A few words from our customers who gladly shared their experience with us.
Paul J. Dionne, R. EEG T.
“Brigham and Women’s EEG/Epilepsy department has been using the reusable MRI/CT compatible electrodes for over 10 years now. We use them routinely for all ICU 24-hour EEG monitoring and in other nursing units throughout the hospital. We have found them to be reliable; and the multi use sets are easy to fix should a single electrode need to be swapped out of the connector block. The color coded disconnection points, which are located directly on top of the patient’s head, also make it very easy for nursing staff to disconnect the patient at any time.”   
Joseph Cohen, R. EEG T.
“First and foremost I must speak to the level of customer service Ives has provided, in particular to customization. They have always been receptive and quick to adapt their product to our specific needs; in particular to lead length, specialty leads, and harness adaptations. Their ability to customize to our needs has been the very reason that they now account for over 90% of our Long Term Monitoring electrodes used from neonatal to adult populations. They are durable enough to withstand our 10 day vasospasm monitoring protocol, and strong enough to withstand multiple re-applications when removed due to outside influences.”
Coretta Shields, R. EEG/EP T.
“Rush University Medical Center Department of Neurology EEG/EMU division has been successfully using Ives disposable EEG Electrodes for several years. We obtain quality recordings in the EMU and the ICU departments. The use of the disposable electrodes has increased the productivity of our department by eliminating the time it takes to clean and process the reusable electrodes. We also have significantly reduced the cost of cleaning supplies. I would recommend the use of Ives disposable electrodes.”

Why people believe in us

“I have been doing ICU long-term monitoring since back when we used analog machines and gold leads and we would record 10 minutes every hour. Then came digital machines and the Ives MRI/CT compatible leads! We put them on every ICU LTM we do, which is about 80/month. They save valuable time and money, and there is less down time for the recordings and less infections for the patients.”
Vicki Sexton, BS, R. EEG/EP T., R.NCS.T., CLTM, CNCT

“I'm very pleased with the Ives Electrode System, as are the nurses who connect and disconnect the electrodes frequently. We have a very good relationship between the physicians, nursing staff, MRI, and CT\PET Scan technologist, who have become familiar with the system.”
Conrad Szeliga, R. EEG T., CLTM
UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital
“We have been using the Ives Conductive Plastic Electrodes (CPE's) for several years now. Our neuro critical care patients are often sent for imaging during the middle of their EEG recordings. The Ives CPE's have been in our MRI (2T and 3T) and CT scanners many times without any injury, slight or serious, to the patients; and without complaints from the technical staff in radiology.” 
Ralph Nowacki, R. EEG/EP T., CLTM
University of California San Diego (UCSD)
“The Neurophysiology department of Emory University Hospital began a search in 2005 for an alternative to gold scalp electrodes in our ICU EEG monitoring lab. Ives provided us with many designs for beta testing and it wasn’t until 2007 that we reached a mutual manufacturing/design product which we continue to use for more than 600 studies/year.”
