition box or by the pantograph arm.

Section 6.2 details the connections and cables to be used in this configuration
Installation 6-23
6.1.19 SYSTEM GENERAL POWERING
Connect the power cable provided standard with the equipment (EURO-type
connector or ITA-type connector) to the mains input connector of the mains
isolation transformer.
For further details check the description in chapter 5 of the present manual.
All the external devices and peripherals which are not powered directly by the
system through the mains isolation module, must be connected to the mains
according to one of the following two procedures:
- Connection of the device’s power cable to an environment mains outlet. The

device must be exclusively placed outside the “patient area”.
- Connection of the device’s power cable to an environment mains outlet

through a medical isolation transformer module. The device can be used both
inside and outside the “patient area”.
These precautions must be taken in order to avoid the loss of electric isolation
level of the system and thus to compromise the patient and operator safety.
All the system peripherals are not compliant with the medical safety standards.
For a safe usage of these devices it is necessary to perform a correct connection of

them to the mains in order to guarantee the compliance of the whole system with
the isolation and leakage current limits indicated by medical safety standards (EN
60601-1 and EN 60601-1-1) and applicable for electromedical equipments and
electromedical systems.

6.2 GENERAL INTERNAL CABLING DIAGRAMS

The schematics (and figures) showed in the next sections illustrate the
interconnections (cabling) among the various module of the MIZAR LIGHT
system.
Of course in some part the cabling depends on the presence of some optional
module
System assembly and the wiring of the various cables interconnecting the
system’s module are performed by qualified personnel during the first installation
to the customer.
Normally there are no reason for the user to deal about these connection and to
need access to the internal wiring.
The described connections are to be intended as “internal links” and normally it
should not be any reason that they became accessible for the operator. Access to
the internal parts is possible only by means of a proper tool (rear panel unlock
key) and this access is intended to be reserved only to qualified personnel.
The following diagrams are included in the manual only for a complete
WARNING
Some parts of the trolley are connected by means of yellow-green conductors to

some point marked with the two labels
Such connections are removable only by means of proper tools; hovewer do not
disconnect these connections for any reason since such an action may constitute
an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or accidental death to the
patient.

WORKING MODE
7.1 CAUTIONS
WARNING
It is strongly recommended to check the overall functionality of the system before
starting any recording.
In case any anomalies or malfunctioning should be noticed, immediately
disconnect the patient from the system (if a patient is already connected), switch
off the system and ask for service to qualified personnel.
In particular (for example) if, with a patient connected to the system, some “flat”
tracing should be noticed on the monitor during recording : in this case if the
problem should not be easily solved (poor electrode connection, broken lead etc)
immediately acts as above, disconnect the patient, do not se the system and ask
for servicing.
WARNING
During “long term recording” (more than one hour) it is strongly recommended to
periodically check that all the system works regularly without any sign of
malfunctioning.
If any anomalies or flat traces should be noted act as in the previous warning.
In particular any electrode site used for long term must be checked for irritation
and redness. Check each electrode periodically to evaluate the skin condition
under the electrode. Redness, blistering and permanent skin scarring can occur if
electrode are not regularly monitored.
Working mode 7-1

7.2 PREPARING THE PATIENT

The stage of preparation of the patient is very important in order to obtain a good
acquisition of the EEG signals and can be divided in the following phases:
• Identification of the electrodes application sites (system 10-20 or system 10-10)
• Preparation of the skin
• Application of the acquisition electrodes.
• Impedance check
7.2.1 ASSIGNING THE ELECTRODES APPLICATION SITES (SYSTEM 10-20)
The acquisition electrodes should be placed on the patient's scalp in pre-

established positions the names of which have been standardised in the "System
10-20" and "System 10-10" by the International Federation for EEG.
The terms "10-20" and "10-10" refer to the fact that the electrodes are placed in
various positions of the scalp at distances of 10% and 20% of the whole length of
ideal lines starting from extract reference points, which are "Nasion" and "Inion"
for the front-rear median line and the pre-ear for the latero-lateral coronal line.
The following Figure 7-1 shows the assignment of the placing sites by indicating
the percentage of the scalp according to the "system 10-20".
This system allows to identify 21 standard positions of electrodes, including the

electrodes of the median line in the front, central and parietal areas and both the
ear electrodes. Each electrode can be identified with reference to the
corresponding body area and more precisely by the means of letters (referred to
the body parts) in addition to numbers to distinct the right (even number) and the
left hemisphere (uneven number).
The following Figure 7-2 shows the position of the 21 standard sites on the scalp.
The operator will have to find and mark the correct positions for electrodes
directly on the patient's scalp with use of a dermographic pencil, dividers and
flexible rules. For further information we recommend to consult relevant medical
literature.

