MEB-2300K

EMG/EP Measuring System

Technical Data
DESIGN FEATURES
The Neuropack MEB-2300K EMG/EP Measuring
System measures and averages EMG, electric/
auditory/visual evoked potential and nerve conduc-
tion.* The MEB-2300K system software operates on
Microsoft® Windows.
Newly designed 6 and 12 channel amplifiers
The new amplifiers provide high quality waveforms.
Electrode junction box
2 types of electrode junction boxes can be selected.
JB-206B (6 channels)
JB-212B (12 channels)
18 bit A/D conversion
18 bit A/D conversion provides high fidelity wave-
forms.
Newly designed active electrode (option)
An active electrode reduces artifact noise from the
electric stimulator.
Compact and easy to use electric stimulator,
Somato control box, RY-230B (option)
The stimulator has dials to adjust the stimulation
intensity and give electric stimulation. You can pre-
set several function.
Operation panel, PV-230B
Dedicated ergonomic design control panel for MEB-
2300 enables you to operate machine easily. This
control panel has all the necessary buttons for EMG/
EP examinations procedure.
Easy database management
NeuroWorkbench software makes it easier to man-
age examination schedules, edit measurement files
and archive the measurement files in the database.
NeuroReport
The program has various item templates for reports.
Reports are saved in a database and you can
quickly search for reports by patient information,
measurement values and other criteria. After gener-
ating a report, you can export a report as a PDF file.
Data saving in a built-in hard disk, CD-RW or
DVD-RW disk
Measured waveforms and data can be saved in
disks. Saved waveforms and data can be displayed
on the screen.
Data compatibility among Neuropack series
instruments
The MEB-2300 can read disk data from other
Neuropack series instrument - MEB-2200, MEB-
2300, MEB-9100, MEB-9200/9300 and MEB-9400.
