EEG: choose what you want to measure
For each application you can see which system we advise. If you are unsure, we will look at your department together.
Routine EEG
Standard EEG in the clinical neurophysiology department, with video where needed. We connect both options to your electronic health record (EHR) and archive.
Long-term video EEG
Multi-day video EEG with cameras that you operate from the observation post.
Ambulatory EEG
The patient stays mobile during the recording, in the hospital or outside it.
Video EEG at home
Video EEG at the patient’s home, in a single case that your team hands over.
EEG in the ICU
An EEG at the bedside in the intensive care unit, with CerebAir or with Okti. CerebAir is intended for critically ill adult patients. The review of the EEG remains with the neurophysiologist. We advise per department.
Research
High channel counts and source localisation for research.

Software
Record, review and store in your own hospital
- Profusion
- Recording and review for EEG, with video. Profusion EEG 7 adds trending (including FFT spectrogram and aEEG) and spike and seizure detection, during or after the recording.
- neXus 360
- Database for EEG archive and research data, on a server in your own hospital.
- Persyst
- Automatic EEG analysis: seizure and spike detection and trends. Supports the neurophysiologist’s review. VCM is a distributor of Persyst.
- Curry
- Source localisation and analysis for research.
- Connection
- We connect to your hospital’s EHR and archive: patient data and worklist go in, the report comes back as a PDF. We discuss beforehand which interfaces are possible; we set up the connection together with your IT team and test it before delivery.

Safety noticesOkti calculator
How many amplifiers does your department need?
Calculate how many amplifiers your department needs with Okti, compared with separate systems from other suppliers where each application has its own system and its own spare.
A calculation model based on your input, not a measurement and not a quotation.
Calculation example: medium-sized clinical neurophysiology department
- Routine EEG2
- Video EEG3
- ICU1
- Ambulatory2
How the model comparesNumber of amplifiers, including spares, with 8 measurement locations in use at the same time
3 fewer with Okti in this calculation example (12 versus 9), under the assumptions below.
Calculation example, not a measurement and not a quotation. Assumptions: 8 measurement locations, all in use at the same time; with separate systems a spare per application (4 applications, so 4 spares); with Okti one shared spare. If you already share spares between applications, or keep fewer spares, the difference is smaller. Your spare policy determines the outcome. Cameras, observation stations and prices are not counted. Devices that are with a patient for days count as an ordinary measurement location.
EMG, EP and TCD
For EMG and EP, VCM supplies the systems from Nihon Kohden. EMG needles and electrodes fit many EMG devices, including those of other brands. Search by your device; each article states what it fits. Supplier: Friendship.