Working mode 7-3

7.2.2 PREPARING THE SCALP
The phase of preparation of the scalp has an important role in establishing a good
electric contact, thus allowing the best kind of recording.
Following the indicated procedure:
• Each patient should wash his hair before being tested and avoid grease, gel or
spray products.
• Once the positions of the electrodes have been established, each part should be
cleaned with a wad of cotton wool soaked ether, acetone, alcohol or specific
abrasive paste for EEG in order to reduce the natural fat of the skin.
• During this operation pay attention not to cancel the signs previously made on
the skin with the dermograph. Use ether, acetone and alcohol with most care
near the patient's eyes, nose and mouth.
• If you use needle electrodes during the recording, disinfect the skin to reduce
the risks of infection.
• In some patients it can be extremely difficult to reduce the contact resistance

by removing the grease from the scalp surface. In these cases it could be
necessary to scarify the skin by gently rubbing the area with a piece of very
fine glass-paper in order to better remove the surface film of the skin.
7.2.3 PLACING THE EEG ACQUISITION ELECTRODES
The compact bridge electrodes are made of a small plate with a diameter of about
1 centimeter, connected to a short cylindrical bar mounted on an insulating piece
of plastic.
The small plate is covered with a small disk of cotton-wool or gauze soaked with
a salt solution and fixed by means of an elastic ring.
The conductor cable connects the patient input box to the electrode by means of a
crocodile-shaped clamp as shown in the following Figure 7-3.
The electrodes are kept fixed on the scalp, in correspondence of the pre-
established sites, by means of a headset made of a lot small tubes of flexible
material connected to one another by means of adjustable joints allowing to adjust
the headset on the size and form of the patient's head.
The following Figure 7-3a shows an example of a set of bridge electrodes kept
together by means of an adjustable headset.
7-4 Working mode

a) b)
Figure 7-3 a) Bridge electrode
b) Set of bridge electrodes and adjustable headset
After preparing the scalp as described above, place the electrodes as indicated
below:
a) Put the rubber headset on the patient's head and adjust it to fit to its form
and size. Tighten it as much as possible using the chin lace, taking care not
to bother the patient.
b) After soaking the pieces of gauze in the salt solution (NaCl 0.9%), prepare
all necessary compact bridge electrodes using the proper accessories.
c) Place all the electrodes on the scalp on the pre-established sites, and insert
them under the single rubber segments of the headset (see figure 7-3.b), so
that they are fixed and in contact with the skin. If necessary, adjust the
headset using the proper laces.
d) Connect the one end of each interconnection cable to the upper end of an
electrode using the crocodile-shaped clap (see fig. 7-3.a) and connect the
other end to the jack of the patient input box corresponding to the position
of that electrode.
e) Connect the other electrodes to the patient input box as described above.
f) Connect the one end of each ear electrode to the patient's ear lobes using
the proper clap and the other end to the patient input box using the
corresponding jacks
If the operator uses a pre-cabled headset instead of the single electrodes end
interconnection cables, it is necessary to connect the headset cable to the
PATIENT LINK connector placed on the front panel of patient input box.
Working mode 7-5

