ProCardio 8 is a 128-channel PC-based mobile ECG mapping system. The measuring unit allows the connection of passive and active ECG electrodes. The system represents a new generation of devices for the diagnostics of heart diseases. It differs from its predecessors in particular in the larger possible number of measuring channels, complete battery supply, optical separation of the measuring unit, the use of active electrodes and 22-bit converters for each measured channel. The sophisticated software enables long-term ECG recording, its processing and calculation of surface potential maps, which are the input for diagnostic methods based on inverse solutions (ECG imaging). |

BioLab ATR – is a PC-based device for measuring the reflex of the Achilles tendon. It is another module of the Biolab system designed for laboratory biophysical examinations of the patient. The ATR module (Achilles Tendom Reflex) is a non-contact sensor of foot movement during mechanical stimulation of the Achilles tendon with a neurological hammer. The time intervals in the sensed reflection characterize the state of the neuromuscular system, which is affected by the activity of the thyroid gland. |

ProGastro 3 – PC-based device for measuring the electrical activity of the gastrointestinal tract. ProGastro 3 is a portable battery-powered device with recharging from the 230V / 50Hz network. It consists of a control PC and a measuring terminal based on the ADµC812 microcontroller, which is connected via the RS232 serial bus. The measuring terminal provides sensing of one reference ECG signal and 4 electrogastrographic (EGG) signals, with the possibility of program control of gain and frequency response of channels. The device has active compensation of synphase interfering signals. Its software includes long-term recording of signals in real time, their archiving, preprocessing and evaluation in the time and frequency domain.
