- User-Friendly Design: The device is designed with a high-contrast display, intuitive interface, and soft-touch buttons.
Netech Corp, a manufacturer of biomedical test instruments, is introducing its newest product, a stand-alone electroencephalogram (EEG) simulator: MiniSim EEG 2000.
The hand-held patient simulator is designed to simulate six different kinds of EEG waveforms: alpha, theta, gamma, delta, and beta brain waves, along with auditory brain response (ABR) waves. MiniSim EEG 2000 is the latest version of the company’s MiniSim EEG.
With 16 independent signal outputs, MiniSim EEG 2000 makes it easy for healthcare professionals to confirm the precision of various EEG monitoring devices, including recorders, sleep study monitors, and multi-channel EEG monitoring systems, according to a release from the company. This, in turn, facilitates the accurate monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of patients.
Expanding Netech’s Line of Patient Simulators
“We have been serving the biomedical community worldwide since 1987, and we are excited to add MiniSim EEG 2000 to our growing line of patient simulators,” says Mohan Das, PhD, founder and CEO of Netech Corp, in a release. “This one-of-a-kind instrument highlights our commitment to providing the biomedical community with reliable instruments for the accurate testing and calibration of various patient care equipment.”
The EEG simulator is also capable of measuring electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms, along with performance waveforms, such as sine, square, and triangle. The unit serves the function of helping ensure that the EEG machine being used for patients is in tolerance.
MiniSim EEG 2000 Design
MiniSim EEG 2000 has a compact, lightweight, user-friendly design, according to a release from the company. MiniSim EEG 2000’s display incorporates a high-contrast 128×64 LCD with LED backlighting for easy viewing. Its keypad features soft-touch tactile buttons that offer dedicated key functions. It also has an interactive menu-driven interface designed to make it easy for users to select from a variety of functions. In addition, the product has patented EEG cup electrodes, and it operates on a rechargeable battery.
Patient simulators—also referred to as physiological simulators or vital sign rhythm generators—are tools for biomedical personnel to evaluate and verify the performance of patient monitoring systems. Essentially, a human patient simulator mimics physiological parameters, such as ECG, arrhythmia waveforms, blood pressure, respiration, and temperature. Netech Corp currently offers four models of patient simulators, with MiniSim EEG 2000 being the latest creation in this group of devices.
