The data

Reusable electroencephalography cup-electrodes are characterized as semi-critical devices and require comprehensive reprocessing to prevent infections, since the skin is abraded prior to application.

A recent multi-center, prospective, microbiologic evaluation of cleaned reusable EEG cups at four epilepsy monitoring units, conducted by Nancy Albert and published in the American Journal of Infection Control in 2018, concludes that 22.6% of cleaned reusable EEG cup electrodes had bacteria that were potential or at risk for infection. Further, epithelial cells were found on 60.5% of cleaned, ready to use reusable EEGs.

The high cost of HAIs

Annually, approximately 2 million patients suffer with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in the USA alone, and nearly 90,000 are estimated to die. The overall direct cost of HAIs to hospitals ranges from US $28 billion to $45 billion. While the range is wide, HAIs are clearly expensive.

BRAINSTREAM™ Product Features

For convenience, BRAINSTREAM™ comes with pre-attached tangle-free lead wires, a 3mm cup height that allows for ample gel or paste, and a 2 mm hole that allows gel to escape during positioning and permits blunt needle insertion. An advanced silver/silver chloride sensor ensures uniform high signal quality.

The electrodes have a 10 mm diameter and positioning guides for easier placement. They are safe for use in CT and X-Ray environments.
