The SEDLine System is Hospira's next generation brain monitor. It is a patient-connected, 4-channel processed electroencephalograph (EEG) monitor designed specifically for intraoperative or intensive care use. It displays:

  • Electrode Status
  • EEG Waveforms
  • Density Spectral Array (DSA)
  • SEDLine PSI trend Plots

The PSI is a proprietary computed EEG variable that is related to the effect of anesthetic agents. The operator controls the unit using both a menu and dedicated buttons and keys to select various display options.

The system consists of four major components:

  • SEDLine Monitor
  • SEDLine Patient Module
  • SEDLine Patient Cable
  • SEDTrace EEG Electrode Set

SEDLine Monitor

The Monitor, the main component of the SEDLine System, processes, analyzes, and displays EEG signals. It also serves as the system-user interface.

The Monitor consists of an enclosure housing a system computer, color display panel, and front and rear panels. The front panel contains the controls and indicators that constitute the user interface. The Monitor incorporates a rechargeable batter, providing 40 minutes of backup power if there is a main power loss.

Patient Module

The Patient Module acquires analog EEG signals from the SEDTrace sensor, converts EEG signals to digital data, and then transfers the data to the Monitor for processing, analysis, and display.

The Patient Module connects to the Monitor via the Patient Module cable. The Monitor provides power to the Patient Module, which conditions and isolates power.

SEDLine Patient Cable

The SEDLine Patient Cable, which connects the SEDTrace to the Patient Module, is a reusable device; do not discard.

The cable transfers analog EEG signals collected from the patient to the Patient Module for processing. The EEG signals can then be displayed on the Monitor.

SEDTrace EEG Electrode Set

SEDTrace, which is applied to the head of a patient, consists of a plastic strip with gelled electrodes. This is a single-use, nonsterile product to ensure appropriate patient protection from cross-contamination. SEDTrace collects EEG signals from the patient. The SEDTrace EEG Electrode Set is latex free.
