Neuro Supplies
FDA Clearance Information
The Neurolink EEG EP EMG Surface Electrodes were cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on January 31, 1995. Manufactured by Neuro Supplies, this device is classified as Class 2 under product code GXY.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Recording electrical activity from the brain by electroencephalography (EEG)
- Recording evoked potentials (EP)
- Recording electrical activity from muscles by electromyography (EMG)
Clinical Applications
- EEG recording and monitoring
- Evoked-potential testing
- Surface EMG recording
- Clinical neurophysiology evaluation of brain and muscle electrical activity
- Research recording of brain and muscle signals
Practical Considerations
- These are surface electrodes and are placed on prepared skin rather than inserted into tissue.
- Available electrode sizes and configurations should be selected for the patient, recording technique, and body site.
- The electrodes should be compatible with the intended EEG, EP, or EMG recording system.
- Skin preparation and secure placement help reduce impedance and motion-related recording artifacts.
- MRI safety depends on the specific electrode materials, cables, and connected equipment; do not assume MRI compatibility without the manufacturer’s labeling.
