Abstract: The present specification discloses an intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) system including a computing device capable of executing an IONM software engine, a stimulation module having multiple ports and various stimulation components and recording electrodes. The system is used to implement transcranial electrical stimulation and motor evoked potential monitoring by positioning at least one recording electrode on a patient, connecting the stimulation components to at least one port on the stimulation module, positioning the stimulation components on a patient's head, activating, using the IONM software engine, at least one port, delivering stimulation to the patient; and recording a stimulatory response on the patient.

Abstract: Methods of performing diagnostic tests on electroencephalography (EEG) recording devices comprising at least one stimulator coupled with a plurality of EEG electrode recording channels and corresponding recording channel connectors are performed by a test fixture comprising a plurality of resistors coupled with one or more of the EEG electrode recording channels and corresponding recording channel connectors. The methods include performing an impedance test for determining if each EEG recording channel of the EEG recording device has a predefined impedance, performing a channel uniqueness test for each EEG recording channel, performing a test for verifying the state of a switch of the stimulator of the EEG recording device, and performing a test for verifying connector IDs of the recording channel connectors connecting the EEG electrodes to respective EEG recording channels.

Abstract: An integrated switch matrix for a medical device system used for long-term monitoring of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and mapping of the brain through cortical stimulation is configured to switch functions of various electrodes associated with the system in response to user needs. The programmable switch matrix is integrated in an EEG recording device and allows for connecting any patient electrode(s) to a ground circuit, connecting any patient electrode to a common reference, connecting a selected common reference to any or all recording device(s) in the system and, connecting any patient electrode(s) to anode and/or cathode outputs of a neurostimulator for multi-contact cortical stimulation.
