Advantages of the NC-Stat System

1. Rapid In-Office Diagnosis
   • Standard nerve conduction testing equipment
   • Device provides real-time data and waveform analysis
   • Automated system
     • Operated by allied health or nursing staff
     • Studies typically completed in 15-25 minutes
   • Real-time computer generated report
     • Report is straightforward to read
     • Patient is diagnosed by the physician who clinically examines the patient and supervises the nerve conduction study
     • Physician use computer report and their clinical evaluation to diagnose patient
   • Test results meet clinical standards and payer guidelines


2. Proven Accuracy
   • Thousands of clinics and physician practices are using NC-stat
   • Validated against academic and community neurology laboratories
   • Hundreds of thousands of tests performed annually
   • NC-stat used by numerous physicians including Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Rheumatology, Primary Care, Physical Medicine, and Pain Management as their diagnostic tool of choice


3. Straightforward
   • Preconfigured biosensors for each nerve
     • Placed using anatomical landmarks
     • Detailed placement guides provided
     • Biosensors automatically provide for appropriate measurements and electrode spacing
   • Accurate results obtained
     • Device analyzes waveforms and checks signal integrity
   • Automation reduces testing time


4. Quality through Automation
   • Completely automated system
   • Adjusts for temperature, height, age, and important nerve conduction covariates
     • Skin surface temperature measurement embedded in biosensor
   • Automated determination of:
     • Optimal stimulation intensity
     • Reliability of waveforms
     • Electrical "noise" effecting signals
     • CMAP and SNAP waveform features including latency, amplitude, and configuration parameters
     • Computer generated report available in real-time


5. Patient Benefits
   • Broadest range of straightforward, accurate testing
   • Assists in immediate diagnosis of neurological conditions, such as:
     • Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
     • Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
     • Spinal Stenosis
     • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
     • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
     • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
   • Patient-friendly test completed in 15-25 minutes
   • Test causes little or no discomfort


6. Reimbursed
• Standard nerve conduction studies performed
• All tests performed under standard CPT codes
• NC-stat meets payer requirements for nerve conduction testing
• Automated system allows staff to efficiently conduct accurate testing
