The system measures and displays electric/auditory/visual evoked potential (EP), electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG), skin temperature of distal portion of extremities, SpO2, and ETCO2 to provide health care professionals with information to help assess a patient's neurological status. The system is used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders and used for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency. · EEG - The device may also measure and record the electrical activities of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head (EEG). · EP-Electrical/ Auditory/ Visual - Continuous and/or periodic measurements of evoked potential activities are displayed and stored. The device applies an electrical stimulus to a patient through commercially available skin electrodes for the purpose of measuring the evoked response. The photic stimulator is used to generate and display a shifting pattern or to apply a brief light stimulus to a patient's eye and the auditory stimulator produces a sound stimulus for use in evoked response measurements or electroencephalogram activation.

The system measures and displays electric/auditory/visual evoked potential (EP), electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG), skin temperature of distal portion of the extremities, SpO2 and ETCO2. The system also measures and displays nerve conduction time by applying a stimulus to a patient's peripheral nerve. The system includes the stimulator and the electronic processing equipment for measuring and displaying the nerve conduction time. The system uses electrical stimulus, visual stimulus, or sound stimulus in evoked responses measurements (EP). Continuous and/or periodic measurements of evoked potential activities are displayed and stored. The system applies an electrical stimulus to a patient through skin electrodes for the purpose of measuring the evoked response. The photic stimulator is used to generate and display a shifting light pattern or to apply a brief light stimulus for use in evoked response measurements or electroencephalogram activation. The system may measure and record the electrical activities of the patient's brain obtained by placing two or more electrodes on the head (EEG). The system can be used as a nerve stimulator for surgical procedures and brain mapping during treatment of patients with seizure disorders and used for intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction {7}------------------------------------------------ brought about by mechanical trauma (traction, shearing, laceration, or compression) or vascular insufficiency. The system can be connected to SpO2 and ETCO2 sensors to display the patient's oxygen saturation values as measured by pulse oximetry and CO2 values respectively throughout the procedure. The acquired waveforms are displayed in cascaded format and measurement data may be displayed on the trend graph with waveform annotations (events). The acquired waveforms with the measurement data can be saved to a large capacity storage media. The data can be printed directly on paper, printed to portable document format (pdf), and/or archived to other locations. The Neuromaster G1 MEE2000 System consists of at minimum a main unit (DC-200B), an amp unit (JB-232B), one breakout box (JB-210B), four stimulation pods [JS-201B(A), JS-202B (B), JS-203B (C), JS-204B (D)], and a computer (CC-201BK) with specific software. There are several standard and optional accessories such as cables, connectors, SpO2 probes, ETCO2 sensors, and various types of electrodes and leads.
