Automated apparatus for analyzing and eliminating non-physiological noise
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11986321B2) discloses an innovative apparatus designed for the automated analysis of evoked potentials in patients. The apparatus includes stimulating electrodes to activate peripheral nerves, recording electrodes to capture electrophysiological responses, and a processor programmed with an automated evoked potential analysis algorithm. This algorithm is capable of monitoring, detecting, identifying, and eliminating non-physiological artifact noise in the nervous system's electrical waveforms generated in response to stimulation. By determining the presence of ambient electrical noise or artifact noise, the processor can classify and remove unwanted signals, generate averaged evoked potential signals, and provide positioning effect information about the patient.
Furthermore, the apparatus detailed in the patent includes features such as the identification of pacing artifact noise from pacemakers, the utilization of specific characteristics like slope and amplitude for noise detection, and the transmission of positioning effect information for display or alerts. The stimulating electrodes can be attached to the patient's arms and legs, while recording electrodes can be placed on various body parts like the head, neck, spine, arms, legs, and torso. The collection of signals used for generating averaged evoked potential signals excludes those containing non-physiological artifact noise, ensuring accurate and reliable analysis of the patient's electrophysiological responses. This patented technology represents a significant advancement in automated evoked potential analysis, offering enhanced precision and efficiency in clinical settings.