7.2.4 IMPEDANCE CHECK
The measurement and the maintenance of a good contact resistance between the
electrode and the scalp is extremely important in order to obtain a good recording,
and a reliable arctifact-free acquisition.
It is very important perform an impedance check before recording start and, for
long recordings, perform the test again during the acquisition.
In theory, impedance should be low (up to max 10 Kohm values for EEG and up
to max 5 Kohm values for Evoked Potentials)
High resistance values may cause an attenuation of the signals. On the other side,
an extremely low resistance, lower than 100 ohm, create a “shunt” or short-
circuit, and causes an attenuation of the signal as well.
It is thus important to obtain low impedance values, but even more important is to
obtain a balance among the values of the different electrodes.
Different values between two electrodes may cause asymmetric conduction or

artifacts.
WARNING
In order to perform a correct impedance check with reliable results, it is necessary
connect both the reference electrode (Neutral Electrode) and the ground electrode
(Patient GND) before start the impedance check function.
The results of the performed reading will be displayed on the screen of the system
monitor, both in the graphical and in the numeric form.
It is possible for the user to adjust a threshold level on the chosen impedance
value and then obtain in real time a general information about all electrodes.
The equipment software repeats the impedance measurement in a cyclic way for
all electrodes, and each time displays the new results.
In this way you can change the position of any electrode with high contact
resistance and check the improvement of such values in real time.
Not correctly applied electrodes, improper preparation of the patient’s skin,

patient’s sweating, too much electroconductive creme, damaged electrodes or
different kinds of electrodes used at the same time, may be the causes of high
impedance values and unbalances.
For more details about Impedance Check functioning procedures, refer to the
“GALILEO_NT program functioning” section and “EP_NT program functioning”
section of the MIZAR-LIGHT operator manual.

• If no part of the system (isolation transformer module, personal computer, BE

LIGHT acquisition box, monitor and thermal printer) is powered when you
turn on the system, it means that there is a burned fuse in the mains isolation
box.
Such a condition is confirmed if the main switch of isolation transformer

module is on ON (I position), but the green led indicating "mains on line" is
off.
In this case have the burned fuse replaced as the described below.
• If no part of the system except the isolation transformer module is powered

when you turn on the system, it means that there is a burned fuse in the
Personal Computer. Such a condition is confirmed if the switch of the isolation
transformer module is on ON (I position) with the green led indicating "mains
on line" on, but nether PC nor the other parts are supplied.
In this case contact the nearest Service Center to have the PC fuse replaced (the
fuse cannot be accessed and replaced by the user).
• If either the monitor of the thermal printer or the BE LIGHT acquisition box do
not start when the system and the isolation transformer module are powered up,
it means that the fuses of the inactive element is burned.
In this case contact the nearest Service Center to have the fuse replaced (the fuses
cannot be accessed and replaced by the user).
8-2 Maintenance
Figure 8-1 - Replacement of the mains fuses
Replace the burned fuse of the mains isolation box following the indicated
procedure:
a) Turn the power switch of the isolation transformer module to OFF (O)
position and disconnect the mains cable from the input connector of the
box itself.
b) Extract the fuse holder from the rear panel of the isolation transformer
module. In order to extract the fuse holder insert the tip of a screwdriver
alternatively under the lateral blocking flags and lever outwards in figure
8-1 above.
c) Identify and replace the burned fuse. The burned fuse is the one with the
interrupted filament inside. Always replace fuse only with other fuses

8.3 REPLACING THE THERMAL PRINTER PAPER

The following instructions and the following Figures 8-2, 8-3 and 8-4 will help
you replace the thermal print paper:
a) Make sure no print job is running
b) Pull the lid of the paper tray downwards until it is completely opened.
Now the write head is kept away from the paper roller.
c) Prepare a new pack of paper, making sure that paper format and type is
that expressly indicated by EBNeuro: (code E9690023000 A4-format)
Put the pack of paper in front of you, so that the marks are on your left and
the EBNeuro logo in on your right; fold the first sheet of paper on the two
corners so that the paper mark can be easily seen and the successive paper
feeding is made easier (see Fig. 8-2)
In brand new packs of paper such folds have been already made for you.
d) Insert the pack of paper into the proper tray, holding the folded side of the
first sheet with a hand, so that remains outside the printer (see Fig. 8-3).
Before inserting the paper into the tray, make sure that it is on the right
side (paper mark on the left and EBNeuro logo on the right) and that all
sheets are aligned in a compact pack.
e) Insert the paper between the roller and the write head putting the folded
end of the first sheet outwards. The fold made previously will make easier
to insert the paper (see Fig. 8-4). Gently pull the paper a few centimeters
outwards, holding the folded side, so as to check whether alignment and
flowability on the roller are correct.
f) Close the paper tray lid and perform a test print.
WARNING
Use only paper expressly indicated by EBNeuro:
(code E9690023000 A4-format)
WARNING
During the test print make sure the paper runs perfectly perpendicular with the
paper roller.
An incorrect alignment of the paper would damage it and could cause a paper jam

