What This Manual Covers
Blackrock Microsystems’ NeuroPlexTM E provides a compact interface from a
NeuroPortTM Electrode to Blackrock’s NeuroPort Bio-Potential Signal Processing
Systems for up to 128 channels on the E128 or 96 channels on the E96. The NeuroPlex
E is designed for high fidelity transmission and recording of extracellular spikes and local
field potentials from the brain. Blackrock Microsystems’ NeuroPlex E converts analog
signals to digital format at the recording site which can reduce noise introduced to the
signal during transmission.
This manual covers the intended use, warnings, precautions, technical specifications,
pinout, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and maintenance instructions, and warranty of
the NeuroPlex E digital headstage manufactured by Blackrock Microsystems.
Intended Use and Indications for Use
The NeuroPlex E supports recording, processing, and display of biopotential signals
from user-supplied electrodes. Biopotential signals include, but are not limited to:
Electrocorticography (ECoG), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG),
electrocardiography (ECG), electrooculography (EOG), and Evoked Potential (EP).

Warnings and Precautions
The NeuroPlex E, as part of the NeuroPort BioPotential Signal Processing System, has
the following warnings and precautions:
Warnings
Only connect NeuroPort System components to properly tested,
grounded and dedicated AC outlets to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Do not use an adapter for ungrounded wall outlets.
Do not connect the NeuroPort System to an outlet controlled by a wall
switch.
Do not use the NeuroPort System in the presence of flammable
anesthetic agents.
Avoid strong static discharges from sources like televisions or computer
monitors because it can damage the electrical parts of the system.
Keep the NeuroPort System away from liquids. Contact with water,
shower spray, or wet surfaces can lead to the patient receiving an
electrical shock.
Connection of external instruments may compromise electrical safety
compliance with IEC 60601-1.
The Digital Data Cable is long and may snag on equipment in the room.
Secure equipment in place and avoid placing in walkways or other traffic
areas.
The NeuroPlex E is attached to the NeuroPort Electrode percutaneous
connector, force applied to the NeuroPlex E will be applied to this
connector. Avoid large impacts to the device when it is attached to the
patient. Consequences can include tearing of bone screws from skull.
Do not use the NeuroPlex E (PN 10907, 10909) or Digital Data Cable (PN
11058) if the sterile barrier packaging is damaged.
Only sterile NeuroPlex Es and Digital Data Cables should be used in the
intraoperative environment. Non-sterile NeuroPlex Es and Digital Data
Cables should only be used in the postoperative environment.
Do not allow the Digital Data Cable to be pulled in such a way that it can
apply force to the NeuroPlex E.
Avoid spilling fluid onto or into the NeuroPlex E as doing so may cause
electrical damage to the device and loss of function or electrical shock.

Precautions
Read this entire manual prior to using the device.
Do not allow any object to impact the NeuroPlex E while in use.
Do not drop the NeuroPlex E when handling.
Do not use the NeuroPlex E with damaged Digital Data Cables or Digital
Data Cables that are not supplied by Blackrock Microsystems. Doing so
may damage the device.
When replacing the filament film of the device, avoid touching circuit
board components as electrostatic discharge can cause damage to the
device.
When replacing the filament film, do not overtighten the screws.
Overtightening the screws may cause poor connection between the
device and the pedestal.
Do not attempt to use the NeuroPlex E with connectors other than the
NeuroPort pedestal connector.
Do not plug the Digital Data Cable into devices other than the Digital Hub
and Blackrock Microsystems approved headstage accessories.
Avoid overtightening the NeuroPlex E when attaching to the NeuroPort
Electrode. Device damage may result.
Using the ‘Wide-Band’ filter mode on the device may cause a reduced
signal to noise ratio.
Swollen or degraded filament film may result in loss of signals.
Do not immerse devices in liquid.
Do not use a washing machine or an automated washing process (such
as an automated washer/disinfector). Doing so may damage the devices.
Do not allow contaminated devices to dry. All subsequent cleaning and
steps are facilitated by not allowing blood, body fluids, bone and tissue
debris, saline, or disinfectants to dry on used devices.
