Somedic - Model Somedic MSA NG -Thermal Stimulator

The Somedic MSA NG is a modular system, giving users the option to upgrade and/or add new functions. Also our modular components facilitate service and maintenance. All communication with the Somedic MSA NG goes by the standard serial port. A (lap top) computer is sufficient for efficient work.

The Thermal Stimulator features an innovative new design in thermodes. The new thermodes offer high thermal capacity and exceptionally even temperature distribution across the thermode surface. The thermodes include dual temperature sensors on the thermode surface and a third on the thermode heat exchanger.

Not approved for sale in the US.

Further needs? Somedic SenseLab has produced a version of the Somedic MSA NG that is compatible with fMRi equipment. Substantial modifications have been done and an upgrade kit is available. Please contact us for further information.

• Quantification of small fibre function

• Thermal stimuli with high accuracy and repeatability 
• Thermodes of different sizes, that easily can be exchanged, adapting the Somedic MSA NG to tests at different anatomical locations 
• A dedicated Windows program that handles all set-ups and running of the Somedic MSA NG, as well as storage of the results in a standard Access databases, that facilitates the generation of various types of reports

Intended use
Somedic MSA NG is intended for the study, in medical practice and research, of the relationship between the intensity of controlled thermal stimuli and the associated percept(s). Determination of perception and/or pain thresholds are performed by using a hand-held transducer to apply on intact skin stimuli of accurately controlled temperatures.