8.4 PERIODIC CALIBRATION

The following paragraphs respectively describe the “physical calibration” and
“recording calibration” procedures for the acquisition system in order to check the
correct working of whole acquisition and amplification chains.
8.4.1 “PHYSICAL” SYSTEM CALIBRATION
This is standard calibration procedure. A physical signal (its amplitude and

frequency are known) is injected into the input of each channel. The results of the
entire processing (analog and digital) are measured and evaluated in order to
verify that the signal processing chain is correctly working.
This kind of calibration allows to “adjust” the possible small gain values
differences among the channels.
It is very important to have an uniformity of channels gain because the EEG traces
are the result of numeric differences between the acquired channels.
When physical calibration is activated (under control of GALILEO_NT software),

an amplitude-known sinusoidal signal is generated by the amplifiers and then
injected into the inputs of each channel through a proper adapter.
The processing results are elaborated on the system PC by a dedicated software
procedure. The signals are filtered and averaged in order to eliminate the noise.
Then, the real gain of each channel is calculated.
From this acquired data the corrective factors (calibration constants) are
calculated in order to uniform the gain of each channel.
The calibration constants are stored in a flash memory on the BE_LIGHT
acquisition box and then transmitted to the BE NET ( or PCMCIA) interface. The
calibration constants are applied during each acquisition and they will be valid
until the next physical calibration is made.
It is not necessary to activate the physical system calibration frequently.

We suggest to perform the physical calibration after the device has been serviced
or replaced.
The calibration date is stored on the flash memory of BE_LIGHT acquisition box
together the calibration constants.
The “physical” calibration operations must be performed exclusively by qualified

personnel authorised by EBNeuro.
The calibration procedure below described is intended for general information and
documentation of the MIZAR LIGHT. This procedure is not intended to be
performed by the user.
8-8 Maintenance
For technical reasons (noise reduction and hardware minimization), there are no
internal automatic switches for all the inputs of physical calibration signal. Please
follows the below described procedure to perform the physical calibration:
Follows the below described procedure to perform the physical calibration:
• Insert the proper “BE_LIGHT Channels Calibration” device code

B9500114000 (provided to authorized technical personnel) in the PATIENT
LINK connector of the amplifier box;
• Run the software procedure from the system PC (please check the relevant
documentation about host system PC control software - ref. testing software
code B8690039000);
• At the end of calibration process, remove the “BE_LIGHT Channels

Calibration”.
NOTE
If the physical calibration process is activated when the patient is still connected to
the amplifier box, no safety hazard for the patient health is present.
In this case the amplifiers will add the signals coming from the patient to the
internal generated calibration signal.
8.4.2 “RECORDING” SYSTEM CALIBRATION
This kind of calibration is normally performed at the beginning and/or at the end
of each recording.
The calibration activation is under the operator’s management and responsibility.
Under the GALILEO_NT software control, the amplifier system generates the
calibration signal (square wave 1Hz frequency – 50uV amplitude).
This signal is sent to the BE NET (or PCMCIA) interface and it allows to check
the signal transferring chain, the communication protocol with host system PC
and digital processing chain (digital filters, digital gain, etc.).
For further information about “recording” calibration, please check the

“GALILEO_NT software functioning” section of the system operator manual.
Maintenance 8-9
8.5 TEST OF PATTERN STIMULATOR MONITOR

