Digital electroencephalography (EEG) is rapidly replacing paper-based, analog EEG for a number of reasons, e.g., improved convenience, reduced cost (of paper and paper storage or microfilming records) and enhanced flexibility of recording and display. With increasingly widespread use of digital EEG technology from multiple manufacturers, there is a need for minimal standards for such equipment in patient care settings. This document represents a set of minimal standards for such technology and its utilization, as approved by the EEG Section of the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists at its annual general meeting in June of 1998.
