Options & AccessoriesNURSE STATION ALARMThe Nurse Station Alarm (NSA) is an optional accessory foracquisition systems typically used in a Long-term SeizureMonitoring environment. The purpose of NSA is to alert staff ofpatient conditions associated with seizure monitoringprocedures:• Patient Pushbutton Events• Seizure Detections made by SzAC software• Patient Cable DisconnectsThe NSA is a multi-bed system which allows a single station tocommunicate with multiple recording systems over the network.The communication between the NSA and the acquisitionsystem is two-way, allowing nurses’ station staff to also markPushbutton Events, which will get annotated with the EEG recording.The notification consistsof both a visual indicatorvia a flashing display onthe PC monitor and anaudio indicator via thePC’s audio speakers.Although referred to asthe Nurse Station Alarm,NSA can be installed onother PCs outside of the nurses’ station, or on the acquisitionsystem itself. Multiple PCs running the NSA software can functionindependently and communicate with either the same or differentacquisition systems, as long as they are on the same network. Forexample, a centralized seizure monitoring unit may monitor patientsboth in an adult area and in a pediatric area. The NSA in the adultnurses’ station will only notify the staff of events associated with theadult patients. The NSA in the pediatric nurses’ station will onlynotify the staff of events associated with the pediatric patients.DOME CAMERA SOFTWARE CONTROLAn optional ceiling-mounted dome camera* video system isavailable. Compact and unobtrusive, the camera produces qualitycolor video images with proper patient room lighting, but willautomatically switch to black and white during lights-off conditions(an infrared illuminator is recommended).The pan, tilt, zoom and focus control of thecamera is via Grass Technologies’ optionalCamera Control Software, with an intuitiveon-screen user interface. The camera can becontrolled from the acquisition system itself,or from any other PC on the network (forexample, the Nurse Station Alarm PC). A dropdown“camera” menu allows staff to selectwhich camera to control. Any camera can becontrolled from any PC on the network.*Wall-mount and monopod/cart-mounted options are also available.To assist with patient care, Grass Technologies offers additionalhardware options, like a LAN controlled Relay Unit for interfacing toexisting hospital Nurse Call Systems or for control of indicator lightsabove the patient room door.SpecificationsMonitoring CapabilityConnectionsVolumeVisualToneEnable/DisableResetEvent ButtonCommunicationUnlimited number of Beehives can be monitored for alarms.However, a larger display monitor (or a second PC and monitor) isrecommended when monitoring more than 8 Beehive systemsNurse Station Alarm PC must be connected to same network as theBeehives, TCP/IP protocolAdjustable via volume control of speakers or via Windowsvolume adjustIndicates type of alarm: SzAC Event (automatic seizure recognition),Pushbutton, Patient DisconnectUser defined for each event.
