Innovating Precision Care through Medical Product Engineering: Unified EMG and EIM Neuromuscular Diagnostic System

Unified EMG and EIM neuromuscular diagnostic system developed through medical product engineering and hardware design services for precise muscle assessment

About Client

A leading medical technology company, working in collaboration with top hospitals and neurology departments across the USA and Europe. The client specializes in advanced diagnostic devices for neuromuscular and neurophysiological disorders, with a strong focus on precision, compliance and clinician usability. Their initiatives are strongly driven by medical product engineering innovations aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.

Client’s Challenge

The client needed a unified diagnostic system that could combine Electromyography (EMG) and Electrical Impedance Measurements (EIM) in a single device with high precision, regulatory safety compliance and a user-friendly software interface. Existing solutions were fragmented, bulky and lacked the ability to capture multi-modal invasive data efficiently.
 
To overcome these limitations through advanced medical product engineering and hardware design services, the system was designed to:
 
  • Support simultaneous EMG and EIM measurements for comprehensive muscle assessment.
  •  Offer needle-based precision to ensure accurate signal acquisition during invasive diagnostics.
  •  Provide real-time visualization and clinician-friendly interfaces, streamlining clinical workflows.
  •  Meet IEC 60601 safety standards, align with ISO 13485 processes and be FDA submission-ready for regulatory approval.

iOrbit Solution

Leveraging deep expertise in medical product engineering and specialized hardware design services, we developed the EMG-EIM diagnostic platform – a neuromuscular system that integrates EMG and EIM signal acquisition into a single, clinician-friendly device.

The system combines a custom Analog Front-End (AFE) with high-end processing and advanced digital technology, ensuring superior performance, safety and regulatory compliance.

Key Highlights of the EMG-EIM System:

  • Dual Measurement Capability - Supports both EMG and EIM, enabling comprehensive muscle health monitoring.
  • Custom Needle - Invasive needle design with six metal contacts: two electrodes for EMG and four for impedance measurement, allowing simultaneous acquisition of multi-modal data.
  • Advanced Hardware Architecture - Built on a high-end processor and advanced technology platform for reliable control, stimulation generation and high-speed signal acquisition.
  • Signal Conditioning Chain - Optimized with buffers, programmable-gain amplifiers and high-resolution ADCs to deliver accurate, noise-free EMG/EIM recordings.
  • Safety & Compliance – Designed to meet IEC 60601 standards, aligned with ISO 13485 processes and FDA submission-ready for safe clinical use.
  • Clinician Workflow Integration - Desktop software for clinicians to:
  • Capture, visualize and record EMG and EIM signals in real time.
  • Configure acquisition parameters.
  • Manage patient data and generate automated reports.
