A dynamic non invasive test Impeto Medical patented technology measures the capacity of the autonomic sweat glands to release chloride ions in response to an electrochemical stimulus. It is a dynamic test. A low voltage potential of variable amplitude is applied to sensors on regions of the skin with a high density of sweat glands (hands
Sweat function evaluation Why evaluate sudomotor function? Sweat glands are innervated by small diameter sympathetic C-fibers. Sudomotor (sweat) dysfunction can be one of the earliest detectable neurophysiologic abnormalities in distal small fiber neuropathies. Quantitative assessment of sweat response has been proposed as an index of the severity and distribution of autonomic failure as well as
The peripheral autonomic neuropathy is a major complication of diabetes The sweat glands are innervated by sympathetic unmyelinated nerve fibers of small diameter. Exploring the sweat function was proposed to evaluate the severity of autonomic neuropathy. [1] Neuropathic involvement of small fibers develops very early in patients with diabetes [2]. We find these impairments in
Promotional Communication. The medical devices SUDOSCAN & EZSCAN are regulated health products under the CE certification, Class IIa, according to the European Medical Device directive – SGS Belgium, notified body 1639. The test allows screening and monitoring of peripheral autonomic neuropathies. It can be performed in diabetic patients or in patients suffering from neurological diseases involving small fibers damage. As with any diagnostic test, its results must be interpreted in a global context including the clinic and other examinations performed. Please read the user manual instructions carefully.