Before starting acquisition and stimulation of the visual evoked potentials it is
possible to perform a test of the Pattern stimulator monitor.
By means this test you can check the geometric images displayed on the monitor
and, if necessary, correct the squaring and proportions between the X and Y axes
of a stimulation image.
We suggest to perform the stimulator monitor test twice a mouth and always when
the stimulation image seems incorrect or distorted.
At the system start-up, the Pattern stimulator monitor will display the test image
as shown in the following figure:
Figure 8-5 – Test image
Perform the monitor test according to the following procedure:
• Make sure that no electric or electronic instrument placed near the stimulator
monitor causes interference and thus instability of the image on the screen.
• Degauss the monitor screen using the proper DEGAUSS command on the
monitor. This procedure will eliminate any alterations of the correct scanning
of the electron beam within the cathod-ray tube (CRT) of monitor.
8-10 Maintenance
• Correct the “Cushion” effect of the screen, if any, using the proper monitor
command. This procedure allows to correct the curve that can appear on the
ends of the image, both outward and inward.
• Centre the stimulation figure on the screen using the proper horizontal/vertical
positioning commands of the monitor
• Size the test image on the screen so that width and height are in the right
proportion using the proper commands for the horizontal/vertical width control
of the monitor. In order to correctly perform this operation, refer to the
proportion among the chessboard and correct the circle in case it has get
squashed or stretched. Please make sure that the test image is displayed within
the monitor screen and that it covers all the available surface.
• Check for the correct setting of contrast and brightness parameters of the
monitor.
WARNING
Do not modify the “Contrast” and “Brightness” parameters setting of stimulation
monitor.
The contrast and brightness adjustment of stimulator monitor must be not

modified by the operator. These values are adjusted by EBNeuro during the
system configuration and testing phase, when the contrast and brightness of image
are measured with proper calibrated instruments.
In case contrast and brightness parameters are accidentally modified, we

recommend to restore them on the EBNeuro original values.
The EBNeuro original values of contrast and brightness parameters are shown in
the dedicate “EBNeuro Factory Setting” label placed on the rear panel of monitor.
WARNING
For further information about the adjustment modalities of monitor parameters
(cushion effect, degauss, horizontal/vertical size and position of image, contrast
and brightness), please refers to monitor manufacturer user manual provided with
the equipment.
Maintenance 8-11
8.6 SAFETY CHECKS

It is essential to periodically check the equipment and the devices or systems it is
connected to and all the interconnection cables in order to ensure that the
equipment continues working efficiently and safely. It is also necessary to check
the equipment to remove any dust deposits. Preventive or corrective maintenance
operations must be performed by qualified technical staff expressly authorized by
EBNeuro.
A sight inspection of the interconnection cables, with particular care for the cables
between equipment and acquisition box and for all the power cords (mains cable),
can be performed also by medical or paramedical staff in order to remark any
breaking or disconnection. In case of need, immediately contact a qualified
technician to solve the problem detected before continuing to use the equipment
or connecting it to other devices. For the technical assistance request procedures,
please refer to chapter “Request for assistance” of the manual.
ATTENTION
Safety checks must be accurately performed periodically and at least twice a year.
8.6.1 ENVIRONMENT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
A danger for the patient’s health is determined, first of all, by the efficiency of the
electrical equipment of the building where the equipment is used. The isolation
safety guaranteed by Class I to which the device belongs is useless, if the wiring is
not provided with a good earth plate, accessible though the mains outlet.
It is fundamental that qualified technicians check the electric wiring periodically

(efficiency of the main outlets and of the power outlet).
ATTENTION
If the integrity of the environment’s electrical equipment, and in particular the
protective earth, is not reliable for safety, do not supply and use the equipment
until the safety conditions are restored.
8-12 Maintenance
8.6.2 INTERCONNECTION CABLES AND CONNECTORS
It is necessary to check periodically the integrity of the interconnection cables

