Featuring the only tDCS 1X1 system validated for high intensity applications
The Soterix Medical 1×1 is the standard clinical device when accuracy and safety cannot be compromised. Open-Panel™ control panel allows for simple configuration and monitoring. Exclusive features including SmartScan™, RELAX™ and TrueCurrent™ ensure every run is successful.
Proven for safe and tolerable tDCS: Higher intensity stimulation is possible using a combination of stimulator and our accessories.
Stimulation precision and control
The Soterix Medical 1×1 platform is the most accurate tDCS technology available. Built into every 1×1 device are the most advanced monitoring and control systems, updating performance and feedback over 1000 times per second. The fidelity of the stimulation output (signal-to-noise) is maintained throughout the entire stimulation session, even if electrode conditions change. Precise control of the output waveform is essential for pacing effectiveness and safety.
Clinical trials with Soterix Medical 1×1 tDCS eliminate uncertainty about device output and ensure results are meaningful and reproducible. *

Simple to use – Open-Panel ™
In developing the 1×1, feed-back from leading clinical centers was clear: stimulation must be simple to program and its status must always be apparent to the investigator. With a simple press of a button to set stimulation duration and intensity, and back-lit status displays visible in dim or bright room light, the Soterix Medical Open-Panel™ design takes the guess work out of the stimulation.
Characteristics
Every Soterix Medical 1×1 feature was developed by our team of biomedical engineers, in partnership with leading clinical centres. Designed for simple setup, provide intelligent warning of a fault condition, and allow adjustments for patient comfort, these features facilitate reliable, tolerated tDCS. The Soterix Medical SmartScan™ feature is central to all tDCS devices to enable reliable setup and monitoring. RELAX™, Tickle™ and TrueCurrent™ innovations were developed for tDCS 1×1.
SMARTscan
Provides a continuous visual indication of lead quality before and during stimulation.
From pre-stimulation setup, during stimulation monitoring, to post-stimulation confirmation, the Soterix Medical SmartScan™ feature provides an intuitive and clear indication of electrode contact quality. Use SmartScan™ during setup to adjust the electrodes and main gear for an optimal fit. During stimulation, SmartScan™ provides a constant indication of electrode quality and can be monitored during adjustments (e.g., adding saline to drying electrodes). After stimulation, SmartScan™ confirms a successful attempt. As "resistance" is not significant for tDCS, SmartScan™ was developed by Soterix Medical engineers to provide clinical investigators with an easy-to-read indication of contact quality.
TRUE CURRENT
It clearly indicates the actual current delivered at the moment.
What other devices promise, the tDCS 1×1 delivers. The backlit display can be monitored during acceleration of stimulation to confirm that the desired current intensity has been achieved.
TICKLE
Can be used to deliver a very weak current before tDCS to help condition the skin.
Tickle™ can be used to condition skin prior to tDCS and for naive individuals who are anxious about stimulation. A custom on-off waveform pattern generates a light, brief sensation under the electrodes.
TO RELAX
Allows clinician to use sliders to temporarily decrease or increase current from preset value, e.g. based on subject feedback.
Based on feedback from leading clinical centers, Soterix Medical's unique RELAX™ feature accommodates individuals who may be anxious when stimulation is initiated or during the course of stimulation. The RELAX™ level can be adjusted from full to reduced intensity based on the subject's perception, without interrupting or aborting stimulation.o.
AUTO SHAM
Simple and smart sham waveforms.
A simulated automatic stimulation feature that is activated via a simple switch. Auto-sham calculated automatically and outputs a sham waveform based on the "real" waveform entered. For example, for a corresponding real waveform of 1.5 mA and 10 minutes. auto-sham will ramp up/down to 1.5 mA at the start of stimulation, and again after 10 minutes, with the timer automatically adjusted so that the total run time exactly matches the real case. Based on the Soterix Medical Open-Panel™ design principle: no complicated programming or hidden drop-down menus required.
toDCS
Transcranial oscillating direct current stimulation.
Order this special mode for the only devices designed for accurate modulated direct current stimulation. toDCS includes all the features of the standard 1×1 tDCS, but only provides oscillating direct current waveforms. Most.
LTE-CT
Limited total energy for clinical trials.
Same advanced power management system used in 1×1-Clinical Trial devices, available only by special request in 1×1-tDCS. CT-LTE provides a unique power and voltage limited technology exclusive to Soterix Medical. For conventional LTE, limited to 1.5 mA, use the 1×1-LTE tDCS model.
⁺EEG
Lowest noise tDCS device ever for combination with EEG recording.
Only available by special request, the +EEG mode on the 1×1-tDCS is a unique device specially designed for combination with EEG recording. All standard 1×1-tDCS devices already provide industry standard accuracy and low noise output control. The 1×1-tDCS +EEG mode is a unique product only for EEG application where "floor level" noise is required from the simulator for theoretically maximized EEG S/N.

Monitoring technology compatibility
With increased interest in using monitoring such as EEG, PET, MEG, eye tracking, NIR and fMRI in conjunction with tDCS, Soterix Medical remains the only company with the technology and experience to ensure a successful integration. Stimulation generates artifacts in all monitoring modalities, including fMRI (Antal A et. al 2012), so using technically compatible devices without also integrating rational assay design can lead to erroneous results.
Soterix Medical biomedical engineers are available to discuss combining rational measurement with our industry standard 1×1 platform. And only Soterix Neurotargeting allows co-registration of current flow and measured responses

Fully compatible and expandable with all Soterix
Each 1×1 accessory is optimized for simple and consistent setup, robust and secure performance, and ease of use. Since "one size doesn't fit all" in tES, the 1x1 accessory set gives you the flexibility to optimize performance. From EASYpads™ to EASYstraps™, Soterix Medical 1×1 accessories are designed and validated specifically for the 1×1 platform. Our scientific team is ready to help you select the best set of accessories to make your 1×1 the most optimized platform and adjustable to any application.
tDCS Software
Optimizing lead assembly for brain targeting and individual subject customization has never been easier than with Soterix Medical's Neurotargeting software. Recognizing that placing an electrode "over" a target does not support rational tDCS design, the Soterix Medical Suite of software tools allows for simple, automatic optimization. Soterix Neurotargeting software also provides high resolution current flow visualization that can be used to support publications, presentations and proposals..
