Overview It can be useful in terms of therapy to measure not only the EEG but also other physiological parameters and to provide feedback based on them. A device that does exactly this is the Combination Sensor. It’s highly functional housing contains three different sensors with measuring amplifiers, which allow for the precise and low-noise measurement of three physiological parameters.
1 Indications for Use The Combination Sensor is a biofeedback sensor to measure GSR, skin temperature and heart rate. GSR and skin temperature are not measured in absolute values. The purpose is to measure trends. The Combination Sensor may only be used by trained professionals who can ensure safe handling.
The meaning of the symbols on the label of the Combination Sensor: Conformity symbol 0482 Please dispose of the product properly, do not put into regular trash. Manufacturer Year of production QR Code Serial number Medical device 2.2 Intended Purpose 2.2.1 INTENDED USE The Combination Sensor is a biofeedback sensor to measure GSR, skin temperature and heart rate.
2.2.5 ENVIRONMENT The Combination Sensor may be used in professional healthcare facilities, such as physician offices. It is not intended for use in home healthcare environments or in special environments, such as heavy industry or HF surgical environments. 2.2.6 DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION For device description and principles of operation, please see chapter 3.
WARNING Entanglement or Strangulation by the cable of the Combination Sensor • The patient and the cable should always be arranged in a way that it is not possible for the patient to become entangled or strangled by the cable. 2.6 Device-related Safety Information WARNING •...

WARNING Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Combination Sensor, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

Figure 4: Connection of the Combination Sensor cable to the rightmost socket on the EEG NeuroAmp®. The Combination Sensor only functions when connected to this specific socket. 3.2 Electromagnetic Compliance The Combination Sensor was tested according to the IEC 60601-1-2 and complies with: •...
4 Set-Up 4.1 Unpacking the Combination Sensor WARNING Death due to suffocation if packing material is swallowed • Store packing material out of reach of children Unpack your Combination Sensor. Please verify that the device is not damaged. If the device is damaged, please return it for a replacement.
4.3 Connecting the Combination Sensor to the digitizing unit The Combination Sensor has a Mini-Din8 plug, which plugs directly into the EEG NeuroAmp®. Please make sure to only plug the Combination Sensor into the rightmost socket on the EEG NeuroAmp® (see Figure 4). Interfaces to other digitalization units might be added in the future.
Operation The Combination Sensor is controlled entirely by the Biofeedback/Neurofeedback software on the computer and powered by the EEG NeuroAmp®. No user interaction with the device is necessary. In order to attach the Combination Sensor to the finger, cut off a 10cm-long piece of the tape that comes with the sensor.
5.1 Interpretation of the measured data Figure 7: Display of the sensor data Figure 7 shows the recorded sensor data. The HRV (Heart Rate Variability - first diagram) and the Stress Index (last diagram) are calculated according to established methods described in the literature.
5.1.1 Definition HRV HRV is defined as the deviation of the current heart rate from a completely rhythmic sequence. The numerical value displayed as HRV corresponds to the Min / Max interval of the heart rate in a defined time slot. In general, a higher value indicates that the heart is able to change the time between two heartbeats depending on physical or psychological stress and therefore react flexibly to varying challenges.
6 Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage and Disposal Great care was taken to develop and produce this device, and it should be handled with just as much care. If you follow these instructions carefully, you avoid the premature expiry of the warranty and enjoy the safe use of your product for years. 6.1 Cleaning and Maintenance For disinfecting your Combination Sensor we recommend the disinfectant wipes Incidin Wipes Premium.
