Neuropack X1 EP/EMG/NCV Measuring System MEB-2300 Desktop System For more than 60 years, healthcare providers Optional Software worldwide have relied on the quality and Packages: reliability of the Nihon Kohden line of • QP-219: Review Station Software • QP-258: Trending Software comprehensive and innovative neuro- • QP-259: Autonomic Nervous System Testing (Microneurogram, R-R Interval, diagnostic and -monitoring instrumentation Sympathetic Skin Response) to aid in the diagnosis, information and • QP-260: Event Related Potential (P300, MRCP, CNV) treatment of their patients. The MEB-2300 is the latest and most advanced EP/EMG system in the Nihon Mobile Control Low Noise Kohden product portfolio. Available with either a six or twelve channel amplifier and up to two electrical Panel Amplifier stimulators, the MEB is designed with numerous time-saving features to maximize the user’s workflow without compromising the integrity of data acquisition. Basic exam software including EMG, NCS, SEP, ABR and VEP protocols come standard with the MEB-2300. The new examination list creates a seamless integration of protocols, patients and reports, increasing Operation Panel PV-230 Six Channel JB-206 productivity and reducing test time. The mobile function keypad enables the user The MEB-2300 uses a low noise amplifier to complete an entire exam without the with active electrodes to provide clean use of a keyboard or mouse. This simple waveforms easily and quickly. An control panel contains the main operation integrated impedance check can be buttons seen in previous models, “monitor- activated with the touch of a button from stimulate-analysis-stop and store,” with added the amplifier to ensure properly placed key features such as function keys, a number and seated electrodes. pad and NeuroWorkbench® controls.
