Medusa4Z BioAmp | 4 Medusa4Z BioAmp Medusa4Z Overview The Medusa4Z is a four-channel, referential, low-noise digital bioamp targeted for use in low- channel-count, low-impedance neurophysiology recordings, such as ABR, EEG, EMG, or EKG signals. The bioamp digitizes one or four channels at acquisition rates of approximately 3kHz, 6kHz, 12kHz, or 25kHz, and the amplified digital signal is sent to the base station via a noiseless fiber optic connector.
Medusa4Z is connected. The change occurs by modifying the underlying circuit running on the base station in Synapse or BioSigRZ. This is the handled by default in Synapse v92 and above, BioSigRZ v5.7.5 and above. In TDT Drivers v92 and above there is a RPvdsEx circuit macro available in: C:\TDT\RPvdsEx\Macros\Device\Medusa4Z_Bioamp...
Medusa4Z BioAmp | 6 Electrode Connectors Plug the electrodes directly into the standard 1.5mm touchproof connectors on the side of the Medusa4Z. Impedance Checking The Impedance checker on the Medusa4Z provides a simple check of the channel impedance relative to ground. To check the impedance level, press the button next to the channel indicator (e.g.
Medusa4Z BioAmp | 7 The LCD screen shows the current sampling rate, battery level, and signal level indication on the active channels. Use the SETUP button to cycle through available settings and use the OPTION button to change the currently selected setting. Settings include: Active Channels: Single or Four Channel Sample Frequency: ~3kHz, ~6kHz, ~12kHz, System Rate (up to ~25kHz).
Medusa4Z BioAmp | 8 The duplex fiber optic cable has identical one-piece connectors at each end. There is a V- shaped groove on one side of the connector and a raised rectangle on the other. As shown in the image below, plug the connector into the RZ6 port with the raised rectangle side up. Plug the connector into the preamplifier with the V-shaped groove up.
