OVERVIEW
KARDi2-NP Computer-Based Polygraphic Amplifier is designed for researchers and biomedical system developers. This compact device supports up to 6 ECG channels and 6 universal active sensor channels (e.g., respiration, galvanic skin response, photoplethysmography, etc.).
Applications include: biomedical research, polygraphy, sleep studies, cardiology, screening diagnostics, and lie detection.
Sensor channels are galvanically isolated from ECG channels, ensuring compatibility with electrophysiological measurements and patient safety.
Two digital inputs and two outputs enable synchronized recording or triggering of external events in biofeedback and neuromodulation systems.
The amplifier is compatible with a growing line of proprietary NeoSens sensors. Currently available sensors include:
- chest breathing sensor (belt),
- galvanic skin response sensor,
- naso-oral breathing sensor (thermometric),
- accelerometric acceleration sensor,
- photoplethysmographic finger sensor.
KARDi2-NP supports EScreen software and Cardiovisor.
