Increased sensitivity with reduced interference

The NIM-Response 2.0 is more sensitive to lower-level EMG activity because it has an improved signal-to-noise ratio.

   • Lets you hear and identify smaller EMG signals to help you minimize nerve 
     manipulation during surgery

System-wide improvements give the NIM-Response 2.0 cleaner EMG signals 
and reduced susceptibility to interference.

   • Less noise and fewer false positives

The NIM-Response 2.0 features improved emissions so that it has minimal impact on ABR moitoring and complies with Class B emission standards.

   • Minimal impact on ABR monitoring

Because of a lower baseline, the NIM-Response 2.0 can detect events of lower amplitude.
