NCG-ENGAGE HR*

Biofeedback system for heart rate determination

NCG-ENGAGE HR* is a biofeedback device according to the FDA Regulation Number 882.5050. The device allows the researcher to measure the heart rate during TMS of the DLPFC (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex). The primary objective of the NCG-ENGAGE HR* device is to systematically gauge and document heart rate metrics.

  • Easy-to-use ECG cable for safe recording during TMS

  • Touch screen to show data and user interaction

  • Stimulation output ECG stored on SD card (EDF+ format)

  • Connecting cables for receiving the trigger from different TMS devices

Technical Data
  • R wave detection sensitivity 99.9 %
  • R wave specificity 99.1 % (own data bases without TMS artefacts)
  • 24 bit resolution / SNR > 90 dB / noise RTI < 15 μVpp
  • ECG input for neuroConn‘s ECG cable
  • input for medical DC power supply
  • trigger input (BNC 5V TTL)
  • SD card: speed class ≥ 10 / memory capacity ≥ 16 GB / reading speed ≥ 90 MB/s / writing speed ≥ 45 MB/s

The NCG-ENGAGE HR* provides robust R wave detection:
1.) ECG 2.) TMS 3.) detected R waves

Features
  • touch display for presenting data and user interaction
  • easy-to-use ECG cable for safe recording during TMS
  • connecting cables for receiving the trigger from different TMS devices
  • TMS trigger and ECG stored on SD card (EDF+ format)
