Mobile-72
This manual contains general operating instructions, precautionary measures,
maintenance instructions, and information for use of the CGX Mobile-72.
Please read this manual carefully and familiarize yourself with the controls and
accessories before using the product.
Note
This is an investigational device designed for research and development efforts.
It is not an FDA-approved medical device.
There are no known side effects from the use of this product.
Description
The Mobile-72 is a wireless, high-
density gel EEG system.
The amplifier provides wireless
acquisition of recorded EEG signals.
Wireless technology allows the subject
to move about while real-time data is
collected and displayed. EEG channels
are sampled at a time resolution of
500Hz and converted to digital data at
24 bits of resolution.
The Mobile-72 provides research grade
signal quality and is ideally suited for
high-density EEG and ERP research in
laboratory and field environments.

    To avoid cross-subject contamination, follow the cleaning instructions to clean sensors and headset after each use. This device is not intended to be sterilized in an autoclave. Cleaning The Mobile-72 Amplifier Use hand sanitizer or alcohol wipes to the Mobile-72. • Cleaning The Electrode Breakout Box Remove Amplifier from Electrode Breakout Box.
  • Page 8 Obtaining Clean EEG Data The most important aspect of EEG recording is that Mobile-72 sensor locations output data is only as good as the recording input. While lie within 1.0 centimeters on the vast majority of hand- algorithms exist to remove artifacts, poorly recorded data measured 10-10 placements.
  • Page 9 Understanding Readings (20 Channels Shown For Clarity) Clean Data At Default Scale Traces are thin and deviate minimally from the axis. Blinks Eye blinks will generate muscle artifacts in the frontopolar locations (Fp1 and Fp2) and less so in frontal sensors (F3/F4, F7/F8), overshadowing brain activity in EEG recordings. Eye Movement Moving the eyes will generate muscle artifact in the forehead and front of the head.
  • Page 10 Understanding Readings (20 Channels Shown For Clarity) Muscle Artifact: Jaw Clench Jaw clenching may affect most or all channels, especially if clenching hard. Light jaw clenching or tightness can be observed in F7/F8, T3/T4. Take note of any temporomandibular joint disorders: these can cause artifact without typical clenching. Muscle Artifact: Tongue Movement The tongue is a large polarized muscle, with the tongue’s tip negative with...
  • Page 11 Understanding Readings (20 Channels Shown For Clarity) Muscle Artifact: Neck Tension Neck tension may affect channels on the back of the head, predominantly O1/O2, but also in parietal sensors (Pz/P3/P4, P7/P8). Subjects should be comfortably seated, with appropriate bracing at the back and neck. Avoid slouching. Headset Or Electrode Disruptions: Sensor Pops Brief disruptions in contact between sensor and scalp may cause “sensor pops”...
  • Page 12 To avoid power line artifacts, have subjects sitting at least 3 feet from power cords, plugged-in devices, and lighting or overhead fluorescent lights. The Mobile-72 shields the sensors from environmental noise, but issues can still occur with poor skin contact.
  • Page 13 Understanding Readings (20 Channels Shown For Clarity) Improper Setup: No Connected Reference There are a multitude of recording errors when Reference is not connected to the subject. The most common are: • Impedances match or nearly match at a low value but do not appear on the display or in the impedance head map.
  • Page 14 Understanding Readings (20 Channels Shown For Clarity) Improper Setup: Reference Contact When the reference channel is touched or jostled, all channels will be affected. Improper Setup: Reference Disruption When the reference is disconnected, all channels will disconnect as well. Improper Setup: Ground Disruption If Ground has poor contact, all channels will be impacted. Avoid disrupting the Ground connection during use.
