 11 Trigno System Overview The TrignoTM Wireless Biofeedback System is a device designed to make EMG (electromyographic)  and  biofeedback  signal  detection  reliable  and  easy.  The system transmits signals from the Trigno Avanti™ sensors to a receiving base station  using  a  time-synchronized  wireless  protocol  which  minimizes  data latency across sensors. The core architecture of the Trigno System is designed to support  high fidelity  EMG signals, along  with complementary  biofeedback signals  such  as  movement  data,  force  signals,  contact  pressure  events  and timing and triggering information. The system is also capable of integrating with 3rd party lab equipment through a variety of interfaces which include analog signal  generation,  triggering  scenarios  and  digital  integration  through  the Trigno SDK (Software Development Kit) and the Trigno API (Application Program Interface). Refer to the specific component senor User Guides for operational details of these system elements.

 12 Trigno™ System User’s Guide Onboard EMG Sensor Trigno  Avanti™  sensors  support  a  low  noise,  high  fidelity  sensing  circuit  for detecting EMG (electromyographic) biofeedback signals from the surface of the skin when muscles contract.  The sensor bandwidth  can be selected between 10-850Hz  or  20-450  Hz  and  the  input  range  of  the  sensor  can  be  selected between 22mV or 11mV depending on user needs. Inertial Measurement Unit Trigno Avanti™ Sensors have a built-in 9 DOF inertial measurement unit which can  relay  acceleration,  rotation  and  earth  magnetic  field  (compass) information. Users can use this information to discern movement activity time-synchronized with the EMG signals. One of 4 ranges can be selected for each sensor to span ±2g to ±16g for accelerometer outputs and ±250°/s to ±2000°/s   for gyroscope outputs. Data Synchronization Data  from  each  sensor  and  from  each  channel  within  a  sensor  are  time synchronized over the Trigno wireless communication protocol so no time skew between data exists. A maximum of 16 sensors can stream data to a host base station at one time. Wireless Communication The Trigno wireless communication scheme offers robust data transmission for up to 16 sensors with a nominal distance of 20m. Under optimal environmental conditions  (no  RF  path  obstructions  or  interfering  sources),  this  nominal distance  can  be  notably  superseded.  The  Trigno  communication  protocol  is robust to sharing RF space with common 2.4 GHz devices such as routers, smart phones and WiFi devices. Rechargeable Battery Sensors  contain  a  sealed  rechargeable  lithium  polymer  battery  for  multiple hours of continuous use which can be extended when making use of low power modes.  Actual  duration  will  depend  on  usage  conditions.  Charge  status  is conveniently reported through the wireless communication. Sealed Enclosure The environmentally sealed enclosure protects the electronics from the ingress of liquids and other environmental elements, and provides a high standard of user safety and durability. Internal Magnetic Switch The Trigno Avanti sensors are equipped with an internal magnetic switch which is used to perform RF pairing operations and can be used to the turn the sensors off. To activate the internal magnetic switch, the sensor must be placed on the magnet label located on the Base Station charging cradle. The internal magnetic switch will only react when the software is performing an RF pairing operation,
 13 or if it is exercised within 3 seconds of pulling a sensor out of a charging pocket. Exposure to any magnetic fields outside of these 2 qualifying conditions will be ignored by the sensor. The internal magnetic switch is a feature which removes the  need  for  a  mechanical  button  resulting  in  improvements  to  sensor durability and performance.  Sensor LED Feedback States Trigno Avanti  sensors  indicate  their  status through various LED  Arrow  colors and  blink  patterns  as  indicated  in  the  table  below.

