Monitor (10): Connection to the monitor allows users to observe the
operation of the CereStim R96 Current Modules using an oscilloscope or
other monitoring device. The pinout for this connector is shown in Figure 2-5
to the right. Numbers 1-16 refer to the monitor line of the corresponding
current module (i.e. number 1 corresponds to module 1).
Care should be used in selecting equipment for connection to the Monitor
port as it could potentially transmit large voltage transients directly to the
patient electrodes. Devices connected to this port must be isolated from
earth ground in compliance with IEC 60601-1.
Patient Ground (11): The patient ground should be connected to the
Patient Ground connector. The CereStim R96 System provides a
minimum isolation of 2.5 kV between the patient and the mains
power supply.
2.3 Computer Setup
The CereStim R96 uses a USB connection to
communicate with the PC. It uses a standard
Human Interface Device (HID) USB
communication, so no specific drivers are
needed. The Stim Manager Software runs
on Windows XP and Windows 7.
WARNING: The Stim Switch (if required
for your application) should only be used
with an IEC 60950 Computer. The
computer must be placed outside of the
patient environment which is defined as
an area 1.5m (4.92 feet) from the patient
2.4 Hardware Setup
The CereStim R96 and its subcomponents (i.e. USB A-B Cable and external power supply) are all
suitable for use within the “patient environment.” However, any IEC 60950 approved information
technology equipment that is intended for use with the CereStim R96 System (i.e. computer) must be
placed outside of the “patient environment.” The patient environment is defined as an area 1.5m
(4.92 feet) from the patient.
2.4.1 CereStim R96 Connection to the Stim Switch
2.4.1.1 Unpack all components of the CereStim R96 packaging.
2.4.1.2 Turn on your IEC 60950 PC and load the Stim Manager Software (included in
packaging).
WARNING: When connecting to a Stim Switch, the IEC 60950 PC must be plugged
into the medical grade isolation transformer included in the Stim Switch
packaging. For further instructions, please refer to the Stim Switch User Manual
2.4.1.3 Confirm that the CereStim R96 is turned off.
