Background: The StatNet electrode set is a system that can be applied by a non-electroencephalogram (EEG) technologist after minimal training. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the quality and reliability of the StatNet recordings in comparison to the conventional EEG. Methods: Over 10 months, 19 patients with suspected nonconvulsive status epilepticus were included from university hospital emergency settings. Each patient received a StatNet EEG by a trained epilepsy fellow and a conventional EEG by registered technologists. We compared the studies in a blinded fashion, for the timeframe from EEG order to the setup time, start of acquisition, amount of artifact, and detection of abnormalities. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney two-sample t test was used for comparisons. The kappa score was used to assess reliability. Results: Mean age of patients was 6116.3 (25-93) years. The inter-observer agreement for detection of abnormal findings was 0.83 for StatNet and 0.75 for conventional EEG. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus was detected in 10% (2/19) in both studies. The delay from the time of EEG requisition to acquisition was shorter in the StatNet (22.4 +/- 2.5 minutes) than the conventional EEG (217.7 +/- 44.6 minutes; p
