PS-2100 is a device for the quantitative detection of sensory neurological impairments. The population of subjects for whom this device may be used include any individual capable of communicating their perception of cutaneous sensation. PS-2100's examination may be conducted as part of a routine neurological examination or as a screening procedure. This device may be used by healthcare professionals to evaluate or diagnose a patient for peripheral neuropathy.

The PS-2100 is a type of Sensory Nerve Threshold Measurement System Device. The electrical stimulus is applied in gradually increasing amounts to the electrode attached to the patient. Disposable gel electrodes are attached to the patient connecting the electrode. The current value at which the patient initially senses the stimulation is referred to as the Current Perception Threshold (C.P.T.) value. Measurement may be conducted in one of two modes - Standalone mode by which the device itself is used for measurements, and System mode whereby the device is connected to a personal computer for administration of data. The patient is provided a hand switch to cease measurement at any time during the test.
