Check the electrodes:

Make sure that the patient electrodes are connected to the correct channel in the amplifier and fit securely.
Do not use electrode cables that are broken, frayed or have kinks
Use large surface ground electrodes
Check the test Settings to insure they are appropriate for the test. If unsure, use the Natus default settings:

Filter – Filters out unwanted signals (high and low frequencies).
Notch filter – Minimizes 50/60Hz electrical interference.
Sensitivity – Optimizes the signal at the amplifier.
To improve NCS:

Clean the skin surface and use electrode gel at the stimulation site
Place ground between the stimulation and recording site
Use data averaging to improve the signal-to-noise ratio
Use bi-phasic stimulation

Use the live monitor/scope window to detect unwanted noise or artifacts such as extraneous spikes or 50/60 Hz.

Disposal at End of Operating Life Instructions

Natus is committed to meeting the requirements of the European Union WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014.
These regulations state that electrical and electronic waste must be separately collected for the proper treatment and recovery to ensure that
WEEE is reused or recycled safely. In line with that commitment Natus may pass along the obligation for take back and recycling to the end user
unless other arrangements have been made. Please contact us for details on the collection and recovery systems available to you in your
region at natus.com
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) contains materials, components and substances that may be hazardous and present a risk to human
health and the environment when WEEE is not handled correctly. Therefore, end users also have a role to play in ensuring that WEEE is reused
and recycled safely. Users of electrical and electronic equipment must not discard WEEE together with other wastes. Users must use the
municipal collection schemes or the producer/ importers take-back obligation or licensed waste carriers to reduce adverse environmental
impacts in connection with disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment and to increase opportunities for reuse, recycling and
recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Equipment marked with the below crossed-out wheeled bin is electrical and electronic equipment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol
indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment should not be discarded together with unseparated waste but must be collected
separately.
