As medicine has evolved, there is a much greater awareness of the significance of peripheral nerve function, whether it’s neuropathy in diabetic patients or nerve injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Nerve conduction studies are still the “gold standard” diagnostic tool for the assessment of nerve problems.

Unfortunately, the traditional method of evaluating nerve function, the EMG/NCV device is arguably one of the most painful diagnostic tests that a patient can undergo. Besides the pain elicited from the exam, these tests are referred out which usually results in a 2-3 week delay in acquiring the information necessary to implement care.

Neurometrix has devised the NC-stat system which has revolutionized the way in which patients receive nerve conduction studies.

The system has three basic components:

 

1)  BIOSENSORS  -   Single use transducers with integrated biosensors that are anatomically outlined for accurate placement.

2)   MONITORS   -  Displays nerve conduction response parameters in real- time on LCD screen, and stores data for transmission.

3)   DOCKING STATION - Receives data and transmits data via fax line to a neurodiagnostic group who interprets the data and sends a detailed report back in 30 minutes.

With the NC-stat system, accurate and reliable results are available to the physician within minutes to confirm diagnosis and expedite appropriate patient care.