 15 Getting Started with the Trigno System Software Installation The Trigno EMG system is controlled by a PC through the USB port, and thus requires  software.  Trigno  Systems  include  a  Delsys  Software  DVD  containing EMGworks  Signal  Acquisition  and  Analysis  Software  for  interacting  with  the system   Install EMGworks from the Delsys Software DVD or from www.delsys.com prior to connecting the Trigno Base Station to the computer. Powering the Base Station Trigno Systems  are  equipped  with  a  universal  medical  power  supply  and  are provided  with  interchangeable  country-specific  plug  adapters.  Connect  the Trigno  power  supply  to  the  circular  DC  jack  located  on  the  side  of  the  Base Station. Energize the power supply by connecting it to a Mains outlet or to an isolation  transformer.  The  power  LED  on  the  Base  Station  will  illuminate anytime power is applied.     Trigno  System  are  specifically  designed  and  approved  to function  only  with  the  Power  Supply  provided.  Power  Supply substitutions  constitute  a  violation  of  the  medical  safety approvals and will void the warranty.   Figure 1: Connecting the SC-P05 power supply to the Base Station. Charging the Sensors All sensors are fitted with a sealed lithium polymer cell and are charged with the  provided  base  station  powered  from  a  universal  medical  grade  power supply.  A  full  charge  will  generally  require  3  hours  or  less  to  complete, depending on the battery age, usage history and particular charge conditions. The sensor arrow will glow amber during charging and illuminate green upon charge completion.  It is  recommended  to  keep  sensors docked  and  charging
 16 Trigno™ System User’s Guide even when not in use in order to maximize battery life, as sensor batteries will self-discharge with time and will degrade if left uncharged for extended periods of time.      Figure 2: Docking a sensor in the charge cradle (left). When docked, sensors will turn off and begin battery charging indicated by an amber LED indicator. Once fully charged, the sensor LED indicator shows green (right). Battery Performance Battery  performance  and  longevity  is  subject  to  a  myriad  of  factors,  which include  charge/discharge  conditions,  usage  scenarios,  number  of charge/discharge  cycles,  environmental  temperature  factors,  and  cell manufacturing  parameters  which  are  subject  to  statistical  variations.  Typical industry expectations assume an 80% charge capacity derating after 2-years or 300  charge/discharge  cycles.  Sensors  are  equipped  with  battery  charge monitoring  and  automatic  sensor  turn  off  when  charge  is  depleted  to  avoid deep  discharge  scenarios.  Storage  at  temperature  outside  the  5-40°C  may damage the battery.  Turning the Sensor ON Trigno Avanti sensors are automatically turned on when they are removed from a  powered  charging  dock.  The  sensors  must  be  docked  for  a  minimum  of  3 seconds in the charge cradle in order for the self-powering scheme to activate upon undocking.
 17 Figure 3: Ensure sensors are docked and charging for a minimum of 3 seconds and then removed from the charge cradle to turn on. Turning the Sensors OFF There are 4 mechanisms that will turn the sensors off: a)  Dock  Sensors  in  Charger:  docking  the  sensors  in  the  charge  cradle  will automatically  turn  the  wireless communication  system of  the sensor  off  and engage the battery charging circuit. b)  Undock  and  Activate  Magnetic  Switch:  Sensors  can  be  turned  off  by activating the internal magnetic switch within 3 seconds of undocking a sensor from an active charge pocket.   c) Dock  and  Undock Sensors <3s:  Docking and undocking the sensors in less than 3 seconds  will turn the  sensors off. Plugging  and unplugging  the  power connector within 3 seconds will turn off all docked sensors. d) Software  Issued  Command: Sensors that are paired  with the base station and are communicating with the host software application can be turned off by way of an “off” command sent from the software application. Please refer to the software user guide for more information.         Pairing the Sensors with the Base Station Data  acquisition  functions  of  the  sensor,  wireless  transmission  to  the  base station  and  data  transfer  from  the  base  station  to  the  software  require  the sensors to be paired to the base station. The pairing process links the unique ID of the sensor to the unique ID of the base station to establish a wireless data link.  Pairing  information  is  retained  after  the  base  station  and  sensors  are powered  off.  Pairing  is  initiated  through  the  software  pairing  command  and completed  by  activating  the  internal  magnetic  switch  in  the  sensor.  The magnetic switch in the sensor is activated by tapping the sensor over the built-in magnet of the base station. b) d) a) c)
