Mediracer NCS Installation Training and Support

Designed to offer a fast, reliable and cost-effective diagnostic method for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Mediracer® NCS is a compelling investment for general practices, occupational health providers, hand specialists and orthopedic professionals.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common upper extremity problem with 3-5% prevalence in the adult population. In addition about 15% of the population suffer from occasional carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms including numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand.

Undiagnosed and untreated carpal tunnel syndrome may have long lasting ill-effects. Whether the treatment is non-surgical or surgical, an early diagnosis is crucial.

Mediracer® NCS tests for carpal tunnel syndrome related median nerve entrapment. The test is performed using disposable surface electrodes, and grades the severity of the syndrome identified. With the Mediracer system, there is no requirement for additional needle-EMG tests.

Tests are collected on the Mediracer device and transmitted securely via the internet to be assessed by a consultant in neurophysiology. The consultant compiles the report, and makes it available via the company's secure website for retrieval.
