Patent ID: 8682409

Claim:
An MR conditional electrode assembly comprising: a) a plurality of generally cylindrical, rigid electrode body structures each having a periphery and a bottom surface and constructed of an MR conditional material, each said electrode body structure being marked with a marking selected from the group of markings consisting of a number, a letter and a number/letter combination; b) an insulated flexible lead wire structure extending from each said generally cylindrical structure, each said flexible lead wire structure including a signal carrying wire and a reinforcement wire disposed in a generally parallel arrangement within each said insulated flexible lead wire structure, each said lead wire structure having a color; c) a plug connected to the terminal end of said insulated flexible lead wire structure, each said plug being constructed for connection to an EEG assembly and being marked with a marking corresponding to said marking on said electrode body structure; and d) a quick disconnect device constructed to receive a plurality of lead wire structures and interposed between each said generally cylindrical body structure and said plug at said terminal end of each said insulated flexible lead wire structure, said quick disconnect device being constructed to receive said plurality of lead wire structures in an aligned configuration so that at said quick disconnect device each said lead wire structure remains in an aligned, parallel configuration with respect to each other and wherein said color of each said leadwire structure visually aids in the connection of said quick disconnect device.
