2. EMG-USB KIT CONTENT
 1 multichannel amplifier EMG-USB2
 1 to 7 cable adapters to connect electrodes to the amplifier (depending on the number of
channels installed into the amplifier and on the customer request);
 1 conductive cream package;
 3 reference straps;
 Arrays and matrix of electrodes of different sizes, depending on the customer request;
 1 EMG-USB2 user manual.
3. END USER
EMG-USB2 multichannel amplifier allows invasive and non invasive recording of biopotentials
(iEMG, sEMG, EEG, ECG) detected by superficial and intramuscular electrode.
In case of sEMG, EEG and ECG recordings the end user must be familiar with the technique and
received a proper training in EMG or EEG or ECG detection and interpretation.
The detection of iEMG signals is subjected to the insertion of needles or wires into the muscle and
must be supervised by trained medical staff.

Contraindications

EMG-USB2 has no particular contraindications when used jointly with personal computers,
provided that all the electrical devices connected to it and the power line comply with safety rules
and standards concerning grounding and leakage currents.

Side effects

In case of sEMG, EEG or ECG, no significant side effects are known. The materials used for
manufacturing all the parts in contact with the patient are biocompatible. Possible slight cutaneous
allergic reactions (e.g. skin reddening) are reduced to a minimum during short duration of
bioelectrical signal acquisitions.
In case of iEMG, the needles or wires used to detect the signals must be sterilized. No significant
side effects are known.