between the instrument and the other devices that compose the system with
particular care for the fiber-optic cable which connects the acquisition box to the
BE NET (or PCMCIA) interface (installed into PC of the system).
Elementary precautions may prevent prematurely breaking or deteriorating of the
cables. Be careful when removing the cables from the corresponding connectors
on the equipment panel; take the cable terminal connector resolutely, though with
delicacy, out of the connector. Avoid twisting or tearing cables, which may cause
breaks and interruptions to the conductors.
Monthly check cables for abrasion and wear. Replace any cable with exposed wire
or shield.
Check the connectors on the ends of cable for bent or broken pins. Replace the
cable with damaged connector.
Check the connector on the acquisition box and on optional modules and
peripherals for broken or damaged contacts. If you find a damaged connector refer
to qualified technical support service.
8.6.3 MAINS CABLE
The system mains cable not only connects the system to the phases of the
electrical network, it also connect the chassis and the accessible metal or
conductive parts to the ground, according to the building criteria of Class I to
which the device belongs.
The protection conduction belonging to the mains cable can be recognised from
its yellow-green isolation coating. Any interruption of this conductor frustrates the
safety of the device and cause danger for the patient's and user's health.
It is necessary to periodically check the integrity of the ground conductor and its
correct connection to the central pin of the mains plug. The cable integrity can be
checked with X-rays, indispensable when the cable is sealed and therefore cannot
be opened.
Elementary precautions in use can avoid premature breaking or damaging of the
cable. Avoid twisting or pulling it violently, especially when unplugging the
terminal plug of the mains cable. During this operation avoid pulling the cable
hold the plug in your hand and unplug resolutely without twisting. Similar
precautions must be taken when drawing the mains cable out of the mains input
connector placed on the device.
WARNING
If the mains cable is not reliable for safety, do not connect the system to the mains
until the cable has been replaced and safety conditions are repristinated.
Maintenance 8-13
8.7 CLEANING THE DEVICE

It is necessary to keep the equipment clean in order to avoid dust deposits, which
could interfere with the efficiency of all the system components.
It is possible to clean the equipment external surface with a cloth lightly

moistened with warm water and soap. Wipe the washed parts with a dry cloth.
WARNING
Do not immerse the equipment nor its parts in liquids, do not oil any part of it and
avoid cleaning the external surface with alcoholic disinfectants that could cause
damages and decolorization of the printed surfaces
ATTENTION
Before cleaning any part of the equipment disconnect the equipment from the
power supply or remove the internal batteries (if battery option is installed) and
disconnect the device from any other equipment or external devices.
ATTENTION
Make sure no liquid seeps into the instrument and check it’s complete dryness
before to reconnect to the power supply (or inserting the batteries) or before
connecting it with other devices, thus switching it on.

8.7.1 FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS
In order to guarantee the correct functionality of the BE-LIGHT Amplifier and its
interfaces, it is necessary preserve the full functionality of the fiber optic
connectors functionality. Fiber optic connectors are placed on BE_LIGHT
Amplifier panel and on PCMCIA and BE NET interface ones
Dust deposit or other foreign bodies, including smoke, entered inside the fiber
optic connectors can compromise the linking functionality of the optical
connection between BE_LIGHT Amplifier and its BE NET or PCMCIA
interfaces. In this case the correctly working of system may be compromised.
WARNING
Avoid inserting any kind of foreign bodies inside the fiber optic connectors of the
Amplifier and of its interface modules.
Perform the optical connection between Amplifier and its interface modules by
using exclusively the proper fiber optic cable provided by EBNeuro
Do not smoke near the fiber optic connectors, The smoke may stain the connector
inside parts and damage the material it is made.
The internal part of fiber optic connector can be easily scratched and damaged,
therefore it is necessary to protect it with much care.
For this scope, all the fiber optic connectors, provided by EBNeuro, are covered
by two proper rubber protection tips. These tips use is intended to avoid the entry
of little objects or dust inside the fiber optic connectors when they are not used.
WARNING
In order to guarantee the correctly working of the equipment, when not used, the
fiber optic connectors of devices must be covered by the proper rubber protection
tips.
When these connectors are used, remove the rubber protection tips and then
perform the connection by means the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connectors
must be protected again when the optic connection will be removed.
EBNeuro suggest to clean the fiber optic connectors twice a year. To this purpose,
use a compressed aerosol bomb available on the market for we suggest some
brands: TexWipe, Dust-Off and Falon.
WARNING
Some aerosol products use Freon gas as propellant. Use such products with much
care and after carefully reading the instructions, because, if you use them at wrong
distance and wrong inclination, the Freon gas will spill out and stain the
application surface with a white film.
