SUDOSCAN device SUDOSCAN is a test that provides an accurate evaluation of sweat gland function. SUDOSCAN’s focus on small nerve fibers within the peripheral nervous system innervating the sweat glands. SUDOSCAN measures the ability of the sweat glands to release chloride ions in response to an electrochemical stimulus on the palms of the hands and
SUDOSCAN applications Sudomotor dysfunction is a common finding, and one of the earliest detectable abnormalities in several peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. Small fiber neuropathies have been tested with SUDOSCAN in different diseases and compared to reference diagnosis tests: • Neurology• Diabetes• Oncology• Follow-up Click on the application to view description NEUROLOGY – AMYLOIDOSIS – SJÖRGEN’S SYNDROME –
SUDOSCAN results compared to biopsy and QSART SUDOSCAN effectiveness have been compared to main small fiber neuropathy assessment technics in several scientific publications. G. Smith et al [1] have demonstrated SUDOSCAN’s diagnostic performance was comparable to Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber Density (IENFD) and QSART in detecting Neuropathy.

Controlling disease progression Type 2 diabetes often progresses in silence, without developing clinically relevant symptoms. It frequently remains undiagnosed until complications appear. As much as one third of all cases may not be detected at all [1]. At the same time, there is epidemiologic evidence that complications are triggered in a much earlier stage of
A test of sudoral function The degeneration of small nerve fibers reduces sweat gland innervation and impairs sudomotor function. SUDOSCAN tests sweat gland function by applying a small direct current to both hand and foot sensor plates. At a low voltage, the stratum corneum acts as a capacitor, leaving the sweat ducts as the only
EZSCAN is a medical device for the early detection of peripheral autonomic neuropathies to identify people at increased risk of diabetes (pre-diabetes included). More information about SUDOSCAN ? CONTACT US Feel free to contact us with your question
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.
