Controller for neuromuscular testing
First Claim
1. A system operable to perform both evoked response potential (ERP) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) testing, the system comprising:
- a PNS testing device positionable upon a subject'"'"'s skin;
an ERP testing device configured to perform an ERP test;
a control unit device operably configured to communicate a plurality of testing control administration parameters to the testing devices, wherein the control unit deviceis operable to perform both a peripheral nervous system nerve conduction test with the PNS testing device and an evoked response potential test with the ERP testing device, andcomprises a first port that is selectively connectable to a selected one of the PNS testing device or the ERP testing device.

Abstract
A peripheral nervous system (PNS) neuromuscular disorder testing system incorporates a testing apparatus that is affixed to a patients skin, positioning a stimulus transducer (e.g., electrical contact(s), movable sharp point, etc.) into a nerve pathway of interest with an electrode and reference electrodes appropriately positioned relative thereto to measure the electrical signal produced. A wireless connection to a control box relays the data associated with the time of the stimulus and the sensed response to a diagnostic system that analyzes the waveform per selectable testing protocols with user tailorable view capabilities and data dissemination communication paths.
