Abstract:
A testing device to test the functioning of an ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) instrument; the ECT instrument performing EEG (electroencephalograph) and EMG (electromyograph) analysis, the testing device comprising:(a) a casing, and within the casing;(b) at least one EEG connector adapted to receive an EEG lead from the ECT instrument, EEG circuit means connected to the EEG connector to generate electrical wave forms that simulate the brain waves of a patient undergoing ECT in order to test the EEG analysis of the ECT instrument;(c) at least one EMG connector adapted to receive an EMG from the ECT instrument, EMG circuit means connected to the EMG connector to generate electrical wave forms that simulate the muscle activity of a patient undergoing ECT in order to test the EMG analysis of the ECT instrument.
