Electronystagmography (for identification of middle ear conditions), Electroneurography (for facial nerve and blink reflex), Visual evoked potentials, Auditory evoked potentials, and Electrical (somatosensory) evoked potentials.
Device Story
Amplaid MK22 is a multi-channel electrodiagnostic system; acquires physiological signals via two channels; coupled to microcomputer for signal averaging, storage, and display. Features integrated stimulators for auditory, visual, and electrical (somatosensory) modalities. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals. System includes built-in thermal printer and supports external laser printers. Output allows clinicians to analyze evoked potentials for diagnostic purposes; aids in identifying middle ear conditions, facial nerve/blink reflex status, and neurological function. Compact design (22.2 lbs) compared to predecessor.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and user testing performed. No clinical trial data provided. Results indicate the device is as safe and effective as the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Two-channel signal acquisition system; microcomputer-controlled stimulators (auditory, visual, electrical); 9-inch monochrome CRT display (640x400); built-in thermal printer; 95-250 VAC power supply. Electrical safety complies with UL-544 and IEC 601 (Type BF).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring electrodiagnostic testing, including electronystagmography for middle ear conditions, electroneurography for facial nerve and blink reflex assessment, and visual, auditory, or somatosensory evoked potential testing.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An evoked response electrical stimulator is a device used to apply an electrical stimulus to a patient by means of skin electrodes for the purpose of measuring the evoked response.
