Eclipse Additional Information
Trigger Cable
Connection to the Eclipse is via a standard 6.3mm stereo Jack. The "Trigger In" signal is on the tip of the
jack.
The "Trigger Out" signal is a stereo jack with the signal present on the "middle ring". Ensure that the trigger
cable used is a stereo jack. A mono jack will not work.
Ensure that the trigger signal is actually being sent from the Cochlear Implant Stimulator to the EPx5 soft-
ware. The trigger signal may not be enabled when the speech processor box/PPS communicates with the
Cochlear Implant. It can be enabled under the software on the Cochlear Implant computer.
Trigger Cables
The following two cables sold by Interacoustics are compatible for use with Cochlear implant devices. The
cables are available in either 1.5m (Part #: 8004222) or 5m (Part #: 8004236).
An eABR trigger kit can also be ordered number 8105928. This includes the below two cables and the EPA3
cable collector.
8105924 cable for AB/MedEl/Neurolec/Oticon Medical
8004222 cable for Cochlear Nucleus
1. Connect the trigger output of the Cochlear Implant computer to the trigger input of the Eclipse
2. Start up both the Eclipse and CI system.
3. Select the eABR auto protocol under the EP25 list.
4. Do a trial test (no patient connected) if this is first time to perform the eABR – to make sure the two
system are communicating as expected.
Example: Set the CI system to generate a stimuli and a trigger signal. The EPx5 system must make a
recording when receiving the trigger signal. The preamplifier electrodes can be short-circuited other-
wise it will report rejection.
5. Connect the patient
6. Set up the cochlear implant computer and follow the eABR instructions as specified by the cochlear
implant manufacturer.
7. Select the electrode band to stimulate on the CI-system
8. Click on the Start button to start. The Eclipse EP25 system will wait for the triggers to start acquisition.
For information about the test procedure please refer to the relevant quick guide.