 18 Trigno™ System User’s Guide    Acquiring Data with the System Refer to the software user guide and help information for detailed explanation of  software  functions.  Data  collection  and  sensors  configuration  is  initiated through the software. Configuring the Trigno Sensors Once  paired  to  the  system,  EMG  data  and  IMU  data  from  sensor  can  be configured in the following ways:  Electromyographic (EMG) Sensing Ranges Input Range 11 mV or 22 mV Bandwidth 20-450 Hz or   10-850 Hz Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Ranges Accelerometer ±2 g or ±4 g or ±8 g or ±16 g Gyroscope ±250 dps or ±500 dps or ±1000 dps or ±2000 dps  Note that the magnetometer has a fixed range of ±4900uT.  a) c) b)
 19 Using the Wireless EMG Sensors Orienting the EMG Sensors on the Skin Trigno EMG Sensors employ 4 silver bar contacts for detecting the EMG signal at  the  skin  surface.  For  maximum  signal  amplitude,  it  is  important  to  orient these bars perpendicular to the muscle fiber direction. The top of the sensor is shaped with an arrow to aid in the determination of this orientation. The arrow should  be  placed  parallel  to  the  muscle  fibers  underneath  the  sensor.  The sensor  should  also  be  placed  in  the  center  of  the  muscle  belly  away  from tendons and the edge of the muscle. The sensor is easily attached to the skin using the Delsys Adhesive Sensor Interface.   Figure  6. EMG Sensors must be properly  oriented  with the muscle fibers. Align  the sensor’s arrow with the direction of the underlying muscle fibers.  Cleaning the Sensor Site Prior to affixing the EMG sensor on the surface of the skin, the sensor site must be properly cleaned to remove dry dermis and any skin oils.    Wiping the skin prior to sensor application helps ensure a high quality signal. If excessive hair is present, it will also be necessary to shave the site. In cases where the skin is excessively dry, it may be useful to dislodge dry skin cells by dabbing the site with  medical  tape.  The  dry  cells  will  attach  the  tape’s  adhesive  when  it  is removed.  Be  sure  to  wipe  with  isopropyl  alcohol  to  remove  any  adhesive residue that may remain. Applying the Trigno Adhesive Skin Interfaces Trigno  System  are  supplied  with  specially-designed  adhesive  interfaces  to simplify sensor attachment. These hypo-allergenic interfaces are manufactured from medical grade adhesive approved for dermatological applications. Usage of  the  interface  promotes  a  high  quality  electrical  connection  between  the sensor bars and the skin, minimizing motion artifacts and the ill-effects of line interference.  To  ensure  a  strong  bond  with  the  skin,  it  is  advised  to  remove excessive  hair  and  wipe  the  skin  area  and  the  EMG  Sensor  with  isopropyl muscle-fiber direction
 20 Trigno™ System User’s Guide alcohol to remove oils and surface residues. Allow the skin to dry completely before applying the interfaces.  Adhesive Sensor Interfaces are for single use only.  Immediately discontinue use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs. All  Adhesive  Sensor  Interfaces  and  Reference  Electrodes  are  for single use only. Discard after using. Reseal storage bag to maintain freshness.  Do not use on Patients with allergies to silver.  Do not apply over open wounds or irritated skin.

 27 Appendix I Mains Isolation The Trigno Base Station is provided with Medical Grade isolated power supply which is compliant with IEC60601 series of harmonized standards for Medical Devices.  However,  full  compliance  with  IEC60601-1  Basic  Safety  for  Medical Devices requires that  the  PC  operating  the software be isolated as well. This stems from the basic requirement to have all patients electrically isolated from equipment within their reach, and since the PC running the Trigno Software is conceivably within their reach, it too must be isolated.     Delsys  does  not  supply  isolation  transformers  for  Personal Computers and their peripherals.  Delsys  recommends  model  IS1000HG  manufactured  by  Tripp  Lite (www.tripplite.com)  for  this  task.  This  device  is  a  medial  grade isolation transformer capable of delivering up to 1000 W. A smaller similar version for 500W is also available (IS500HG). Similar products compliant with IEC60601-1 are acceptable.
