INTENSIVE CARE UNITS

In intensive care unit (ICU) conditions the equipment has to be often moved within the unit due to the work specifics. That is when the device size and weight matters.

Skybox is a compact yet powerful 5-channel NCS, EMG and multi-modality EP system with a built-in keyboard. It can be easily carried from room to room and taken to a patient visit outside hospital.

Portable design

Amplifiers, stimulators, dedicated keyboard and ergonomic interface are implemented within one book-sized unit. Skybox features stationary and portable configurations. The stationary configuration implies that the device is fixed on a stand that is easily moved along the patient’s bed during the exam while a computer and accessories are placed on the medical trolley supplied with the device. Portable configuration of Skybox fits in a small bag together with a notebook and is perfect for on-site examinations.

Power supply via USB

The device is connected to a computer via the USB cable which is also used for power supply and data transfer.

Multi-modality EP

Sometimes electromyography cannot answer all diagnostic questions. Often a neurophysiologist should also study the evoked potentials. This is especially important in ICUs where patient communication may be difficult. Skybox has built-in stimulators to record EP of all modalities. Besides, the full-featured software makes this process fast and easy.
